In the a.m., early morning before the brood starts moving: black coffee.

In the p.m., caffeine free diet pepsi (or I'll be up all night)

When I play on days I'm scheduled to working, some type of sodi pop or iced tea. On days off from work i'll usually have a couple of beers or maybe a 'rita or two.

Tonic water mixed with fruit juice. Keeps that malaria away.

I never drink alcohol at home (except when there is some sort of party or banquet); which doesn't mean I don't drink like a cossack in bars, pubs [:D]: fresh water for me, thank you.

In the morning, extra bold French roast which is one step from Gili Gili mud, at night I will often have a bit of juniper berry nectar with the aforementioned anti-malarial preparation.

As a special treat I will sometimes make myself a Darwin Anitpersonnel Bomb. Creme de Menthe really has no business in any cocktail, but the bubbles are cool.

PS..on hot days I will have Tejava or diet citrus green tea.

In the morning either an espresso or turkish ground, fresh french roasted coffee. During the day, diet coke or diet ginger ale. After 5 and before dinner it is gin or vodka on the rocks with a twist of lime and after 8 it is Bowmore single malt.

I usually play only at night so most of the time it's beer, excellent bavarian wheat beer 

But thegreatwent is right you gotta take care of malaria, so maybe a gin tonic tonight...

Mornings it's that great Brazilian coffee, black.

Afternoons and/or evenings it'll be beer, scotch, vodka, soda or water depending on something or other.

It seems that I'm with the majority: Black Coffee while wife and children are still asleep in the Morning or plain Water or whatever juice is the kids left me at night when the troops are asleep and my wife is studying.

Diet Pepsi most nights. Occasionally some local brewed beer - there is this red beer at Rock Bottom Brewery (here in Denver) and it is very yummy - and a growler is only like 8 bucks or so.
