I love water. I don't drink anything but water. I dislike soda, coffee, tea, milk, etc.. I don't like any other kind of flavored drinks, either. However, I know that some of you dislike water.

I take all my meds with water.

Do you like water? Why or why not? Do you take your meds with water?

I LOVE water too! I hardly drink anything else to be honest. But when I eat a meal, I need to drink something with a little more taste/sweetness. For that I usually go for a nice iced tea, or lemonade. But for meds and anything else at all really, its just pure AGUA!!

I take mine with a rice crispy treat. I have disolvable medication but the after taste is horrible.

I hate water and it makes me gag, but I will take my meds with it if I forget to bring an alternate drink to bed. My favorite is chocolate milk.

Water, strong plain coffee, tea. Rarely I'll have a soda, but I do like certain energy drinks, which are basically sodas with more stuff I probably don't need.

I have no reason for doing what I do—I was just thinking about this.

I tend to go all day with no water, drinking cold or hot coffee or decaf instead. I need to break this habit. Water is good.

I drink a lot of water. Nothing quenches my thirst better than good spring water! I do have coffee (decaf) in the morning, yet I drink water all day and with meals. The first thing I order at a pub? Water.

I take my meds with water. I've stopped drinking anything with even a minute amount of caffeine or anything acidic. Sometimes if a med dissolves too soon I'll have some milk.

I take my meds with diet Dr pepper for the most part. Occasionally I'll take it with water. I usually just drink diet Dr pepper or another diet soda if that's not available. On my one day that I have to work 12 hours, I'll have one or two regular sodas.

Water ! Any artificial sweeteners are hell on people with fibromyalgia.

I do drink plain iced tea for a break from water a couple times a day

Prefer something with taste, so usually drink tea to down the meds; but if none is handy water will do.

I sometimes take my pills with green tea, like when I'm traveling in the car.

Mostly with water, but sometimes something else, like tonight I took them with unsweetened iced tea. In the morning I almost always take them with orange juice.

At night I sometimes drink a small glass of wine or beer, but I also have a non alcoholic drinks at that time, too.
