ringsandcoffeeHave you hydrated appropriately?
Nope. I bring a can of fizzy water to work daily, which I pour into my tumbler filled with ice. I usually only drink half of it, in addition to the iced coffee I also bring. At home, I'l usually have another can or some water spiked with cranberry juice.
What are your feelings on fizzy water (LaCroix and similar)?
About 2 years ago, I tried to find a soda substitute. I tried a few things before someone suggested La Croix. Now, I love the stuff. I love the carbonation more than the taste of soda. I've tried many brands, and usually get whatever's on sale. It amuses me that my dad used to drink bottles of plain Crystal Geyser sparkling mineral water by the Costco case, and I thought it tasted awful. Even the fruit "flavored" ones were bad. Oh how age changes us.
Is there a particular holiday-associated beverage you like?
Not really. I like some of the seasonal flavors Starbucks offers.
Do you have a fancy coffee or tea order? (possibly only for special occasions?)
nope.
Do you only drink hot beverages when it is cold outside? Why or why not?
Pretty much, because it's only "cold" for about a month here. Even then, it's a rare thing for me to get a hot drink. I had hot tea a few times this week however.
