What are some tasty drinks that aren't horrible for you?

I have an oral fixation, I can't stop drinking. I drink at least two gallons of water a day (I'm sure it'd be more if I actually measured). As a kid I drank shitloads of soda, but after a few cavities I stopped. Now I drink too much beer. Of course I like getting drunk, but a big part of it is that I enjoy the taste and having something tasty to chug. But alcohol is expensive and my health has gone to shit because of it, so it's about time I cut back. actually I should have stopped years ago before it made my life go to shit but better late than never

I'm sitting here with a hangover wondering if there is something tasty I can drink in mass quantities that isn't alcoholic, loaded with sugar, or milk (I'm lactose intolerant).

I got a seltzer bottle.

Yeah, it's slightly acidic, but you're basically looking at water with bubbles in it. Buying CO2 chargers in bulk online makes it relatively cheap (local boutique market sells chargers at $1 each; online can find for 50c each or less).

Now… the exotic part. You can make your own flavor syrups if you want (ginger syrup? drink ginger soda til burp.) A dash of lemon juice. Splash of seltzer with whisky.

Before you splurge on Sodastream (hint: Don't; it's not cheaper than premix), look at a seltzer bottle.

If you really are drinking metric buttloads of whatever and need something with flavor, look at a postmix system and juice syrups for it. Not sure if a gun or a pedestal makes more sense for you, but obviously if you get a carbonated postmix system, you'll be back to drinking soda by the gallon and catching the diabeetus and losing your teeth.

How about tea and black coffee? Zero calories and delicious.

Though tea does have fluoride so I don't think it'd be too good for you in gallons and the caffeine from coffee might affect how well you sleep, probably a few other bad things from drinking too much as well.

I can't really think of anything that you'll be able to drink gallons of everyday with any downsides other than water.

Maybe chrysanthemum and hibiscus tea. There's bound to be a few herbal teas that don't do much damage.

Even drinking too much water a day is bad for you.

Dilutes your electrolytes.

Yeah, coffee is a decent option. You know you drink too much coffee and not enough water when your pee smells like coffee.

>I have a oral fixation

Have you ever tried something like a… pacifier? Sounds weird but it really helps for some.

>>>/abdl/fag with (literal) autism here btw, I got one too a few months back and since then I completely stopped with nailbiting, a habit I couldn't quit.

I remembered almond milk today and I think I'm gonna go with that. It's tasty and I don't need to prepare anything.

I do drink tea and coffee but too much hurts my stomach and gives me caffeine jitters.

I suppose green and herbal teas wouldn't have that problem, but then they take a while to prepare. I do have a cup of chamomile to help wind down before I go to sleep though.

Rooibos doesn't have any tannins so you could just drop a couple of teabags into a thermos and fill it with boiling water and just have it throughout the day.

High quality chinese teas can literally sit in hot water for really long periods of time without getting bitter, relatively cheap too.

sometimes i blend strawberry's and cherry's and put most of it through a sieve and add in seltzer water. its better than soda. other than that i only drink beer, seltzer water with a lemon slice or coffee or unsweetened iced tea.

lemongrass, ginger, dried orange peel, star anise, cloves, cardamom pods, cinnamon and cracked pepper corns left to steep in hot water, plus half a teaspoon of honey in the mug. If you're missing a few of those, it's still great tasting.

Have you ever had a diabetes check up? People with sugar problems often drink tons to self-medicate. (I'm not medically trained, just sayin')

Be careful with herbal teas: they are very healthy but they have some downsides as well. Those are negligible most of the time, unless you take in gallons of the stuff every day, which you seem to do.

Good tea is highly underrated and overlooked.

Hell, even cheap tea can be good if you brew it properly.
