I like to drink water with all my meals, except breakfast. Then I like juice, and coffee. What about you?

My health buff friends also advise me to take water instead of colas. I drink milk in the morning. But I am not a coffee drinker since I could not sleep at night if I drink coffee. Thanks for responding!

when im eating my meals outside i always make my drinks to be softdrinks only because now a days in our country it is much safer to drink cola's rather than water because some fastfood dont use mineral water..

I drink water with most of my meals. Its the healthy choice. I do drink fruit juices, not fruit flavored juices but actual juices. But as far as water goes, your body needs a lot of it daily, far more than most people drink. I think that if people drank more water they might eat less and not gain as much weight. You should drink several 8 ounce glasses a day and almost no one does.

I also drink water for most of my meals especially if I am just eating at home. I also drink juice from the concentrate or 100% fruit juice from the grocery. I try my best to drink a lot of liquids especially water because its good for the body for cleansing.

I also prefer water than drinking sodas. They even say that we should consume at least eight to ten glasses of water everyday, so I try to do that.

Water is prepared. Coke is empty and juice has too many carbs.

Did you mean that you prefer water than juice or softdrink? I had a hard time understanding the thought of your response.

I prefer Mello Yello, which is a Coke product. For those who don't know about this drink, it's a lot like Mountain Dew. Only Dew is sweet and Mello is a bit more citric. When I lived in California I couldn't get it! I had to have my mom send it to me every so often.

We don't have Mello Yello here in our country. But I think it is still a carbonated softdrink. I refrained or try to refrain myself as much as possible because it is not good for the body. I do indulge myself sometimes though when I eat out.

That depends on what I am feeling like I want to drink. I usually drink juice for breakfast and water for most meals but sometimes I will drink a coke.

I usually drink water too for my meals, but sometimes I have to admit I also drink soda. But I try not to, instead I would go for juice since it is much more healthier.

my involvement with mylot has made me more concerned about the dangers of drinking coke and artificially-flavored fruit juices. now, i prefer to drink water or tea, instead, even at functions and parties.

I used to prefer drinking juice or softdrinks before. But when I read a lot of things on the benefits for the body by drinking water instead of other drinks, I slowly cut down my intake of softdrinks and began drinking water or other healthier substitutes such as tea,juice or milk. I think you should try it too. Have a nice day!

As for me, I usually drink milk in the morning or at night when I cannot sleep. They say that drinking milk at night helps you to go to sleep. I don't know if it is true or not but I do it anyway.

Drink pure Water. Water is the Elixir of Life. Coke is a Chemical Concoction that does not do you any good. It infact harms your body. It induces your system to drink more and more of it by acting as a diuretic and there by emptying your pocket. Don't take drinking Cola as a status symbol. You must drink a lot of water, about 10 glasses of it, daily. It is important to drink two glasses of water as the first thing after you rise in the morning. In a Sanskrit Text it is said that "Ushapanam Amritopamam". That drinking water first in the morning is like taking Elixir" Pure water is that much important to our body. Don't punish our body by taking this coke etc. Be kind to your body for it is the vehicle that carries you great soul. Will you give petrol as fuel to your diesel car? No. It will not run then. That is the case with our body. Do give it what it needs. WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY AND WONDROUS NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know that coke is not good for the body that's why I seldom indulge myself in carbonated drinks. But I don't know if I can actually consume ten glasses as you would advise. I try my best to drink a lot of water whenever I can. I wish you too and your family a happy and prosperous new year!

I also refrain from drinking carbonated drinks like you. Water is really much better for the body so I try as much as I can to drink lots of it. Coconut water is also said to be good for the body. When I go to the market I buy coconut and my mom and I love to drink the water and eat coconut milk.

I drink water any time. Coke is not my kind of drink. Juice is ok with me but I am watching my weight. So I wouldn't like to drink juices now a days due to sugars in them. So water is the winner.
