  1. What drink wakes you up best in the morning?
    Water. Water & toothpaste. The taste at least reminds me that I should be awake.

  2. During the day, what do you drink to keep going?
    To keep going? I don't need to drink something just to keep going. I mean, other than so I don't dehydrate. I do drink a lot of diet soda tho'. I always try to keep fruit juice handy in the fridge & water is always available. Well.... usually. My neighborhood had none from the well yesterday but I still have a supply in bottles.

  3. Do you drink the recommended 8 glasses of water per day? Why/why not?
    Why the hell is it recommended? Drink when you're thirsty. Don't when you're not. Otherwise you're just going to be apeein later.

  4. What are the ingredients of your favorite mixed drink? (Doesn't have to be alcoholic!)
    Milk + Ovaltine.

  5. Are you a coffee drinker? How do you take your coffee, if so?
    Gods, no it's hideous. I don't understand why people drink that nasty stuff. They say it's an "acquired taste" but if it tastes like crap the first time why drink it again?

Of course, I do like my coffee the same way I like my women.

Also, coffee does have it's good points

1. What drink wakes you up best in the morning?-Coffee. If I can't have that, tea will suffice.

2. During the day, what do you drink to keep going? Mostly water. I do drink soda, but not very often

3. Do you drink the recommended 8 glasses of water per day? Why/why not? No, but I do drink at least 3 or 4 very large glasses of it, and each glass is way more than 8 ounces.

4. What are the ingredients of your favorite mixed drink? (Doesn't have to be alcoholic!) For non-alcoholic, I like good old fashioned lemonade. Just lemons, water, and sugar. For an alcoholic drink, I like margaritas. I know it has tequila in it. Not sure what else goes in there, but I like it. And salt-rimmed, please.

5. Are you a coffee drinker? How do you take your coffee, if so? Yes. One packet of Splenda, and a splash of milk.

1. What drink wakes you up best in the morning?

Coffee, of course, though I only drink it mid-morning. The reason for it is that anything I eat or drink before I've been awake and working for two full hours will most probably end up out again. So, no eating/drinking until 10am.

2. During the day, what do you drink to keep going?

Water, coke, more coffee, and some really tasty milkshake I buy for like, less than an euro.

3. Do you drink the recommended 8 glasses of water per day? Why/why not?

Oh, boy, I drink far more. I am always drinking water, and when I'm not, I'm drinking coke or coffee. But seriously, you'll always see me with a glass of water. And I drink it because I'm always thirsty - and because it's the healthiest drink ever!

4. What are the ingredients of your favorite mixed drink? (Doesn't have to be alcoholic!)

Uhm, that's a hard one, because I hardly drink mixed drinks. I am known for getting out my blender and try for new drinks, including any and every fruit I have at hand, and milk. I love milk, don't you ever think of taking it from me!

5. Are you a coffee drinker? How do you take your coffee, if so?

I am a coffee drinker, only I don't like the taste of coffee. I usually drink a cafe latte, or a caramel macchiatto if I'm near a Starbucks *points to icon*

1. What drink wakes you up best in the morning? Tea! I never ever drink coffee as the first thing in the morning. Just not my thing. Upsets my stomach. :/
2. During the day, what do you drink to keep going? Whatever is on hand. :) Ice tea is a yummy summer drink for example! :)
3. Do you drink the recommended 8 glasses of water per day? Why/why not? During summer maybe, but not otherwise.. I don't know why.. Getting more thirsty on summer? :) On summer time I'm carrying a water bottle around with me pretty often so it's easy to drink from it.
4. What are the ingredients of your favorite mixed drink? (Doesn't have to be alcoholic!) Hmm..I like so many things..anything refreshing, really. :)
5. Are you a coffee drinker? How do you take your coffee, if so? Yes, I drink coffee too. Not that often though. Almost never making it just for myself at home, but if someone visits then I'm usually making it though. And at cafés I usually take coffee too. Oh, and a plain one for me, thx. No sugar, no milk, just the coffee as it is. :)

1. What drink wakes you up best in the morning?
Nothing really helps me wake up, except time. I do, however, have a latte on the way to work.

2. During the day, what do you drink to keep going?
Water or tea. Black tea, usually Twinings Lady Grey. Iced tea in the summer.

3. Do you drink the recommended 8 glasses of water per day? Why/why not?
Probably, but I don't keep count. I just keep a water bottle at my desk at work, and a glass on the kitchen counter at home.

4. What are the ingredients of your favorite mixed drink? (Doesn't have to be alcoholic!)
Either a strawberry lemonade (lemonade, sliced strawberries) or an Arnold Palmer (1/2 iced tea, 1/2 lemonade).

5. Are you a coffee drinker? How do you take your coffee, if so?
I used to drink 8 or 9 cups of strong black coffee a day, but my stomach eventually rebelled. Now I limit myself to 1 latte a day, made with soy milk.

1. What drink wakes you up best in the morning? I prefer not to rely on anything to wake me up for as long as possible. If I drink anything in the morning, it's just a glass of milk because it's healthy.

2. During the day, what do you drink to keep going? Water. If I get too dehydrated, I get headaches.

3. Do you drink the recommended 8 glasses of water per day? Why/why not? I probably have 8 glasses of liquid, but it may not necessarily be water. However, it usually is fairly healthy things like the aforementioned milk. I must say I've never kept track, however.

4. What are the ingredients of your favorite mixed drink? (Doesn't have to be alcoholic!) I've found people that had the same idea (and the same recipe) on the Internet, but I did come up with it on my own; inspired by "butterbeer" from Harry Potter, I have a drink I make that involves cream soda, Butterscotch Schnapps, and a little bit of vanilla vodka.

5. Are you a coffee drinker? How do you take your coffee, if so? No. I don't want to develop an addiction, and I'm super sensitive to caffeine, to boot. (I can't even have tea or soda after like 3:00 pm or I'm up all night). Plus (though I love the smell) I do not like the taste-- whipped cream and chocolate and flavoring someone might pimp it out with regardless.

1. What drink wakes you up best in the morning?
Water or juice usually.

2. During the day, what do you drink to keep going?
Coke. Trying to break the habit, but I *FEEL* its absence :(

3. Do you drink the recommended 8 glasses of water per day? Why/why not?
No, water's an interesting conundrum with me. I drink a ton when I"m paying attention, but if I don't take it with me or have it readily available, I don't drink nearly enough. I'm trying to drink more of it to wean myself off the Coke.

And no, I don't drink any of the vitamin water crap that's all expensive and trendy. Water is free, and if I was gonna drink that vitamin water crap, I might as well drink Coke.

4. What are the ingredients of your favorite mixed drink? (Doesn't have to be alcoholic!)
Virgin slushie drinks and the like are a seriously untapped market. But I loves my virgin caesars, moderately spicy, with a bean or asparagus instead of icky celery.

5. Are you a coffee drinker? How do you take your coffee, if so?
YUCK NO. I worked as a receptionist once and part of my daily duties was making the coffee in the morning. Just the smell of the grounds made me sick.

There's a great herbal "substitute" (so-called) called Caf-Lib (it's chicory and other herbs, in reality) and I take it with milk & sugar. But I haven't had it in FOREVER.
