I did a search, couldn't find any threads, so here I am posting one.
Tell us about your relationship with non-alcoholic beverages.
Favourite
: Iced coffee. Here in Australia, we have a gaurana iced coffee marketed by a NZ company, which I used to drink like water. Problem is, iced coffee makes you fat.
Habitual
: Diet Coke. I switched to this a month or so ago, and it's been part of the reason I've reversed my weight-gaining trend from the last 2 years. On the rare occasions that I drink now, I even mix my spirits with Diet Coke.
Sometimes I drink coffee. Dark coffee with low-fat milk and no sugar. Usually late at night if I'm trying to stay up. If I'm out and about, I'll usually grab Sugarfree Red Bull or gaurana iced coffee instead.

I drink way too much diet coke. I'm an insomniac, so most days I'm functioning on 4-5 hours of sleep, and some as little as 2-3, and the caffeine helps me get going. I'm not a huge fan of coffee unless it has loads of sweet stuff in it, and I want to avoid extra sugar from drinks, so I usually end up with diet coke.
I also really like Mango juice- whenever I'm sick I stock up on that instead of orange juice.
Favorite ever- Virgin Strawberry Daiquiri.

Diet Coke is better. I wouldn't expect anything less from you, Justin.

I personally prefer Diet to Zero, but there's not much in it. Regular makes me feel yuck. Regular Vanilla is better than Diet Vanilla though.

I think diet is better than regular soda, too. I always feel like there is this tangible film of sugar on my teeth after I drink regular soda. Zero is ok, but I think it's designed for people who want less sugar but a closer taste to sugar. Since I don't miss the sugar, I don't think I'm their target audience.

Water is my main, couldn't live without it.
But if I'm feeling super indulgent:
3 scoops icecream
a little milk
2-3 oreos
coffee
(sometimes Baileys)
blended.

Coke Zero is probably my habitual drink, although I drink Yorkshire Gold tea quite a bit as well. Put that in a tea pot with enough tea bags in it and the last gulp has as much of a kick as alcohol though, so I don't know if that counts.
I tend to go through juice like a fiend in the summer.

Water. The vast majority of the time I drink water. I love the taste of filtered tap-water, and NYC tap water is good too. Certain bottled brands taste better than others, but I try to stay away from bottled water.
My favorite would probably be Mango Juice.

I can't stand diet coke.
Honestly, I drink a lot of water, and when I drink other stuff I usually mix Dr. Pepper/Coke/Barq's Root Beer.
Or any kind of Mountain Dew.

Starbucks Doubleshot Energy Drinks.....with my own little twist.
For those that haven't seen what I am talking about, its pretty much an Iced Coffee flavored Red Bull type energy drink. What I like to do, is "personalize" it a little bit.
I take 1 Mocha flavored can, 1 of the Expresso double caffiene "shot" style drinks, and about 1/2 a cup of regular coffee and mix in a 44oz cup with plenty of ice. What I end up with is pretty much "Iced Methamphetamine" :-) One of these babies in the morning on the way to work, and I am pretty much set for the day.

You guys seriously drink much coke if you can taste the difference between diet and zero O.o
To me it tastes the exact same.
