You're not going to hear much about alcoholic drinks on here. One, they are not optimal. Two, they hurt your wallet. Three, I don't drink them. Now, most of the drinks below may injure your grocery wallet a little, but they also arrive with some good benefits.
Each liquid below is arranged in random order by type and not by best taste drink. Where does your thirst allegiance lie?:
1) Water/Sparkling/Infused - your best bet, especially during competition and workouts.
2) Teas - Some have caffeine, which is good prior to a workout or while training. They also relax. Take your pick.
3) Coffees - See Teas. Coffees work prior to training and when you drive a long distance - I can attest.
4) 100% Juice - get it all in without artificial flavors.
5) Kombucha - It has too much sugar. No one said you had to drink it everyday. But,
6) Chai - On the tea level.
7) Homemade Ginger Drinks - Have found these drinks to work for sore throats, digestion, and an added vitamin C mix. The winner: water, fresh ginger, lemon (fresh or juice), pineapple juice (optional), honey (optional). Bring to a boil.
8) Vegetable Broth/Juice (not V8 but from cooking) - As in your boil vegetables in a pot with seasonings and drink the juice afterwards. But, you have to be aware of the type of vegetable you cook because some juices are nasty.
9) Gatorade - good for restoring electrolytes after prolonged exercise, excessive sweating, and after emesis.
10) Smoothies/Kefir/Milks - because they're good and post workout good.
Much success to you | Derek | @teemptraining | derekteempt@gmail.com
