Friday Night GTKY: Whatcha drinkin'?!

ForwardnBackward

Whatcha drinking tonight?

And GTKY: What is your go-to drink, alcoholic or otherwise?

ForwardnBackward

I am a craft beer drinker...  my faves are IPAs.

asickles98

Diet Coke or Pibb Extra.  Gave up Diet Coke for lent.  Only found one wine that I like so normally a glass of that when I drink alcohol.

Boobopgirl

Coffee!!!

ksf13

Tonight? Probably water or chocolate milk lol. My go to/favorite is Dr. Pepper.

Myelhsa

My drank of choice is an extra dirty martini, up, with a 3 olive garnish. Bartender gets bonus points if he shakes it and gets little ice chips in it.

But right now, good ol' fashion H2O!

shan24

Alcoholic drink?  Rye and ginger. 

My right now drink?  Lemonade. 

smartin90-2

Got a trusty can of ginger ale handy on this crazy Friday night!

beezeee

V8 for me tonight!!!

i love bloodies. And beer. And wine. And all the drinks.

nbcarlson

I rarely drink even when not pg but go with a vodka cranberry when I do. 

Lately I've been going with a lot of ice water or lemonade. 

mrs_fogue

Gah!  Such a tease!  Water is in the glass tonight although a glass of Chardonnay sounds amazing.  

purplestarz

Right now just some water with some berry flavored Mio in it...

My go to is red wine. Any red wine, really. 

canonmom413

When I'm not pregnant I'm a craft brew kinda girl. I also dig an occasional summer moscato too. Coffee addict here, too. 

Lately, it's been La Croix. Infused water is a fave too. Lemon, mint, and cucumber is my favorite combo. 

yasandson

I wish i was having a red wine sangria lol. 

For now im just looovin milk lol. 

flowerintherain

Ohh when I'm not pregnant I love a good bloody mary or margarita on the rocks. But for now, I stick to lemonade. 

keiraanne

Red wine and prosecco are my standard go-tos for a Friday night.

I'm also a sucker for kombucha and fresh-squeezed orange juice. Mr. Pibb and Sierra Mist are my (rare) guilty pleasures. 

natleilynn

Tonight? Water. I make decaf sweet tea as an alternative though. And with all the puking, I've been putting in some Powerade.

Not knocked up? I swear I'm not an alcoholic, but there's no alcoholic beverage I've tried that I did not like with the exception of one random beer that tasted like sour cream & onion. Everyone at my table tried it as well and nobody could stomach it. First and only time I've ever wasted a drink. I enjoy all types of wine (reds are my favorite, especially malbecs). I love all types of beer from PBR to crafts to IPA's. I'm one of the few in my group that can still down tequila without bringing back bad memories of nights in college. Put a whiskey sour in front of me and I'm good to go.

I mean, it's not like I drank every night before I was pregnant. But you can really put virtually any drink in front of me and I'll drink it without an issue. I won't pound it (I'm TERRIBLE at shots). But I can appreciate and enjoy any alcoholic beverage. I was quite an asset for DH to have as a girlfriend in college. Definitely the most low maintenance girl we hung out with, drinking-wise.

@beezeemarie you are my bumpie drinking buddy.

@asickles98 I gave up alcohol for Lent.  It was appropriate and also kept questions in a social setting to ao minimum

ChocolateIsLife

Oh man, I had a tasty carbonated soda with berries and mint at Olive Garden today. My go to adult beverage is either cabernet sauvignon or cranberry vodka with a splash of sprite. Noms

JNAthanassious

Wine!! Especially on a Friday! 

However, these days, this lady is drinking lemonade. Sometimes I'll add sparkling water to feel like I'm enjoying a real life big girl drink.

sjohns908

@ChocolateIsLife that's so funny, my mom got that drink at OG today for lunch, but without the mint. She said it was ok but not worth $3 lol

I'm not a huge drinker, but I'll have a Margarita when DH and I go out to dinner on date nights. If we go to the casino, I get myself a amaretto sour. Tasty.

But tonight, it's water and maybe a sprite when I make my popcorn and settle in to watch last night's Scandal

ChocolateIsLife

@sjohns08 ya know, I think if I wasn't pregnant I probably would not be so impressed with it either, so I agree with your mom. It was so lightly sweetened by the fruit that it was not that flavorful, but it felt so refreshing because my stomach is always sour pretty much. Amaretto sour, I forgot how tasty those are! There is a margarita at Olive Garden that puts amaretto on top of it, and has sugar as the rim of the glass, and it is just the best.

sjohns908

@ChocolateIsLife shut the front door! My two favorites in one glass... dammit! My normally non-drinker self now wants a drink 

jaxx723

Ice water.  I had some lemonade cucumber mint tea earlier that was delicious.

Crystal7perry

Just water for me. Always water. I'm so vanilla. 

That's not to say I don't engage in some alcoholic bevies when not pregnant. I do, I jail don't have a go to. I need to find a favourite.

@Myelhsa this was my drink of choice for years! It's refreshing without letting you forget your drinking booze. 

After DS I haven't been able to hold my alcohol as well, so switched from dirty martinies to gin and tonics with lime. Keeping it savoury. 

Designmamauk

Also, for you craft beer drinkers if you can get your hands on some Brew Dog Nanny State it is delicious and alcohol free. It's really hoppy and the best non-alcoholic beer I've had yet!

Oh my thank you for the rec!

curlyq423

I'm simple. Titos vodka and Sprite. Also love getting a mojito when we eat out. Haven't mastered making them at home. 

But it now mostly water. I had a small glass of coke last night, talk about a wild night!

emwj10187

Alcoholic: i love me a refreshing Tito's vodka & diet tonic with a lime squeeze, Im also a wino so ill enjoy a nice spicy, peppery dry red any day of the week

For now, I'm content with club soda and a lime, or just plain ol' water

joforyoga

I'm a red wine drinker. Or ciders and Cesar's in the summer!

Now? Water, Club Soda with lemon.  I don't drink juice or pop but with this pregnancy and the last one I have a serious addiction to chugging orange juice! So awful. 

ChocolateIsLife

Oh man a bloody mary sounds amazing right now!

baker1jm2

Craft brews, Moscow mules and red wine.  Haven't missed alcohol at all yet but I know come summer I'll miss an ice cold beer or Moscow mule! Lately pretty much just water and the occasional sprite or ginger ale to help settle my stomach 

lindsayfairlamb

When not pregnant, I love a good Riesling or Moscato white wine.

Now, it's water, lemonade, or orange juice. I could totally go for a glass of wine right now...

soprano19

@lindsayfairlamb Rieslings are my go-to as well. I would kill for one right now!

At the moment I'm drinking a virgin mimosa with ginger ale instead of champagne. It's good enough.

kkerner87

Feeling dehydrated so I have been pounding back bottles of water only this weekend. 

When I'm not pregnant, I started to drink those hard seltzer waters.I was trying to cut back on carbs, sugar and calories. I also really like whiskey, red wine and cranberry and vodka.

Uhlease13

I didn't really miss alcohol (ok, maybe I did...) until I read this thread, but now I really miss alcohol! I will be drinking water with lemon tonight. too bad it's not Friday anymore


I usually go for red wine -cabs and zins first but don't discriminate. 

Or vodka soda, splash of grenadine if I'm out At a bar, or at home. I love making cocktails. If I didn't fall asleep so early (even pre pregnancy) I would totally love to be a bartender. 

And beeeer. So good. There are tons of IPAs in California which are good, but not my fav. I miss living in Colorado with all the variety of stouts and porters there! Not that I can't find any here, just not as many. I love nitro beers. 

Cheers! To another 6 + or - months until we can drink again
