What do you like to drink? What do you hate?

Post Reply New Topic

Thinking back to the "white diet" described for certain Aspies, I was thinking about drinking and any issues we might have different from NT's.

I know that myself, and my nephew (the only Aspies I know well enough to speak of) both have extreme aversions and/or 'addictions' for lack of a better word with types of things we drink.

For example, I can't - can't - can't - drink anything which isn't as sweet as Kool-Aid. It can be anything; soda any flavour, iced tea, carbonated or not.

But if I try to drink a glass of water, it's like watching me splutter, sip, make faces, and either glug it all at once or give up on it.

Same with alcohol! I can't stand the taste/smell... and I found the only sort I could get down, at all, was that frightfully syrupy-sweet dessert sherry from Poland. Which, yes, tastes like Kool-Aid

I was wondering..... in general, as compared to NT's..... do we aspies have more specific tastes and sensitivities? I'd imagine we might.....

But then, I can think of lots of NT's who drink pots of coffee all day long. Or guzzle Cokes.

And I'd like to hear from both NT's and others to see if there's any pattern.

Oh, and I can't stand for my drink to have any texture..... thick veg juice, bubble tea, liquid yogurt, peach 'nectar', OJ with pulp .... gag!

And of course, I wonder if it's common for people like me to forget to drink, don't feel thirst and get dehydrated?

<--- Drinks like a fish.

I am exactly the same- except for textured drinks I don't mind them at all. I hate water it's vile stuff and I don't tend to drink enough because I get absorbed in whatever I'm doing and just don't bother.

I hate milk

I especially like tea. Then hot black coffee. And not much else.

(but milk on cereal is OK).

It takes my NT GF forever to eat sweets like candy bars she will have it in her mouth for 10 mins to process she can't swallow it too much sweets in it maybe...

I am always thirsty i always require drinks. For over a decade i would drink gatorade like crazy. I could finish a 64ounce bottle the big one in a night. My mom was always stocking up on Gatorade for me.

Since we moved i drink Gatorade, iced sweet tea and Vitawater. I'll also drink lemonade when out tree gives us lemons. It's no pulp my gf doesn't like pulps either.
I've always had a problem with thirst and always drinking fluids...

I am addicted to milk. I love milk so much! I have drunk an entire quart of milk in 2 minutes and wanted more. Never tried the gallon challenge though.
I dislike water, though I try to drink it. It's not too bad if it's ice cold. I can't do caffeine, not a huge fan of sugary drinks either. I do like tea, both hot and iced, and hot chocolate. I love thick dairy drinks like milkshakes and smoothies and yogurt. I would probably live on that if I could.

I only drink water. But I'm picky with water and really sensitive to the taste and smell of it.

I like coffee, some fruit juices, some types of alcohol and some fizzy juices, though I prefer them flat. I really don't like drinking milk, or beer.

Beer. I like to drink beer.

I love Pepsi Max. I can not stand anything with alcohol in it. It's poison.

Like pop/soda, milk, grape joice.

Dislike hoppy beers (too bitter and can't swallow), black coffee (again too bitter, any drink that contains pulp (mixed textures don't go well with me), warm orange juice (can only drink it if very cold and with ice, otherwise too acidic)

I will drink juices and water (only from my well, which has been tested, not BPA-containing bottles).

I refuse to drink tea (caffeine and taste), alcohol (health issues, the nature of the beverages and it smells horrible), coffee (caffeine - I'm allergic), anything with chocolate in it, soda/pop (carbonation irritates my stomach and intestines).

:humor: Shutdown shots.....what else would I drink?

I like dr pepper, but I don't drink it much.

i drink sweet coffee in the morning...lots of it.

i drink water all day long, but it cannot be cold water.

i drink tequila at night after my day's chores or responsibilities have been taken care of.


i never did like sodas or many juices, and that winds up to be a good thing because i was recently diagnosed with certain allergies.

I am addicted to chocolate milk. I tend to buy two or three gallons at a time and they only last me for a few days. I'd say 80% of what I drink is chocolate milk.

Of the remaining 20%: 18% is water and 2% is whatever I can settle for (usually some sort of fruit juice).

I stopped drinking soda a few years ago except for the occasional drink that comes with a fast food order or something. I've never tasted a alcoholic drink that I liked, and in any case they don't appeal to me at all even if I were old enough to drink them.
