    I drink regular tea with soya milk first thing in the morning. Water with fresh lemon or lime or apple juice with water or jasmine tea in the day.

    Chamomile tea at night :)

    Fresh mint tea in the summer!

    I'll make a hot mug of green tea. Add ice to fill a water bottle. Pour cooled tea in an add a couple packs of Equal. Add more ice if needed. It's good. I also do fizzy waters and crystal light.

    I drink a lot of weak decaf green tea. I brew one cup and add another 3 cups of water.

    Black coffee, no sugar. Caf or decaf depending on the time of day. The first week drinking your coffee black is difficult but believe me, after that, you won't be able to drink it any other way.

    Teas of all sorts, Flavored sparkling water, Mio water flavorings, Smoothies, Shaved ice with a few drops of the Mio flavoring, POWERade zero.

    I also enjoy a bottle of soda from time to time. I spread it throughout the day.

    I never thought of putting mio on shaved ice. I love snow cones in the spring and summer but not so much the calories. This could be just the alternative I need.

    I drink all kinds of tea, but I don't find I get bored of water. Coffee and once in a blue moon milk. My husband enjoys Hansen's Soda or any kind of juice/fruit blended with ice. Lemonade is nice on occasion. I think you can really drink whatever you like as long as it fits within your goals.

    I love water, so have no issues drinking it all day, every day (a water bottle is basically an appendage for me). I do drink a lot of fizzy water (now if only my Soda Stream would stop breaking), and I think that's a nice way to break up the monotony of still water, especially if you're trying to break the soda habit. I'll also drink tea, an occasionally a cup of coffee or, if I'm being "bad"and indulgent, a soy vanilla latte. I don't drink a lot of coffee, despite loving it, because it makes it hard for me to focus. I will drink juice on occasion (making sure to drink juice that isn't also sweetened), and, of course beer, wine, and the occasional cocktail.

    I'm pregnant, so I'm less concerned about drinking my calories than many people are on here. I limit my caffeinated beverages to one a day (this baby can't tolerate coffee, so one 12-oz Mountain Dew it is). Besides that, I'll usually have a 16oz glass of juice (usually white grape); at least one 16oz glass of milk; a breakfast smoothie each morning make with milk, frozen fruit, and vanilla yogurt; and I fill my large Bubba cup (34oz) with water in the morning and try to drink at least one of those in a day.

    I advocate strongly for balance. If you find that this lineup has too many liquid calories in it, cut back a little; have an 8oz glass of half-juice, half-water, for example. I can understand getting bored of water because I often do the same thing. That's why I don't mind adding in a few extra liquid calories; to me, getting proper fluid intake is much more important than trying to avoid a couple extra calories from fruit juices and such. When I was in the middle of morning sickness and the baby hated water, I would drink Kool Aide because he was so incredibly fond of fruit and fruit-flavored stuff.

    I buy a wild berry tea its non caffeinated and naturally sweet due to the fruit in it. With a squeeze of lemon it tastes similar to juice. I believe the brand is celestial

    I have one of those bottom-dispensing tea infusers and love mixing different things. I'll have a base of usually green tea or tulsi tea. But, depending on the day, I'll add in things like dried pomegranate ('anardana' at the Indian grocery), citrus peel, cardamom pods, cinnamon sticks, cacao nibs, chamomile...

    I like to drink Club Soda mixed with real fruit juice... if I'm going to have something "bubbly" :)
