    I really do not like coffee, but I will tolerate iced tea (can’t say I love it either). I don’t like soft drinks, so it’s pretty much iced tea or water for me if I go out.

      I love both but I grew up guzzling coffee during the day, then our grandparents would serve us orange pekoe tea with dinner to calm us down. This was after spiking our coffee with sugar cubes and condensed milk which is like liquid sugar. I’m amazed we ever slept. At least the caffeine kept us up through the sugar crashes.

      I use to drink a lot of pop/soda too. Root Beer was my choice. These days it’s usually water and mostly ice tea if it’s not water. In my parts tea is sweetened so it’s my adult pop but I try to avoid it. I’ve consumed enough sugar for several lifetimes already.
