When peeling down what do you drink - water, artificial sweeteners, drops, coke zero?

[Vision]

It's that time of year where many of us are getting set for that final touch with peeling down not to forget the heat is picking up, H2O is extremely important as many of us tend to lack in this dept (including myself at times).
I simply just can't pound water just for the sake of staying hydrated when peeling down, I go bananas and wanna kill people.

What do you guys drink to keep you sane while your peeling down phase during or in a calorie deficit?

Artificial Sweeteners in my H20 (drink flavor enhancers) are a must for me, sweetened drops, crystal light and when my BS is in the dumps I will pound me a COKE or Pepsi and no it's not cane sugar (grrrrrrr, I wish it was), Mexicans have the best Coca-Cola hands down!

2/3's of my hydration is hands down sweetened!

I'm not talking about being show ready or watching sodium like it matters on that level (some flexibility), I'm strictly talking just meat-heads peeling down for the season with avoiding the mundane bored beverage pounding!

I have a water-ice joint across from my gym, I think of mango the whole session.. And I get me a mango when I'm done, believe it!

I use them too, mio, propel, crystal light, but all very "watered down".

I like the drops, not the packets

Diet cokes all day

Diet Coke and I have a half gallon jug I use to make sure I get my gallon in a day. My wife buys sugar free country time lemonade packets and I put two per half gallon. I’m like you, I can’t just pound flavorless water all day.

Whiskey and beer for me.

Water, stevia with lemon juice, make slushies out of aminos. Helps the sweet tooth and a filler

Be careful with crystal light and sugar free stuff. Alot of them have malodextrin in them. Just something to consider

Water coffee and tea. Many if not all of the artificial sweeteners kill off the flora in your intestines which makes up about 80% of your immune system as I remember. They also can hinder the digestion and assimilation of nutrients.

Short Answer? Coffee and Whisky
