    Anything without calories would be best. I drink water with fruit in it (strawberry and mint is my favorite. If you use frozen strawberries, the color and flavor gets diffused so much quicker, and your water actually tastes like strawberry)
    Crystal Light, Mio, and other flavored non calorie or super low calorie drinks could work, as well as tea, or lemonade with Stevia or Truvia, etc. I do not like to drink my calories.

    The best is a cup of hot tea

    In particular Jasmine Tea is very strong and delicious.

    Just water. Enjoy the taste of your food. Avoid liquid calories (unless it's a glass or two of wine with dinner :) )

    Like everyone else said, water is your best bet! Or some tea!

    Water mainly for me and in addition to adding fruit, cucumbers in water is yummy, too!

    Also, I brew a pitcher of black tea and sweeten it with a packet of Crystal Light lemonade. Really good!

    I usually stick to water, but you can make your own iced tea in bulk, lightly sweetened with sugar or whatever you prefer. My recipe: in a gallon jug or ice cream pail, 6 orange pekoe tea bags + 1 lemon herbal tea bag, pour 4 cups boiling water over to steep for at least a half hour. Remove bags and add sweetener - I add 1 and 1/3 cup sugar; dissolve. Add cold water to fill jug, mix completely. Refridgerate &/or pour over ice. I can vary the flavor with different herbal tea flavors, and I use decaffeinated tea. This iced tea is about 1/2 the calories of any store-bought iced tea.

    I usually drink water with meals, but I second the make your own iced tea idea. I find some flavor I like--usually a fruit-based herbal tea--and chill a pitcher in the refrigerator. I don't add any sugar, as it's unnecessary.
