Do you have a favorite "must-have" drink?

Another weekend of discovering other great blogs to read!  This week's "blog hop," coordinated by the wonderful Crazy For Books, has a funny question.

What do you like to drink while reading, reviewing, and/or blogging?

I'm sure that people would expect someone living in Seattle to say coffee, but I am actually not a coffee drinker.  Can't stand the stuff, or the smell on my clothes if I've spent time in a coffee shop chatting with friends.  I know it's strange, and I'm sure that I can get thrown out of the Northwest for such sacrilege.

Honestly, I'm not sure that I really need anything to drink to get me through reading a book, or writing reviews or blog posts.  I couldn't make it through the school day without some sort of fizzy, caffeinated beverage however.  I've been known to pilfer a colleague's secret stash of Diet Cokes.  In a pinch, a nice hot chocolate will also do the trick.

What about you?  Do you have a secret, or not so secret, beverage vice?

Happy HOP! I drink alot of water during the day while at work. When I finally get home I switch to diet soda with the hope it'll keep me awake long enough to get all my reading and blogging done. Happy reading!

Come HOP by and visit

I am with you. I do not appreciate coffee at all. I can't even walk into a coffee shop like Starbucks without starting to gag. What astonished me is that everyone says that coffee smells better than it tastes. That is not a glowing endorsement.

Give me Diet Pepsi all the time!

Hi--
Just hopping by and following! I'm looking forward to your reviews. Love that you're a middle school librarian--I teach 8th grade & have student reviews on my blog, too!

I always have to have something to drink near me, usually Diet Coke or water. Or a Barq's Root Beer if I'm feeling adventurous!

Have a great weekend!

I don't normally drink while reading because I worry about spilling! While blogging, though, I'll sometimes have tea or juice.

Here from the hop!

I hate coffee too. I cannot stand the smell or taste so I hear you on that.

I love diet coke (in an unhealthy way)!

It is so cool that you are a Jr. High Librarian. I am going to look around at more of your reviews!

I get the same thing here being so close to wine country. Problem is, I don't especially like the stuff. Oh well.

Happy weekend. I don't drink while reading or blogging.

Just hoppin' on by! <3 I'm a new follower! :)

I would have assumed you were a Seattles Best coffee drinker, haha!

I don't normally drink while reading; I'm afraid of spills! But when I write reviews, I must, must, MUST have a cold glass of Very Vanilla Soymilk with me. It's weird, I know, but I can't write one without it! :P

I grew up in Washington and have never taken a sip of coffee. It's a religious thing, but I don't think I would drink it even if I wasn't Mormon. The stuff smells nasty. I'm more into ice water and Mt. Dew, if I need a pick me up (shhh ... don't tell my bishop!).
