Favorite fishing beverage?

[slipbob]

Okay everybody what do you like out there on the water?  Do you bring some icetea, sodas, water, coffee, or maybe, just maybe beer?  I find myself bringing at least 2 beers and a gatorade in my backpack which contains all necessary fishing stuff.  I like to bring some darker beer like stout or porter because as it warms up it tastes better.  It's not the stuff you want on ice but I don't bring a cooler unless I boat fish which I don't do much of now because I don't have a boat.

Add ten to your beer count (assuming that I don't have to drive the boat) and switch the gatorade for suntea (no sugar or lemon) or fresh squeezed lemonade!

Cold water is my favorite.  It hydrates, is not fattening, and quenches thirst better than any other liquid.  Any water is my favorite, warm, hot, it doesn't matter as long as it's wet. 

During a hot day on or in the water, nothing refreshes and keeps me focused like a nice drink of water.

Don't get me wrong, I like the taste of the above mentioned beverages, but I want to be at my best while fishing, that's all.  I'll save the brewskis for when I get home (or back to camp).

Gatorade for hydration, beer for dehydration.

I would have to say gatorade or powerade. Water is the best thing for thirst quenching, and it doesn't fill you up like other things. Gotta be ice cold though.

I grew up on that stuff, I think if I ever tasted that stuff again I'd be sick.

H₂O,  followed by Bud. Try to keep the adult beverages for the darker hours but occaisionally I will crack one in broad daylight after a long session.

Ah man, coffee in the AM, beer in the PM.  Who cares about hydration!  Caffination, intoxication, and of course, urination...

[seaweed01]

I enjoy a brew or two when I am not driving the boat or vehicle. Other than
that its water.  Of course if it is a cold day, nothing beats a hot cup of coffee.

a swig of fish slime then a good thirst quencher of creek water and I am fine!!! lol

If I take anything fishing it is water, and if I am catfishing it would be moutain Dew, but I won't touch that beer stuff!!!!   I wanna be a normal human instead of a dumb intoxicated idiot stumbling all over the place puking!!! 

[billditrite]

coffee early, fruit -2-0  and then maybe a beer

[fozsey]

Water, DC and maybe Dr. P. No beer til after all is done. Bac here is .08 inc. the wet road and they do check.

Gee I guess if that was what happened to me when I had a beer I'd be afraid to go near it too! I feel your pain man.

A gallon of water is all I bring... but if I'm fishing with my usual buddy who always brings beer I end up having some.
