What do you like to drink?

While I was drinking alcohol, and thinking about stopping, I always wondered but what shall I drink instead??

My fridge is full of strawberry milkshake, sparkling fruit juice and btls of blackcurrant.

What do you drink instead? xx

Aren't they hard to get in a glass? Swallowing them must be a challenge as well

Cold water, coffee, herbal teas, fruit and vegetable juices. I've never been into sodas or anything artificially flavored.

Black coffee. Perrier.

I'm thinking of getting myself a Sodastream - I love carbonation.

1 cup - Earl Grey, hot! In the morning
Pelligrino on ice - during the day
Chamomile/herbal teas - at night

When I got sober, I cut out soda and coffee. The caffeine is a trigger for my anxiety which is one trigger for my drinking.

When out and socializing, perrier with lime wedge
Work/home decaf coffee
Water, a rare diet coke,
Chamommile honey tea
I think that's about it.
If there's alcohol at an event, I usually quickly get my hands on a large tumbler of soda water with lime or a touch of cranberry juice. Once it's there I feel safer and my thoughts don't wander.

Coffee or seltzer water. An occasional treat is a nice soda.

I enjoy Mio -- comes in many flavors - just add a few drops to water.

Peppermint tea bought at the 99 cent store -- it's good for you.
