I'm interested in what beverages you choose to drink while reviewing.  I know some people have a routine when doing things and that may include sitting down at your computer to review with a glass of milk, a good beer, or anything else.  Myself, it's whatever happens to be in the refrigerator but not necessarily every time I review.  So what beverage do you review to?

Hmmm... I've found that beverages and computers are sometimes not a good mix, although I did have a good cup of decaf with me the other day. Generally, I do any beverage consumption away from the computer.

Bob that's always good advice especially for us clumsier people who like to knock things over.

Perhaps someone should make an adult sippy cup so our keyboards stay safe.  Hey then we can review it!

Whenever I'm going to be sitting and reviewing for a few hours I usually end up drinking milk which is weird because I hardly drink it otherwise.

Well usually... nothing :-D  Often I get thirsty while writing a review but I usually don't want to interrupt myself so I finish the review and then get a drink!  I am easily distracted so if I get up mid-review, I might completely forget what I wanted to write about!

Depends, I'm a night owl, so, if I've just gotten home from work and start writing, it just might be a beer.  Morning reviews?  Diet Coke or something with caffiene.   I need it.  I hate morning and think it should be illegal in all countries.....

Early morning's, it's coffee for me. A couple of really big mugs. Any other time it's ice tea (usually diet peach tea). Rudi

I'm with you on the morning thing. Can we start a class action lawsuit against um...the sun or something? Night time is the right time for everything. Mornings are only good for going to sleep.

I really need to change my schedule but I love it so much, I can't break my night owl habits.

Night owls are born, not made.  You and I could no more be morning people than the sun could become the moon.  Just ain't happening.  Shoot, if I have to close the store at night, I come home, turn on Letterman/Ferguson and either play WoW or write something until at least 3 or 4 am.

I don't  like mornings either.  I usually start out on the computer with my coffee.But being as klutzy as I am it is not safe to drink and type. I have had waay too many accidents. In the afternoon I switch over to Mountain dew and usually  drink md til about 8-9 . Any wonder I am a night owl?

let's see my beverages of choice: water, milk, coffee, iced coffe, tea, iced tea. Occasionally beer or wine.. I like beer better, more liquid, less hangover..
But you can see me drinking any one of those at the computer..
I'm not much of a morning or night owl kinda person.. I like early afternoon and early evening.

I really only drink water, so that's the obvious choice. However when it comes to reviewing, I'm usually multitasking and trying to do about 15 things at once. I've noticed that I drink very little from noon - 9:00 (when my kids are finally asleep), and then I chug the water.

 No wonder I have to get in the middle of night to go to the bathroom - when this schedule of water consumption first started, my husband was worried that I was pregnant again!

My drink of choice is ALWAYS coffee - hot & black!  We have several of our own coffee roasters in town (alterra, stone creek, anodyne) which I prefer to buy from rather than the bigger coffee companies.  Organice Sumatrian - I can drink it from the time I get up until bedtime.  Plus feature - no calories!  bgz

My husband could use one of those!  Cody, our Golden, leaped up on the couch & spilled a glass of milk all over my husband's laptop.
