What do you guys drink? was created by OPTRON

I've been curious for a while now and therefor my subject, what do you guys drink?

I'm not referring to any supplements or pre- or post- drinks. I'm referring to general. When sitting on the couch or having 'n braai outside?

Obviously besides my supps, I try to drink as much water as possible, but I really enjoy a cup of coffee in the mornings after all sessions and supps. When at home and relaxing, I really enjoy an ice cold Coke Zero (Not because it don't have sugar, because I really enjoy the taste). Then over weekends, I would enjoy the occasional Castle Light.

Surely non of you only drink supplements and water 24/7.

That brings me to the question, what do you guys enjoy as the occasional drink when at work or just relaxing?

Sore today, strong tomorrow!!!

Sprite Zero when I am hot and feel like a cold drink. Other wise just plain Rooibos tea no milk no sugar or sweeteners. But also need one cup of strong black bitter coffee to tell my body and brain OK now its time to start the daily grind... When with family and friends for a braai or get together I enjoy 2-3 Windhoek Lights

It is on you. It always has been...

I drink water and green tea with chamomile tea bag in it too.. If I do every drink a juice its sprite zero, but it causes me to get bloated. I love coffee, but i'm on enough stimulants because of ADHD that I can't drink it often as it gives me palpitations, as I must have it very strong

I never drink any alcohol but my weakness sometimes is a future life drink (they really are delicious)

It's the 'healthiest' sugar free soda option. Woolies uses sucrolose and stevia as sweeteners instead of aspartame and acesulfamine k.

About a liter of milk a day, two liters of water, maybe a glass of something fizzy and then one or two glasses of wine a week when the missus has some

Use to drink alot of beer (Quarts and Quarts) and yes you know what happens....

Now just water, sometimes with ACC, black coffee with no sugar, one day in the week drinking a few beers or 1 or 2 whiskeys on the rocks can't harm right?

You gonna keep getting what you've been getting...

Don't like fizzy drinks or anything sweet in general.
To be honest and lots won't admit I drink beer and the occasional scotch, love it.
So do all the other steroid rangers I know. What's life without an ice cold beer...
Not advising merely being honest

Thanks for all the inputs guys, really interesting and some new options.

1) What's the take on beer? Say n light type of beer. Besides for feeling shit the next day, does it have a major negative effect on your training when having say 3-4?

2) Coffee? Most pre-workouts make use of caffeine. Say one can reduce your sugar intake, does it still hamper your training when compared to n drink like Sprite Zero?

Its one 750ml milk stout for me for the carbs, 3-4 beers I cant count that high after one milk stout. I have no hangover the next day in fact I might say I have slightly better endurance the following day if I train but it may be all in my head.

Let's not be pedantic. A few cold ones won't harm you if you recreational. We men, we juice, shag and drink beer

I train hard and heavy, no additional fat or training issues, just easing the day off with a frosty.
