I tried the search function to see if there was a thread made about this topic already. Couldn't really find any, unless I'm not doing a good enough job searching.
What do you like to drink? It could be anything. If you have any great recipes, share them if you want.

Personally, after a long day from work and/or school, I like to mellow out with a little bit of cognac VSOP.

I also like soy milk for some odd reason. I'm not lactose intolerant or anything, but I prefer soy milk over regular milk.

And being a guy from Baltimore, I love that 'half n half'. (No not the stuff you put in coffee). It's iced tea and lemonade mixed together. I know it's been out for a while, but it's huge in certain parts of B-more.

approximately from most to least

water (by far the highest ratio)
cold or hot tea (preferably English breakfast)
coffee (i take it like the wolf, lotsa cream, lotsa sugar)
v-8 (reg or spicy)
fruit juice (grape or mixed berry mostly, natural/organic as much as possible)
lemonade (mixed by hand - water, lemon juice and sugar)

almost never drink soda.
pretty much never drink alcohol (maybe red wine once or twice a year, if that).

Dr. Pepper is by far my favorite drink. It makes the world taste better.

My top 3 favorite beers:

Guinness
Stella Artois
Heineken

Not neccesarily in that order.. This week I'm in a Stella mood, as the last few times I bought Heineken.. i bought a 12-pack of it today, it's so d@mn tasty! So looks like next time will be Guinness..

For hard liqour, I like Teacher's or Ballentine's scotch on the rocks

Non-alcoholic bev's include coffee (half of a cream, usually "Carnation milk" if any one knows what that is, and 2 sugars), tea (Green/Earl Grey/English Breakfast), Cherry Coke and Sprite.

I also love RedRave, it's an energy drink like Red Bull.. There's also the one called "Red Rain" which is basically the exact same thing as Red Rave but different name. I love the taste of it.

There's nothing like slamming 2-3 cans down and going out for a rip on the skateboard.

1. water (about 1g a day; good for the kidney!)

2. iced tea (unsweetened) when we eat out

3. hot chocolate when I'm cold

That accounts for 99% of my liquid intake. I probably have a soft drink 1-2 times per month and a beer 1-2 times per year. I used to drink beer about as much as I drink water now :) but to be honest I don't really miss it.

Water and wine. A little bit of milk and tea thrown in.

For wines:
Mostly white wines, Riesling and Chardonney. I enjoy Cabernet Sauvignon and a few others for reds. Merlot is absolutely disgusting unless it is of higher quality. Honestly, I have been getting into wines only recently.

When I do drink tea (seldom), it is usually green or herbal.

I drink a LOT of water. I do not like sugary things (I gave up pop -soda for everyone else- long ago, although not on purpose. I just stopped liking it). As a matter of fact, I do not like candy either. Plus I don't like chocolate (the taste, not the sugar).

...so yeah, I am a pretty boring person when it comes to drinks.

Espresso.

Diet Sodas.

Vodka. I drink any white spirit but try to stay away from the dark ones except for Southern Comfort (my weakness).

I've never been to the US but family members tell me you guys drink a lot of iced tea.
