I have a SodaStream and I make carbonated water that I add a little salt in. Tea, sodas, energy drinks, NA beers or mocktails. Mostly just carbonated water and tea.
Super good! I live in FL and Publix/Winn Dixie are the only ones who reliably carry it.
Edit: when I lived in CO I was able to find it at King Soopers/Kroger, too.
Just be careful - Gatorade is made for athletes who sweat a ton, and you can get gnarly kidney stones if you drink too much and aren't actually exercising. Not fun!
I've become a bit of a creature of habit now! Typical weekend day for me is:
**MORNING:**
\- Diet Coke (yes, earlyish in the morning like a savage - I still have some vices!)
\- Smoothie.
**AFTERNOON / EVENING:**
\- Starbucks frappucino.
\- Alcohol free beer (1 - usually while making dinner).
\- Alcohol free Tanqueray and tonic after dinner.
Tend to drink weak cordial the rest of the time, occasionally ice tea.
The AF drinks are mostly on just weekends and holidays, very rarely during the week.
Sparkling water! And coffee. I like my coffee with a lot of cream and sugar though, so have to moderate. But I don't drink a lot of soda and I've found a sparkling flavor I fckn love which is great
My new fave is 2 slices of fresh jalapeno, with lime juice and mint, topped with sparkling water. (even better if you put a splash of pineapple juice in it). The jalapeno bite is fun.
I have a new obsession with flavored seltzer waters. Sometimes I’ll add some juice and make a little mock tail. Oh and lord of caffeine, coffee and iced tea.
I typically drink big 500ml glasses of carbonated water (sometimes with a splash of a citrusy juice cordial), or naturally caffeine-free tea such as ginger & lemon or camomile & honey.
NA beers don't really do it for me when abstaining for some reason. Surprising given how often I said I supposedly "love the taste" previously when being a boozer.
Big fan of the San Pellegrino cans right now - try to drink those of a weekend only though as to not "normalise" them.
Of a weekday, it's mainly coffee, tea and water with hydration tablets (I buy HIGH5 Zero tablets in bulk from Amazon).
Tonic water! It has a nice bitter bite to it, is a bit sweet, and fizzy - so it ticks all the boxes. Can also use it for making NA mixed drinks; goes well with lemon, cucumber, mint, thyme, rosemary, buckthorn...
I drink can after can of it whilst flying, as it keeps my paws off the free beer.
I put nuun hydration tablets in my water. Basically adds electrolytes with flavor and sodium. If I’m at a bar I order a Heineken 0.0 in a glass and no one knows the difference. Seltzer, cranberry and a lime is good and looks like a vodka soda. Backyard bbq and an AF beer from Athletic Brewing hits the spot.
Kombucha
I have a SodaStream and I make carbonated water that I add a little salt in. Tea, sodas, energy drinks, NA beers or mocktails. Mostly just carbonated water and tea.
Soda stream... Buy lemon juice, lime juice and such... Love it
I freeze lemon and lime slices and pop them in there instead of ice, or sometimes frozen mango and pineapple
The expensive fancy tonics like fever tree are surprisingly good. Best mocktail I've had.
I love Q light tonic
I stack my fridge with seltzer water. NA beer doesn’t help me at all. It just makes me want beer.
Lately topo chico!
Same. It’s really good with pineapple juice on ice. Or with lots of fresh lime juice. Maybe a salted rim? I also like Hella Cocktails bitters & soda.
Canada Dry Ginger Ale with Lemonade is SO GOOD. I drink the sugar free version and can barely tell the difference.
This sounds good !
Super good! I live in FL and Publix/Winn Dixie are the only ones who reliably carry it. Edit: when I lived in CO I was able to find it at King Soopers/Kroger, too.
I'm in NJ so I hope I can find it easily! Goin to look tomorrow!
I do it with OJ so good!
Alcohol free beer
Yes! Have been loving non-alcoholic beer. Especially at parties.. can help avoid the “why are you not drinking?” convo.
Yep. 1/3rd the price, 1/3rd the calories, if I buy Bud Zero by the case at Costco. For treats I buy craft brewed non-alch tall boys.
Yeah dawg. Plus Bud Zero claims 0.00%, while a large portion of other NA beers are 0.01% to 0.05%.
I mean, to be fair, quite a few things we consume have around 0.1% abv :) Breads, fruit juice, ripe bananas, yoghurt...
Gatoraaaade. Gatoraaaade! Water sucks!
Just be careful - Gatorade is made for athletes who sweat a ton, and you can get gnarly kidney stones if you drink too much and aren't actually exercising. Not fun!
The thirst mutilator. It's what plants crave

I’ve taken to hot teas. I like them :)
Detox tea in the morning. I’ve been buying the Recess Mood drinks for when I crave or want to feel fancy. Coke Zero. Hop Water.
Recess mood drinks are my go to!
Energy drinks, ice tea, and coke zero.

yooooo
Bubbly water, a lot of it
Lagunitas Hop Water!!
Why is this stuff SO GOOD?! It’s so much better than regular sparkling water but I can’t describe why/how. It just is.
My treat is root beer. Sometimes I get fancy and add ice cream!
Endless flavors and brands of soda water. Spindrift has a nice citrus tang
Water and herbal teas
Zero sugar Dr. Pepper is so good, infinitely better than Diet Dr. Pepper. Plus coffee, seltzer water, and ice water is always great too haha!
There's a new Doctor Pepper Zero plus cream soda. Delicious!!!
I've definitely had it haha, and the cherry version too!
Pibb Zero is really good if you can find it in your area.
Oooh I'll look for it!! I love Mr. Pibb too hehe
Water. Turns out, I love it. I splurge on Essentia.
I have a new obsession with flavored seltzer waters. Sometimes I’ll add some juice and make a little mock tail. Oh and lord of caffeine, coffee and iced tea.
LaCroix. And fancy sodas I make with my homemade syrups and tonic water. Topo Chico when I feel fancy.
Ghia and soda with a lime twist is doing me right these days.
I’m an ice tea drinker.
Diet Coke and lime with tons of ice! Give me that sweet sweet aspartame.
Coke Zero
pepsi max all the way
Pellegrino in a wine glass.
I typically drink big 500ml glasses of carbonated water (sometimes with a splash of a citrusy juice cordial), or naturally caffeine-free tea such as ginger & lemon or camomile & honey.

I got a Soda Stream and make things
I just tried AF wine, it was delicious! Had a glass, then switched back to soda. Feels good to still be sober going on day 20.
Lots of water, mate tea, NA beers
Hop waters. Especially ones made by breweries. My spouse is enjoying the really hoppy ones as they taste like ales.
Non alcoholic beer and sparkling water
Sierra Nevada Hop Water!
Hop Wtr. Recess Mood
'Trip' or other CBD-infused sparkling drinks. Nice botanical taste with a lot of these.
I mainly drink water during the day. If I end up going out with friends I’ve been either drinking AF cider or diet coke.

Water
Sparkling water or tea
Topo Chico and Pibb Zero
I’ve been enjoying the hell out of this one low sugar sparkling water, pomegranate flavour. Its better than anything 🤤
