A friend sent me this yesterday on a group text and it was a really good thread of conversation. I asked in my house too and some of the answers surprised me.

I chose water, black coffee, seltzer, unsweetened iced tea, and peppermint hot tea.
I felt under duress with the last two but I really couldn't come up with something that I wanted at my disposal all the time.

Oh fun!
I’m thinking water, whole milk, black coffee, hot water & apple syrup (to make apple lemonade for the kids).
I was seriously considering adding Sauvignon blanc, but these are the liquids we use most.
ETA I realised outside the black coffee mine is centred towards what is convenient with the kids 🤦🏼♀️.

I thought about making the pinky a margarita or an already mixed gin and tonic for the moments I so rarely want one, but caffeine always wins out.

ice cold water, hot coffee with the exact amount of milk and sugar I like, vodka sprites, italian red wine, and diet coke. My kids drink nothing but water so it was east to only focus on me I had trouble with the 5th one. I rarely drink diet coke anymore, but I do enjoy it on occassion.

Mine would be Stabucks vanilla sweet cream cold brew....although maybe I should just go with black cold brew that way I can add flavors at my will, water, coke zero, milk for the random days I want a bowl of cereal, and sweet lemon tea

The visual of this in my mind is creeping me out. Ice water, kiwi strawberry flavored water, NF chai tea latte, almond milk, and sweet lemon tea (I feel you on that klong).

Charlie chose water three times bc after pear juice (which he drinks for poop issues), he could only really half agree to apple cider as another alternative.

He had half a juicebox at a party this weekend and I was so excited! I would give him pear juice or really anything -you can hide so much more crap in juice than in water! But that was literally the first time he had juice in like 2 years. And S decided about 6 months ago he hates all juice except the occasional orange juice. He likes lemonade though Neither kid drinks milk. I have weird kids.

My kid would drink milk all day every day if we’d let him. He needs the calories, hence the apple syrup (you dilute this with water). They also love apple cider, but that is a ‘treat’ drink.

I wish my kids didn't drink milk. M doesn't, but C does. I never buy it. I have the boxed almond milk from Costco on hand when I want some for cereal or for baking. MH is very "households/kids need milk" so he buys it. Really he just won't give it up even though he was previously drinking it in such high volumes he gave himself some serious GI issues. Ew.

I laugh at MH because he's totally bought into the dairy farmer's propaganda that was debunked a long time ago that kids need milk in their diet. Yes, my kids eat plenty of cheese and yogurt too. They're good MH, I promise.

Oh gosh this is my mom. It’s like she takes it personal that her grandkids don’t drink milk in the mornings. Like hello, mom, I, your kid- never drank milk. Did you forget?? I use it for cereal and such, but I never just straight up drank milk. I just roll me eyes and tell her that cow’s milk is not essential to a balanced diet. She doesn’t believe me, but I find it amusing that she takes such offense to kids not drinking milk. ETA: yep- all government propaganda she bought into and now she swears it’s the key to health in kids. No mom. Just no.

Despite the fact that he literally drank so much milk a couple months back that he made himself very ill, he's still convinced it's a necessary part of people's diet. And for a while there he was convinced it had to be whole milk. Might as well just drink creamer. He apparently hasn't noticed I've survived just fine without milk. He looked at me like I was crazy when I said there are plenty of fruits and vegetables that are a good source of calcium.
