I have a Keurig and drink Lattes, decaf coffees, and a lot of herbal tea. Alllll day. When I am not at a meeting. There, just plain ol Wal mart brand coffee, cause, that's what we have 
Not so big on soda anymore because I used it as a mixer. I also don't drink any juice anymore, either.

It has as much alcohol as a piece of over ripe fruit (i think 0.05%) due to natural fermentation. It's at Whole Foods and i love it. The Ripe Rouge and Crisp White flavors are great. They blend flavors so it's a nice, complex blend.
mainly I drink water and bottled diet berry ice tea

...the diet ginger ale is very affordable as well!Flavored sparkling water is my "go to drink". Or just plain ole cold water.
I also try all kinds of hot/cold teas.
Iced vanilla flavored coffees/lattes and tons of keurigs little single coffee.
I juice a lot as well at home or buy from a cafe down the road.
My body says "thank you" each time for avoiding the real poison

I make pitchers of Crystal Light peach iced tea. Also Diet Arizona Diet Green Tea is great and no calories. Crystal Light also has a variety pack of little tubes of powered drinks to add to your bottle of water. (5 calories) There's lemonade, raspberry lemonade, wild strawberry and cherry pomegranate. Nice if you're sick of plain water!

I buy the powdered low calorie gatorade mix and put about 1/2 the regular mix into water in the 1/2 a dozen old gatorade bottles i have at home. Whenever i finish one I make another bottle and I go through about 3 quarts a day. It's almost no calories too. One package is about 3-4 dollars and makes 16 or so quarts instead of 8.
It really seems to help because the only day I drank was the day after the 4th of July when all I drank was Diet Pepsi for 2 days out doing 4th of July stuff. Between those drinks and keeping myself full I don't crave alcohol at all. Now I just need to be sure to always have a bottle or 2 cold when I go out lol.

During the first several weeks I drank gallons of pink lemonade. Now, I drink coffee with a splash of almond milk in the a.m., and gallons of Pelligrino throughout the rest of the day.
When I get bored I'll add a splash of oj or slices of fruit (strawberries work well) to the Pellegrino.
For whatever reason, the drinking glass is key for me, so I'm usually drinking out of a champagne flute, a favorite martini glass, or a nice wine glass. When I first quit I drank my lemonade out of my favorite martini glass. Hey, whatever works. I'm still sober.
