Fantasy and Vampire Book Club discussion

Easy enough Question. We have Tea drinkers, Coffee Drinkers and those who enjoys a good drop of red (wine , not blood), while we read our books.
What i want to know is:
what drink do you prefer, when you read?

Me i'm a Tea Drinker. So i do love to drink my Tea, while i am reading a book.
however i have had make sure i have it in a thermal mug as i can get lost in the story... and nothing is worse than cold tea... or running out. So many times i have been so disctracted from the story that i forget my tea is finished and i take a sip only to find out i had already finished it!!!

Coffee in the morning, and tea in the afternoon for me. I always have to reheat mine, I find it hard to take my eyes off a good book once I've started reading. Lately I've been drinking peppermint tea.

my concentration is all on the book and not on the tea... thats why it can get cold.

I do drink coffee.... with lots of sugar. i don't like the bitterness of it mostly.

I tend to drink my herbal teas for whatever ails me at the time...or if i am dehydrated and i need water.
there was a time where Peppermint tea is all i drank. but Lately i have been trying to get onto Green tea.... still trying . i'm even trying the different types of it.
However i recently found a jasmine & oolong blend of tea that i took a fancy to at a pho restaurant i went to. mmm it was nice.
I don't think i could drink it while i read though.... it would seriously distract me cause i enjoy it too much!

I am coffee, monster energy, tea.. Doesn't matter. I usually drink coffee in the morning, monster in the afternoon, tea at night. I drink caffeine all day, bed by 9 PM.. odd.

but do you read and drink?..... maybe i should have called the topic that instead.
I think i'll just roll with it!
wow , Personally i can't stand monster.... then again it does give me heart palpitations!
do you find when you are stressed more that your coffee intake is increased?

me when i am stressed i do increase my tea intake. but then again i was raised a little british of sorts. for example if things happen like:
i am upset... have a cuppa
congratulations... have a cuppa
damn its hot... have a cuppa
damn its cold.... have a cuppa

yeah its kinda my answer to deal with life.

i tend to stay away from alcohol as i can get a bit silly with it (although there are days where you just need a beer or drink of choice).

Most of the time tea or wine (red). Occasionally Scotch

I drink all of those while I read. Depends on the time of day. I am not picky. I don't have time to steap tea or brew coffee, curl up in a chair and hunker down to read. I read on the shuttle from and to work, I read on my lunch break, I read waiting at the doctors office, etc,... I never have time to just read. I miss those times.

No smoking increases with my stress increase. I never smoke when I read though.

I don't really drink anything while reading. I'm usually too engrossed in the book to bother with a beverage. Though when I take a break I usually drink a bunch of water cuz I find myself quite thirsty

i'm terrible. i drink water before i go to sleep and when i wake up but other than that i just dont drink water.

when i find myself drinking the odd alcoholic drink i will drink more water.
alcoholic drinks of choice... cider, rum and coke, straight rum. at heart i am a rum girl. but i will drink whiskey or burbon. not a big wine lover but if it is sweet i will drink it....hate the dry stuff, it reminds me of vinegar!
I only drink alcoholic drinks when i go out , and i rarely go out.
but daily basis, unlimited cups of tea, couple of coffees, some water and soft drink/soda.
when i am reading it is exclusively tea or coffee (depending on the time of day/night).

I have to have water, because I tend to read outloud.

i'm a silent reader myself. unless i am reading to someone. but i only do that with newspaper articles.

Two of my favorite things.... Coffee and books! And they got together so well!

Water or wine in the evenings, coffee if it's early like a saturday morning read!

hmm coffee is seeming to be a popular choice. are there any tea drinking readers? to me coffee is something i drink while doing homework or in a social setting.... unless there is a devonshire tea available and i'm so there!

I do drink tea, actually a lot of tea too, but mostly wine while reading! :)

have you ever gotten drunk when you were reading and did it enhance your reading experience? i am a bit of a lightweight so i know i would be off with the fae. and with my overactive imagination possibly freaked out that whatever paranormal creature that features in the book i'm reading, would be after me. :o)

yessss! and once, I was not paying attention and downed a whole bottle of wine while reading this really hot book, A Night at Tears of Crimson<...It was so good and a favorite...I was quite tipsy and swore I was in that darn story...lol! And I can NOT drink reading the Anita Blake books...too many creatures of the night...I would never sleep!

I enjoy water is my favorite. then its either coffee or tea (jasmine is my favorite tea). These are all great while I read as I don't like to read and eat as I'm worried I will,drop something on my book

Hahaha kissie yes anita blake would be bad when drinking!
you drank a whole bottle! well i can't complain the most i had ever drunk over a day was a bottle and a half of moscato wine(it's the only wine i can tolerate drinking).
i think when you are initially distracted while you are drinking, you dont really keep track. i know i have moments when i am so engrossed in a book I'll go to drink my tea and i had already finished it!
julie i was initally scared when i first started drinking when reading... i am such an uncoordinated person. i found when i got a specific coaster for my drink and used that, i took a bit more care with my drink. as for it getting to my mouth in one piece, well im still working on that bit. thankfully i like to wear layers of clothing so if i spill hot drinks they dont burn!
