Cheap date. Mrs AFB doesn’t drink alcohol or coffee. She has a couple of nettle tea’s a day, but other than that it’s bottled water.
Got a tip for us?

How much coffee and alcohol do you consume daily?

Types? Heck, I'd say an easy 20 main categories, and then based on very specific ingredients, brewing method, even geographical location, and all the "hybrid" and "in between" options, triple that just to start
Beers themselves, as in, a breweries product, wow, a bunch. Heck, in my little corner of the world, there's 5 breweries within 7 miles, and ~20 if you open up the distance to just 30 miles. Each with typically 6-8 in house brewed at any given time. I bet the liquor store I go to for the big beer selection, a walk in cooled beer cave plus ~10 wall coolers, all with beer, probably has 250-300 different distinct beers.
Sounds like a great place.
Most days, I drink mostly mineral water (sparkling for preference), roughly around two litres a day.
And yes, as mentioned previously, in addition, I consume sufficient tea, fresh fruit juice, coffee and yes, wine and beer for my needs.
My latest stats are
- Coffee: zero (replaced by herbal teas/coffees)
- Beer: 1-3 a month
- Whiskey: 2-6 shots a month, 1 shot at a sitting.
Coffee: Usually 2 cups. Used to be a lot more, but I found coffee doesn't play nice with my new medication (gives me horrible insomnia).
Alcohol: On average, < 1.
Usually have a glass of Malbec with dinner at the weekends, maybe a cocktail. Maybe a pint or two, depending on the weather etc.
Was feeling guilty about the above, always happy to see people indulging more than me so I don't feel bad!

None. I don't care for the taste of either.
I'm also not a fan of tea, but I'll mix it in with cool beverages for the caffeine and interesting flavor combination.
Tangentially related: tea eggs, however, are fantastic.

Had never heard of a tea egg prior to this (despite having taught Asian students for going on 12 years now). Thanks for the education!
As for me:
At work--1.5 10 oz mugs of drip coffee per day.
At home--2 10 oz mugs of instant coffee per day.

During the work week, 1 morning espresso, straight. Then at work in the mid-morning I have a cup of coffee brewed in the Chemex.
On the weekend, 2 morning espresso's, straight, separated by a few hours.
In the evenings, most nights anyway, I'll have a dram of scotch whisky.

Too much of both! I drink a few cups of coffee almost every morning, and maybe a few beers once or twice a week. Craft breweries are the big thing in my neighborhood - they're everywhere. And I've developed a taste for a nice, hoppy IPA, so that's not helping!
For whatever reason I don't handle coffee/caffeine very well. Coffee would make me tired in the long run, but also keeps me up for a long time.
As for wine, I only use red wine to cook red meat once a while.
