Here are my top five drinks:

1) Hot green tea, organic, from a tea bag. Out of a glass mug.

Sun and Mercury in 6H. It's healthy drink, and I'm particular about the mug. I have loose tea, but don't drink it since I can't figure out how to avoid little debris floating in my cup, which I hate.

2) Hot black Coffee

Cap sun, saturnine drink.

3) Rooibos Chai with liquid stevia

Aquarius Mercury. I try all the different weird teas, and this one's a favorite.

Plus Capricorn is the sign of India where chai was invented.

4) G.T. Dave's Multi-Green Kombucha

Again, just to be weird and semi-healthy after all the black coffee.

This is also how I get spirulina into my children. Venus/Neptune in the 5th with whole signs.

5) Water

When I am at my rural house it tastes good; otherwise I only have it reluctantly. With lemon if possible.

What do you drink?

Outside of that, I like caffeine-free tea. I do NOT like sweet tea or teas with tons of sugar (and many bottled teas are loaded with sugar). I used to like diet Snapple, but I don't drink diet anything anymore, except rarely.

The only time that I drink diet soda is at restaurants if I don't like the water. For some reason, I hate diet soda out of a can, but at a restaurant, from a fountain, it's not bad. I used to drink it more often, but just stopped. I tried a can later after going without it for awhile and it was just gross to me.

I really love Perrier and other French mineral water. There are other brands that I like, but Perrier is the easiest to find. I love that stuff.

I like wine (the sweet kind, not the hearty or dry kind), but I drink less and less as time goes on. At this point in life, wine is becoming more of a special occasion thing, and, even then, I am restricting myself. Anxiety about being unhealthy plus vanity are the two big reasons.

I also like soy milk (certain kinds of Silk brand; I go for the lighter kinds, as some kinds have TONS of sugar). Regular milk just tastes disgusting to me, unless it's just in cereal. By itself, I do not like the taste of milk (though I do like cheese).

I don't think that there's anything astrological here. I avoid sweet, sugary drinks for vanity reasons. I am avoiding alcohol more and more for health and vanity reasons. I am a Libra, but I know other Libras who eat plenty of junk. I don't have any Virgo in my chart, either. Most of the health nut people that I know are Virgos. Come to think of it, most of the people whom I know who have strong opinions about food are Virgo and Taurus. Some eat healthfully, others do not, but the one thing that they share is that they have pretty strong ideas and philosophies about food.

Honestly, I have two main goals with food: look nice and not be heavy like I used to be and also to not have health problems later. I can sacrifice taste and excitement if those two goals are met.

*Water. I have dehydration issues lately so I drink it 24/7. ✖‿✖

*Hot chocolate. I love hot chocolate, only it has to be expensive! I can't drink it from a packet like Nequik. Snobby Libra sun - I blame you.

*Coffee with milk, but sometimes black. I have a 10H Sun and strongly aspected Capricorn planets so maybe that's the capricorn influence...? I am surprisingly Saturnine when I want to be. It surprises people, trust me. And not in a good way.

*Earl grey tea, and a lot of classic flavors of tea. I like lemon and peach flavors too.

I choose to quote the lovely site http://intoxicatedzodiac.com and their take on Pisces drinking: "Alcohol is a food group! As my finned friends know, happiness sometimes lies in the bottom of a bottle."

Non-aloholic: black coffee!

I do like coffee but I can't drink a lot of it because it makes me nuts (I have a lot of Air so anything that gives me more nervous energy is too much). I usually drown it in cream and sugar, though. I don't like black coffee. I also like Thai iced tea and chai tea.

Thank you! I'm pretty sure I tried them all. The one I currently use for occasional loose tea is attractive and has a neat rubber cap that can go over top or underneath so nothing leaks on the countertop. I think it's beautiful. The concept moves me.

Reminds me of one of those shamrock shakes from McDonald's if you ever had one while you were here? St. Patrick's day shake.

I love exotic loose leaf teas from Teavana -and really like that you can choose their teas for certain health benefits. Virgo sun (healthful teas) sextile Uranus (favoring random tea combos). Maybe also Pluto and Uranus in sixth?
