Tea is amazing , I drink at least 4 cups of earl grey daily (out of a spurs mug)
I do LOVE coffee but if I drink too much, I get heart palpitations (Starbucks gingerbread latte is my current favorite)
Alcohol - I like a nice cold bottle of becks. followed by Southern Comfort and Coke.
Cola - Cherry Coke is probably the best of that bunch, I can only really drink coke/pepsi when it's properly ICE cold, otherwise, I'll get on the fanta.
Chocolate - I'm currently torn between Wispas and Double Deckers as my bar of choice.

Tea - about as snobbish as you can get: if I could, I'd only use leaves and have no milk or sugar. As it is, normally it's milk and a sweetener (dentist's orders, I drink so much tea over half my daily sugar intake was in that) with Twinings English Breakfast.
Coffee - I just don't drink it for some reason, never quite got round to it.
Alcohol - very new to it all, so something sweet that masks the taste. Preferably a pressed cider or some sweet white wine. Those'll do quite nicely. Never flavoured vodka - tastes like cough medicines.
Chocolate - mmm to Lindt whatever, preferably dark dark chocolate; also Bourneville and Galaxy Dark. Failing that, a Double Decker or Snickers would suffice.
And just a hint, cider and Ben & Jerry's ice cream really does not mix well at all.

Tea, no. Coffee, no. Alcohol, yes. Wine, Port, bottled larger if I'm out sometimes, JD & Coke. Cola, yes. Pepsi. Chocolate, yes. I go through phases where I eat too many of one thing and get bored of it. Whispas at the moment though. See, we're all learning

Ha yep, this is proving a very productive thread. Tea- Always, but just good old english breakfast for me, sometimes white sometimes black, it confuses my housemates, as I change how I prefer it all the time! Coffee- Like it, sometimes, but I'm not a massive caffine fiend, I like it more for the social side of sitting in coffee shops than anything else! Hate instant though, bleurgh, horrible stuff. Alcohol - As I side, usually it's wine, if I'm out it'll be sailor jerrys or JD but sometimes that changes, bit of a soft spot for cider too (preferably pear, served in a field in Somerset at Glastonbury!) Coke - Drink too much of it, flit between diet and regular, not really fussy. Chocolate - You know what...I like it, but not half as much as the rest of the world seems to. Though if anyone wants a friend for life in me, a box of guilyan chocolates is the way to go!

Tea: Earl Grey or English Breakfast. I found the Harrod's Earl Grey is the best I've had so far surprisingly. Waitrose English breakfast has a good flavour but unfortunately gets quite scummy. Milk, no sugar. I'm also partial to good quality green tea (which should actually be green and not brown like a lot of green tea turns out to be) and jasmine (which should be yellow).
Coffee: love it but I'm not a coffee fiend. Mostly drinking double macchiati at the moment (I prefer espresso based coffee). But I also quite like french press coffee if it's made strong. No milk, no sugar (although I sometimes go for a cappucino).
Alcohol: beer (ale) is good in sensible quantities. I like some lagers like Tiger and Staropramen but they've got to be strong tasting. My stomach's not good at handling large volumes of beer. It gets confused. Wine is an evil drink which gives me headaches about 20 minutes after drinking. As posted before, I drink a lot of G&Ts, Goldschlager and tequila.
Coke: I'll drink a can a day, although I do try to cut down on it where possible (ie the holidays). And just to deviate a bit, I drink a fair amount of Red Bull out of necessity at college.
Chocolate: I love "proper" chocolate but I've got a soft spot for cadbury's. Currently eating Wispas like there's no tomorrow. I love good quality dark chocolate though.

Now that I'm dating a student I'm drinking tea like theres no tomorrow! They live off the stuff! But it makes me pee every 30 seconds.... nice..
I won't touch coffee becasue the smell alone makes me want to vomit! How can you people drink it?!
I'm usually a 'anything with vodka' man but after last night I'm swinging towards spending Christmas eve drowned in cider! It's so good! I've never tried it now!...but then I switched to beer near the end of the night, and I'm regreting that now.... You can't beat afew corkies shots either, especially cream egg!
I'll drink either coke or pepsi, but I prefer coke! But none of them compare to cheap supermarket 'american cola'! Go get some!....
I also have a strange thing for Red Bull, try a can with a couple of nurofen for a great hangover cure.... ( New conversation piece perhaps?)
Any chocolates good for me, apart from dark chocolate, that stuffs evil! I also bow down to the god of chocolate - The Wispa! Been living off them from my local milkshake shop. Mars planets are also awesome, think I've eaten a bag in about five seconds before...

Wasn't gonna start its own thread for this since it's not a big enough topic, but: Just back from the pub, so I'd like to wish everyone a Happy Xmas! Love from your favourite Tottenham-supporting PRR fan. Okay, your second favourite then... Lawrie ;D

A belated 'Bah! Humbug!' to you all from darkest Norfolk. Oh yeah, the 'New Year' greeting: I'll go for ... it CAN'T be worse than 2008, surely?
(Is that ok for my first post?)

so we know that everyone likes a tipple, but does anybody smoke?

Nah. I would say, "filthy habit", but what I'd really be meaning is, "filthily expensive habit"...
Happy to say I've never smoked a single fag [tobacco or otherwise] in my entire life.
