Favorite Non-alcoholic beverage

The poll lists general categories.  Please post your specific preferences in a post here.  (i.e. Coke vs Pepsi vs Dr. Pepper)

I drink more Pepsi than I should, because we have it at work.  Generally I'm pretty agnostic between Coke and Pepsi - I used to prefer Coke but recently I find myself preferring Pepsi.  In either case, the version with sugar, as opposed to high fructose corn syrup, tastes a lot better.

I drink more plain old tap water than every other beverage combined, though.

Toilet water? Really? 

I don't drink soda at all, hate coffee, am not fond of tea when I found out it wasn't made from powder (about 10 or so) and I don't drink bottled water when I can get it cheaper out of the faucet.

So do I. After all, we are 80% water.

Glad to see you're paying attention.

I used to drink a lot of unsweet tea but after I tasted McDonald's sweet tea I've been addicted to sweet tea in general.  I also drink a lot of Pepsi but I don't drink that very often anymore because all the vending machines I've seen here at Virginia Tech are for Coke products.

Limeade and Sierra Mist is all you need.

While I've really cut down in my general soda consumption over the years, if I'm at a restaurant and not drinking beer, I usually go for the Root Beer.  Though if I have a chance to get a good Cream Soda I usually can't turn that down.  Two other honorable mentions are Orange Soda and Ginger Ale.

Pepsi is the best....I keep my fridge loaded with Pepsi at all times.  That's the beverage I consume when I am out.

Other ones I like are 7-UP, Dr. Pepper, Hi-C fruit punch, and Mountain Dew

I picked coffee, tea, and water.  However, I could have picked fruit juice as a fourth because I always drink orange juice after coffee or black tea to get rid of the halitosis both of those drinks cause.  (I learned this in Spain, where the standard breakfast at a bar in Madrid is churros, coffee, and freshly-squeezed orange juice.  OJ from concentrate is not as powerful a taste experience, but it is equally effective at killing breath odor.)  I have just one cup of coffee a day, usually fixed right after I wake up, and I try not to drink black tea after noon.  If I want something hot to drink later in the day, usually I choose mint tea.  I am also a fan of apple tea (a big thing in Turkey), but have not drunk it in years since the main ingredient--dried apple crumbs--is not that easy to find in the West.

I don't particularly care for soft drinks and tend to get them only when I am driving or when I have to get my money's worth out of a fast-food "value meal" combination.  Dr. Pepper is my poison of choice when I am not driving, but when I am, I tend to go for Sprite or Mountain Dew because they are less likely to stain seats if spilled.

On a volume basis, tap water wins by far.  I take seriously the business of remaining hydrated.

You can't beat tap water. I keep a gallon jug of it in the fridge at all times. Usually drink 1/4 of it a day these days, though in the summer, I'd often drink the whole thing in one day.

Who selected toilet water

My favourite is pineapple juice, followed closely by grapefruit juice. When I rent a car abroad I tend to find a convenience store and buy some bottled water.

Who selected toilet water

I was wondering the same thing! 

I'm, sadly, way too addicted to Mountain Mtn Dew for my own good. On a hot summer's day, though, there is nothing better than ice cold water (though I drink a lot more bottled water than tap water, mostly because the tap water here is disgusting)...

I drink a lot of milk, too...why is that not on the list?

Did a dog vote? 

[PAHighways]

I picked tap water, and soda since I didn't see a "pop" choice listed .

I cut back my soft drink intake about two years ago and cut out HFCS because I got to the point where I couldn't stand the syrupy taste anymore.  So when I buy pop now, I look for Jones Soda products or the new Sierra Mist Free.

I can probably narrow it down to two or three who would possibly vote toilet water, but it would be rude to call them out by name.

As far as non-alcohol goes, I'm either a coffee or cola (prefer Pepsi) person when I go out, but I've found that I've been drinking more water here at the office. I'll usually purchase bottled water for a co-worker and me, but I'll usually refill a bottle with tap water a few times so I can stretch each case I get.

I had, conveniently, forgotten about that affection from western PA into the Midwest.  But, "pop" is now listed along with soda.

There is also a Sierra Mist Natural that uses sugar.  Plus you have the Pepsi and Mountain Dew Throwback Editions when they are available.

Soda and lemonade are my favorites. I am a big fan of Coke (prefer it a lot over Pepsi) and Dr. Pepper. As for the worst drink I've ever had, it probably has to be the Moxie soda made in Maine  .

oddly, it wasn't me.

Two things...

Would iced tea be classified as tea or something else?
Soda is also called pop in Western New York State, particularly around Rochester and Buffalo.

Tea is tea.  Iced, warm, sweet, unsweet, herbal, etc.

Fixed.

[Hot Rod Hootenanny]

Devout Tea drinker. Juice (Orange, Apple, Lemon, Grapefruit, pineapple, strawberry) while I keep telling myself they're healthy. And I try to keep my soda intake to 2-3 cans a week.

[allniter89]

Pop for me thank you!   Coca Cola the last 10 yrs, Pepsi b4 then. Sweet Tea in a restaurant.
Winn Dixie Chex Vanilla Coke if I have my druthers . Occasional Root Beer, Vernors or Country Time lemonade or Kool Aid. My water source is a well at home....ewwwww!!!! I've never liked tap or bottled water, dunno Y?  
BTW, until a few years ago I referred to pop as "coke" or "soda" whatever the brand. After spending a few weeks with relatives in the Detroit area, I became fond of the pop label, I just like the way it sounds..."you wanna pop?" "may I have a pop please", "I gotta getta pop", "where's your pop please" POP, POP, POP. POP, POP, I luvs me some pop!! 

[agentsteel53]

I refer to it neither as "soda", nor "pop", nor as that strangely New England word choice of "tonic".  I tend to narrow it down by brand.

Being a third-shifter, having a caffeinated drink of choice is imperative. I do not like coffee or tea, so Mountain Dew is what I tend to drink most, which is reinforced by there being a dispenser of it in both the break room and every sector of my workplace (except Delta, oddly). I rarely drink plain water as it is too bland for my taste.
