Favorite as in what I enjoy the most, chocolate milk. I have a drinking problem with that stuff: two hands, only one mouth.

Favorite as in what I actually drink the most, good filtered water. And I drink it the most partially because I really do prefer it as a main beverage. Tea, coffee, even chocolate milk, they don't really quench a thirst the same way. They're treats to enjoy here and there, maybe as much as once a day. But water is right there, soothing the throat and making me feel good all day long.

The other reason I drink it by preference is that it's just as good at any temp range. You also can't water it down with ice ;)

But, in case anyone gives a flying fuck, out of the rest, I tend to favor tea over coffee, with iced tea being a damn close second to water. Both of those are better than any soda to me, though a good root beer or cream soda is great a few times a year. Tea wise, I'm not picky with iced tea. Hot tea, it's Earl Grey, followed by Irish breakfast. Coffee wise, Blue Mountain is the nectar of the gods, and anything else is a distant second.

Like, if I went in a store on the road, my first pick would be a bottle of water. If that wasn't available, as in what they had is stuff I know tastes weird, I'd go with Arizona green tea with ginseng, then whatever looks the strongest with lemon. Then I'd consider a soda. Coffee at a stop n rob is not happening. I'd drink shitty beer before gas station coffee.
