What do enjoy quenching your thirst with? Soda? Smoothie? Something icy?

Tall glass of good down home ice tea....southern style that is! Meaning, its brewed with the sugar in it, the only rel ice tea!!!

I prefer quenching my thirst with water so I can enjoy a tastier beverage without ending up chugging it. 

Like for instance, homemade ginger ale.

Syrup recipe:

 

In a pot: 2 cups water, 2 cups brown sugar, toss in one sliced ginger root (at least 1/4 lb). Let it soak while doing the next steps.

 

Whole spices: 2 tsp cardamom pods, 1 tsp allspice, 1 tsp peppercorns, a few star anise pods. 

Toast the whole spices in a sauté pan until they are fragrant and lightly browned, then dump them in the pot.

Bring the mixture to a simmer for 15 minutes.   Let it steep until cool, then strain into a 1 quart pitcher.
Add to carbonated water.

Wow! That looks tasty!

When thirsty, definitely. However when our mouth or tongues get to the place, dry enough to thirst, I understand we're already dehydrated enough for it to be unhealthy. In fact some years ago I began suffering severe vertebral pain, to the point of considering going to a doctor. Praise God I remembered some advice about dehydration already in progress before the tongue reminds one and it not only started a habit of drinking about 40 0z. each morning, usually, and the pains totally vanished within 36 hours, only reoccuring when failing to drink faithfully.

Water

And decaf coffee :D

Water at home, when out and about diet coke or sweet tea, and in the fall/winter hot apple cider.

When I am driving and starting to fight a deadly-dangerous sleepiness, I go for caffeine. I've discovered that both Dr. Pepper and coffee will keep me awake for the drive, but that Dr. Pepper will prevent me from sleeping that night when I want to, while a cup of coffee will let me have a solid night's rest. Neither are satisfying for thirst, however. I really do love good water more than any other possible thing to drink.

I mostly drink water - lots of it. 

But sometimes with a meal I feel like something a bit fancier, so I tend to have soda water with half a lemon squeezed into it, over ice.

[Sojourner]

Favourite would be Coca-Cola, yet that would be seldom if ever these days!

 

Regulars are weak Green Tea flavoured with lemon juice or Diet Coke or simply water.
