I am not a coffee fan. I can live with it in fact. Unlike my hubby, he can't start the day without his cup of coffee. I drink tea. I like it. I like it simple, no sugar, no milk but sometimes I like it with lemon and honey. I like drinking tea after a full meal. I settles my tummy. And if there is something I can really live without... it's soda. I'm not a big fan of soda. So which do you prefer... coffee, tea or soda?

I hardly ever drink tea...It is not that I don't like it, but I hardly ever drink Tea. To an extent, same is the thing with a coffee. However, I like Lemoande a lot. Since here, I have to choose over Coffee Tea or Soda, I would go for soda. It seems to refresh me to lot extents! It makes me feel fresh enough to get back to work...Because of its simple liquidity and a bit of acidic nature, it stimulates me better than tea or coffee. Hence, the soda!

Thanks for the response guys. I well, we all have different preferences with regards to drink. I do drink them all but I can live without them.

I rarely drink coffee. I drink a mountain dew or cherry coke every day. That gives me my caffeine fix.

I like the taste of mountain dew too but I haven't tried cherry coke. I'm curious.

Cherry coke in the can was a serious pregnancy craving for me. If I sent my husband on a run for some and he came home with a plastic bottle, I'd flip!

I don't drink coffee (unless it's decaf) because the caffeine makes me too jittery and anxious. I love tea (especially green tea) and drink several cups daily. I occasionally drink diet soda, but try to only drink water and tea.

I like coffee and tea, but not that fond of soda. Usually I drink tea, green tea, green tea with mint, mint tea, and if I want to get to sleep, chamomile tea. I cannot drink black tea. I will try some other herb teas, mostly lemon zinger, or cranberry when it comes around to Christmas. As for coffee, if I have to keep myself awake, or if I go to Tim Horton's, I will drink it. I prefer it with cream only, although if there is a special occasion, I will try one of those fancy creams or fancy coffees, but not that often. So it all depends. I have really no preference. I like coffee and tea equally well.

I can't blame you, when you love something and got it into habit it's hard to quit. Sometimes coffee and soda are addictive too.

hi there! talking about coffee,tea or soda,let me say no to all ,because when you are really very thirsty only plain water gives you respite so plain water is the best thing in any case,and if you talk about after meal drink then there is nothing better than hot water it makes you digest your meal..

WOW, I thought I'm the only one who likes drinking hot water. People laugh at me when they learned that I drink hot water. They find it weird but I like it. I like the feeling of warm water in my tummy. It helps me with my digestion. Thanks.

I like tea very much. In fact, I drink tea in the office or at home every day. And also I push nothing into my cup when i drink it. so I think the simple tea is dest in this world.

I like it simple too, no sugar, milk or honey or lemon. But sometimes, when I get tired of the taste I put some sugar or milk or honey or lemon for a change. Thanks

It depends on what mood I'm in. Sometimes coffee is too much. Sometimes coffee is exactly what I need. I always enjoy tea. I hate soda. I never drink it. My very favorite beverage is actually water.

Water is good. I like it too most of the time. And it's more healthy than the three.

I used to be a coffee drinker until I was pregnant with my 5th child, then I went off it, couldn't stand the smell or taste! I haven't drank coffee since, I drink tea instead.

I see, I just got married and have never bore any kid so I really can't relate. But I heard a lot of women giving it up when they get pregnant. I just wonder why.

Really? 5 to 6 cups of coffee a day. You remind me of my former co-worker, she can do anything without a cup of coffee beside her.

I like coffee and tea about the same, However, i dont really like to drink soda a whole lot.. I do put a tad bit of sugar in my coffee or tea, but nothing compared to teh sugar that is in pop! Plus the carbination in the pop burns my tounge most of the time!! and makes me burpy!! EW who wants to go walking around belching all the time *Giggiles*

I like tea, especially green tea. green tea is good for our health. I drink tea with nothing, I can't think of green tea with milk or something else but have no its own taste. I also drink honey everyday, sometimes with lemon.

For me I can take any of it but just like your hubby, coffee is a must for me first thing in the morning. I am talking about thick black coffee with a teaspoon of sugar. I can go with milk or without milk. Without coffee in the morning I'll be weak and restless. In the afternoon I normally go for soda. In the evening I either take tea or coffee. However, before going to bed I normally drink tea with flavor. If I take coffee before going to bed, I'll not be able to sleep the whole night.

You are right there, that coffee keeps you awake all night when you drink it before going to bed. It really works for me. And I hate it when everybody is sleeping but me.
