I've started trying different coding drinks and currently I have a tea thing going.
I'm addicted to Earl Grey and this Vanilla Chai tea.
What do other people drink? Any advice?
rosehip
When I code at work ... Coffee and Water.
When I code at home ... Beer ;-)
I love ginger and lemon tea. Sometimes I buy herbal ginger and lemon teabags, sometimes I will make a pot of regular tea and slice some fresh ginger into it. I tried the latter in Indonesia many years ago and I really think it works well.
Not sure if you get Twinings tea in the USA, but they do a lovely spiced Indian chai which has cinnamon (and I think cloves) in it. That's really nice too. Can't go wrong with Earl Grey. Lady Grey is nice if you can find it. It's like Earl Grey with a slight citrus flavour.
I sometimes drink tea, though I have no preference as to which variety. I steer clear of that "fruit" tea, which smells like fruit, but tastes like hot water.
More often, I just drink tap water, but if I'm partying, I'll switch to shandy, lager, or hard cider.
I've never tried coffee - the smell puts me off.

Hmm most people like the smell. If you don't like the smell then there is little left to like in my opinion.
Coffee is a bitter aromatic drink. The smell being breathed out of your nose while tasting is half the pleasure.
That said, how can a programmer not like coffee? The caffeine I.V. drip is a staple in most IT jobs isn't it?
I'm a big fan of water, the most underrated drink in history! I fill up bottles with water and put them in the minibar in our living room, where I work most of the time. Friends I live with have now developed the same habit. We now got the luminous idea of scoring one of them water coolers! :)
I also blend a lot of smoothies, banana's or frozen strawberries with milk, definitely my recommendation!
As for soda pop, we're big fans of fernandes, pink mostly.
Gallons of ASDA tea more so when I am stuck on a program. :cheers:
Im a true Tea Addict! I probably drink too much of the stuff for my own good. And in my opinion there's nothing quiet like PG, it's the taste! I once auditioned for a role as one of the chimps. Not true, I couldn't resist it! And I do think Chimps Rock!

The other three members of my team drink coffee all day long, but I've never been into caffeine. I don't like the smell of Red Bull either. I'm not sure if it's the caffeine I can smell, or if it's just those drinks.
I used to like cola as a child, but I'm more of a lemonade drinker these days.
Maybe this is why I'm not doing so well in the competitions ;)
TEA ... LEMONADE ... WATER ...
C'mon all ... :whack:
...are all those days where I read "...only beer makes it possible...." in intros/demos gone? ;)
Nope. I still do it that way as stated in another thread. (http://smilies-world.de/inc/module/smilies/pictures/kastenbier.gif)
I've always considerd myself a Cappaccino sort of guy.
And bring back Vanilla Coke!!
H2O is basically what I drink at all times of the day.

As far as I know it is still available here in Montana. In my town at least.
Red Wine and Beer all the way for me..
Coffee in work to help me stay awake when surfing the internet.
Pixel Outlaw, don't come to Britian they don't sell the Vanilla Variety. :(
The closest I suppose is Dr. Pepper.
It might not be proper coke, but I've seen "Diet Coke with Citrus" (lemon & lime) for sale near me.
