What is your beverage of choice?
Right now, I'm drinking some homemade ginger mint iced tea. I boil the ginger rhizome, add sugar, black tea (though green works too) and add the fresh mint at the last minute. Chill, then serve over ice.
Now, I'm also partial to soda. A Coke helps me relax too.
Pinot Grigio, and lots of it.
Having some right now.
Just had some Assam tea, brewed with tea leaves and boiling water, with half and half and raw sugar.
Coke Zero
Arnold Palmer
Just discovered the new raspberry lemonade Mountain Dew Zero. Good stuff. The grocery store was having a special on it yesterday, so I stocked up.
Pepsi Nitro Vanilla.
I'm on a diet to lose weight and discovered a brand of apple cider vinegar that I don't hate. I usually make a liter of water with 2-3 TBS vinegar, grate in some ginger, add lime and lemon juice, and I'm good to go. It's refreshing without needing to be sweet.
Bourbon, alas. And cheap bourbon at that.
Half a can of Canada Dry Lemonade Ginger Ale and half a can of beer. A shandy gaff if you want to be formal about it.
Just plain old water, and lots of it. Supplemented by a glass of juice several mornings a week and a glass of milk several evenings a week.
I drink bottled water at work and when traveling. I've mostly bottled it myself from the tap.

That is a crying shame. Schools should be offering us a daily ration of top shelf liquor like the old rum rations in the British navy.
My current favorite drink is IPA style beer.
The only things I drink regularly are room temp water, black coffee, and red wine, so I will go with the wine (shiraz, currently), although right now the coffee is hitting the spot. My husband has discovered the wonderful world of teas, but herbal teas seem to give me strange dreams.
Rose and grapefruit vodka. Cannabis seltzers. Good coffee from a French press.
I enjoy bourbon, wine, coke, and various cocktails, but I'm trying to to enjoy them too frequently.
Coffee, water, and herbal teas are daily drinks that I enjoy and require to function.

I cannot tell good bourbon from bad. The "good" ones tend to run 100 proof or so. All I get from that is a scorch from the alcohol. I'm good with Jim Beam and other such peasant bourbons in the $18-$20 range. I'll leave it to the rest of you to continue your search for an elusive bottle of Pappy Van Winkle.
Hot tea, mostly.
A tiny bit of polar soda if my tummy's upset, but otherwise, water and tea.

What I drink the most of: black coffee, unsweetened iced tea, and water.
But favorite beverage, my actual beverage of choice if available?
nonalcoholic: (extra) sweet tea
alcoholic: New Glarus Belgian Red, which I cannot get very often around here.
no calories: Gerolsteiner (carbonated mineral water from Germany)
a few calories (cold and low-caf): iced green tea with a splash of Torani Peach syrup
a few calories (hot and high-caffeinated): New Orleans French Roast (from Fresh Market) with a splash of skim milk...
"Evan Williams," cheap enough as it's reasonably flavored alcohol that whispers "bourbon" and then addles the mind. Up the creek without an addle? Never.
