What are you drinking today?

Excellent. I enjoy a thirst quenching, ice cold glass of spring water myself. Right now, I was dragging a bit so I am currently sipping on a Mountain Dew KickStart in Fruit Punch. Not too bad for being a contrived caffeine+B+C vitamins energy swill in the vein of “fruit punch”.

What fruits you might ask? I can’t figure that out exactly, however it is a whole 5% of that mystery fruit juice blend.

The illusion of real food runs deep with this beverage lol.

When I get home I’ll probably have a nice Radler. I have a few left over from camping last weekend.
 
I had a tall 20oz of draft Samuel Adams Oktoberfest and it was delicious. A little more pine than I recall from previous years but still very nice. I enjoyed it all :)
 
Diamond Brew!

Which, for me, is a very decent cup of instant coffee because they have literally done a very hard thing. And that is to remove the acidity that you find in just about every cup of instant coffee brand/brew out there.

Diamond Brew is nothing special as far as taste is concerned, but the fact that there is no acidity makes it my brand of choice for instant. I will take average taste over acidity any time.

I am going to have to give that brand a go. I have not tried there instant before.

Since it is pizza Friday and I have talked a big game about Pineapple soda ie: crush, Jarritos, Fanta etc. , I located and picked up a 12 pack of Pineapple Fanta while picking up a few kid approved pies from our local pizza shop and that is what we are currently drinking. Oldest agrees stating that pineapple soda is epic although middle kiddo has not made up his mind if Pineapple is better than strawberry Fanta lol.

It's a bit expensive, but they give you a bunch of it. And since I don't drink instant a lot, it's lasted a fair while now.

But don't expect fantastic tasting. The selling point here is the lack of acidity. Just when you think the acid is going to kick in - it's not there. Absolutely amazing they managed to engineer it out.

Squirt. And Cactus Cooler. Cactus Cooler, particularly on a hot day.
 
Water, preferably with ice but plain is ok. 31 degrees here and while it has dropped from what it was mid-week it's still hot.

Just put my little-est down for a nap while helping my middle and oldest put their cardboard Mando armor on with their preferred assortment of nerf-armament (Weapons are a part of their religion after all) for some make-believe fun, I've been drinking coffee all morning.

The couch and recliner have become their starship.
 
Sparkling mineral water (Pellegrino), and earlier, a large glass of freshly squeezed grapefruit juice, and some seriously good coffee.

Now, a beer, from Bavaria, in Germany.
 
Started with coffee this morning but today is hot hot hot, so have been sucking down water as Ive been outside fixing the kids slipping bike chains.
 
Water - preferable, 2,5L - 3,5 L/day
The morning espresso - Iced or Hot, depending?

Clear Pea-Protein mixed into water - with Ice, very thirst quenching - especially in summers - and tastes great.
The formula gets higher in protein as the evolving goes on.
Per 100g: 380 kcal, Protein 63g, Fat: 6,3g, Carb 17g, Salt 3,7g etc
I mix approx. 150g with water /day

I chopped off some deadwood off a big, old Russian olive tree and in doing so got cooked by the midday sun, so aside from generous applications of aloe Vera, I literally drank probably 1.5-2 gallons of ice water today. The sun just sucks the moisture out of you and by 1pm, I was thoroughly dehydrated.
 
Coffee and squirt ... and some water. Mowed the back yard lawn before the sun came up over the house. Still, I was sweaty AF, so took the opportunity to shower and shave my head and trim my beard. My wife is not a fan of the mountain man aesthetic. Well, it was more of a directive from her as she protested that I was sweaty and gross and that I was dripping sweat everywhere. A big YUCK and she shooed me away to the bathroom lol.

Annnnyhow. I did get some water in and made my wife a quick breakfast (egg and bacon breakfast biscuit smothered in green Chile sauce - yes eaten with a fork) between her meetings (working remote today) and am now sucking down some poorly named but quite delicious "Squirt". Just started the second pot of coffee, First 12 cups are gone :D

I have a soft spot for all the citrus flavored sodies ie: Mountain Dew, MelloYello, Squirt, Orange Fanta/Crush, Sprite, 7up etc.

Earlier, sparkling water, freshly squeezed citrus juice, (a blend of lemon, orange, and grapefruit), and Ethiopian coffee.

This evening, a few beers from the legendary German (Bavarian) brewery, Weihenstephaner.
