'My Life Is a Series of Liquids' from Matt Bites
Photographer and food blogger Matt Armendariz recently illustrated the most prominent liquids in his life over at his blog, Matt Bites. No. 1 is red wine (86 percent, roughly), and at the bottom is water (0.6 percent; "Risk of personal dehydration: moderate to extreme") with coffee, nuoc cham, and soda chanh muoi in between. It's not just what liquids he ingests that's interesting, though, but the charming illustrations and commentary that go with them.
Naturally, his post made me think about what my life in liquids would be. I'd pretty much just switch Matt's percentages for water and wine; I drink little else aside from water (don't have a taste for coffee or alcohol), along with whatever beverages we have in the office. If I'm at a burger joint, I'll probably get a milkshake.
What is your life in liquids?

It'd be water (because I'm supposed to drink it, right?), diet pepsi, coffee, white wine, fruity drinks, tea.

Oh I am really bad . . . 80% diet Coke, 10% water, 10% other things (wine, fruit juices, milk).

30% coffee (Americano with nonfat milk)
55% water
10% wine
5% beer
I think that about covers it. Some days, I swap the coffee for tea...but the percentage is probably about the same. So...maybe 20% coffee, 10% tea over the longer-term.

Mostly coffee--too much coffee. Every now and then though, I'll jam my head down into a bottle of scotch and will refuse to surface for a couple of days.

Oh, I know! Loved that watercolor liquids posting at Mattbites, as well as all his graphic design/art direction. His stuff is just beautiful and inspiring.
I absolutely loathe water, but drink it at about 50%.
Alcohol of all forms would be 40% and
Some coffee and tea rounds out my fluid consumption.
Every once in awhile my husband and I will go buck wild on a liter and a half of Coke Zero. Gotta get some tasty industrial sweetener in there somehow.
