I'm back!

Do you drink caffeinated drinks? If so what's your favorite? Do you have a favorite readathon drink, caffeinated or not?

I live on caffeine, spoonie life ;). I always get bottled coffee for the readathon. My favorite is the Starbucks skinny ones. This time I got Skinny Caramel Machiatto. I also got hint energy water, and dr pepper zero sugar.

Lena | 364 comments Yes I love caffeinated drinks. I like Coffee, Java, a Cup of Joe, Cafe...lol you get it!! I LOVE COFFEE! :-)

Dannii Elle (danniiellereads) | 350 comments I also live off coffee lol. My favourite at-home coffee is the Beanie's brand. I have their pumpkin spice flavour with extra pumpkin syrup for this readathon.

I wish there was a Starbucks nearer as their lattes are my favourites, but no coffee is worth the one one-hour drive solely for me to get one.


SadieReadsAgain (sadiestartsagain) | 157 comments Coffee is life.

I'm holding off on mine until I start struggling (7pm here). So far I've only had a bottled Starbucks caramel frapp. I have another one in the fridge, and some flavoured cappuccino sachets for later (cinnamon bun and toffee nut, I think).

Also love hot teas

Sarah (morr_books) | 116 comments I wish I enjoyed tea, but coffee is my drink of choice - lots and lots of coffee.

Black tea is my default. Today I will be drinking both black and green tea. Iced black tea right now for pickup up after errand. Later I will drink Tazo Zen tea: green tea with spearmint and lemongrass while reading

Normally I drink English Breakfast tea, as my stomach gets upset from too much coffee, but for readathons it's coffee

Avid, I used to drink Twinning's English Breakfast tea. Such good taste. Such effective caffiene. Maybe I treat myself to that next Deweys.

I drink a bottle or two of Coke most days, sometimes coffee, and when I get tired of coffee I drink Barry's Gold black tea. I also have some coffee candies, which I guess are candy coated freeze dried compressed coffee, and have as much caffeine per container as 6 espresso drinks. I also have ADD, and find that a bit of caffeine in the evenings makes it oddly easier to sleep. :) I can go without caffeine pretty easily, actually, but life is short, and many of my favorite drinks are caffeinated. Might as well enjoy them.

I had a cup of Twinings Earl Grey this morning and it's very good. I like their English Breakfast tea, but I usually get Yorkshire Tea (the version called Yorkshire Red, which is usually cheaper than Yorkshire Gold). I've done previous readathons with looseleaf Assam tea, but I'm all out of looseleaf tea right now.

Eswee42 | 31 comments I don't drink much caffeine (or theine) but tonight I do! Bought myself a couple of cans of coca cola. May sound like nothing for some of you, but when you are not used to caffeine at all it will do the trick!

Same goes for green tea. Hardly ever drink it, except on some mornings when I can't wake up. But only one cup, otherwise I get all jittery.


message 18: by Nona (new)

Nona | 138 comments No caffeine for me, but I did just finish a hot apple cider that was delicious.

I'll probably have some non-caffeinated tea later.

Lynnette | 324 comments Never touch coffee but I enjoy a cup of tea. Contemplating my next cup here shortly.
