How much do you drink in a day?


How many “cups” of coffee –
-Cha Cha says Roughly 50% of Americans drink it, and among them they average 3 cups per day.
Tea?

How many ounces of soda/pop -
-Cha Cha says about 5oz per day is Americas average. (low?)

How many 8oz “glasses” of water
-All I could find is 1 in 10 americans drink no water at all.

If you like.. how many and what type of alcohol

I'm in the 50% that doesn't drink it.

quote Originally posted by 2.5: How many ounces of soda/pop - -Cha Cha says about 5oz per day is Americas average. (low?)

I'd agree with that being low. I'm anywhere from 20oz to 60oz.

Probably one to five.

Probably either two to four beers or one to three mixed drinks (typically rum & coke or OJ & vodka)

I'm probably on the right pace for that, although I'm drinking whole milk, and I bet that isn't the majority.

Coffee = 1 cup a day. Occasionally more depending on social interaction, but 1 is a good average since there are some days I drink none.

Soda = Not very often. 2-3 times a month maybe. I always drink tea if available. I usually only drink soda if that's all that is offered.

Water = Very rare. Usually only with a cup of coffee if I am at a restraunt or occasionally with dinner if I don't want to pay $2.50 for a tea.

Alcohol = Rarer than water. Wine for certain celebration, and I drank a few wine coolers this summer, but not much. "I don't always drink, but when I do, I beat my wife and kids savagely! Stay thirsty my friends."

Milk = this would be my beverage of choice, if I could afford it. I love milk!

I am also in the other 50%. Two to three cups of tea.

quote How many ounces of soda/pop - -Cha Cha says about 5oz per day is Americas average. (low?)

Unless I can find Mountain Dew Throwback, zero. If I find it, the 20oz that I've purchased.

quote How many 8oz “glasses” of water -All I could find is 1 in 10 americans drink no water at all.

This also varies. If there's nothing else to drink. Iced tea is my beverage of choice. Been consuming mass quantities of Gold Peak Sweet Tea or Green Tea. Used to be AriZona, but I'm trying to distance myself from HFCS.

Then I've been skewing the curve, and you drink a lot more. I haven't had alcohol in years. I'm usually my wife's DD.

quote Other? Cha Cha says the average American drinks 25 gallons of milk per year

See above. Gold Peak tea. Occasionally chocolate milk, other than the milk in my breakfast cereal.

0 cups of coffee,
A couple of sodas a week. I don't know ounces.
At least 5 glasses of water a day, usually around 10... I drink a lot of water.
On average probably 3 beers a day. No mixed drinks, though I bought some moonshine the other day and I'm bullying my way through that. No wine either... just not a fan.
Milk.... WAY more than 25 gallons of milk a year. I usually drink a gallon of 2% a week and a half gallon of chocolate milk a week.

I'll have one or two sodas a day. I mostly drink water and some OJ or fruit juice.

I'll screw up your poll with figures from a Canadian.

quote Originally posted by 2.5: How many “cups” of coffee –

Usually one a day (in the morning), but that can vary due to social settings.

quote Originally posted by 2.5: How many ounces of soda/pop

None. With the continued high consumption of sweet poison like Coca-Cola, America will eventually become a country of diabetics.

quote Originally posted by 2.5: How many 8oz “glasses” of water

Always at least one, but it's a seasonal thing. During hot weather, I can be drinking water all day. When it's wet and cold, just one large glass of water (with my vitamins).

quote Originally posted by 2.5: If you like.. how many and what type of alcohol

Anne and I will usually drink wine with dinner on the weekends. We'll split a bottle between the two of us when we do have wine (although I probably get more of the bottle than her). Beer is something I enjoy (one or two) in hot weather after doing something like mowing the lawn. Long gone are the days when I'd go with the "boys" to a beer parlour and drink a dozen beer in the evening. That was 30 years ago and I'd feel like crap if I tried that now.

quote Originally posted by 2.5: Other?

Although I don't totally avoid milk products (I love cheese), I don't buy cow juice anymore. Instead, I buy vanilla flavored Rice Dream to use on my cereal and in my coffee. Two litres (half gallon) will last me a week and a half.

I don't drink coffee, it makes my stomach upset whenever i do.. I drink 4 20oz soft drinks a week. I dont drink alcohol at all.. And i usually drink water.. And the occasional Redbull if im having a sleepy day.

Some weeks a glass or 2 of juice every day.. other weeks, none.

I don't drink alcohol, quit on my 21st birthday. (It's a long story, don't ask.)
Coffee, if it's available, I'll drink it by the pot full. Coffee must be able to stand up on it's own, if it can't, it's too weak.
Water, that's the stuff used to make coffee, right?
Milk? Cow and goat milk is for calves, kids and small children. Real men drink Moose milk. Yeah, I'm still working on milking a moose.
Pop or as some may call it soda? Gotta be thirsty buy I won't deny drinking it just not routinely.

How about milk from a Billy goat?

Like Patrick, us fellow Canucks will drive up the numbers.

4 cups of coffee on weekdays, two on weekend days.

12 to 18 beer per week, (and our beer has some oomph)
And a good crock of Lemon Hart Demerera Rum from Guyana, with a minute splash of Cola.
Try not to drink too much soda, and drink lots of water to flush all this bad stuff out.

Red wine frequently (good for the heart) and a few Ceasars for variety.

Coffee – 7 - 8oz cups of ½ the caffeine.

Soda – none

Water – 8 -16oz bottles

Alcohol – none

Milk – none – I use un-sweet almond milk

quote Originally posted by 2.5: How much do you drink in a day? How many “cups” of coffee – -Cha Cha says Roughly 50% of Americans drink it, and among them they average 3 cups per day.

I'll drink @ least 12 cups before the sun comes up.

quote How many ounces of soda/pop - -Cha Cha says about 5oz per day is Americas average. (low?)

on avg--12 oz sounds right

quote How many 8oz “glasses” of water -All I could find is 1 in 10 americans drink no water at all

Just plain water--in a glass?? WTF for? I know what fish do in it.

quote Other? Cha Cha says the average American drinks 25 gallons of milk per year

I Rarely drink alcohol, but if watchin' a game(1-4 beers over the course of the event) or some BBQ-y fuinction , I'll have 1 or 2. Don't really ever touch 'the hard stuff'.

Every now and then, I'll remember I should drink water, and will drink a cup.

I'll drink a glass of milk every now and then(especially if there is a cookie or two involved)

And that's all I have to say about tha-t...

No coffee for me (I'm still too young to drink it! )

1 16 oz MT Dew in the morning ( my caffeine intake for the day)

I take a gallon size cooler when I work and can go through 2 in an 8 hour shift
otherwise probably 5 or 6 glasses a day when I'm not working

I haven't drank alcohol since I left college in 1983. Never really acquired the taste for it

If I have juice in the house, I'll indulge in a few glasses in the evening.

Coffee – 0

Soda – 40oz.

Water – 16oz bottles

Alcohol – 0

Milk/Juice – 0
