I tend to like quite healthy drinks.
I like fresh fruit juice, especially, orange and pineapple.
And I think apple juice is very refreshing on a hot day.
I like cups of tea in the winter.
Because they're nice and warming and you can curl up with a nice big cup.
But I don't drink coffee.
And I think hot chocolate's nice just for special occasions.
I like, um, wine.
I used to like white wine a lot more.
But as I've grown older I now prefer red wine.
I don't drink beer.
I find it too bitter.
It's got a very strong taste. But lager, maybe that's not so bad.
I tend to drink gin and tonics when I go out.
I don't like fizzy drinks too much.
I don't drink, Coke [Coca-Cola] or lemonade, really on their own.
But if they're a mixer with something and I'm out with friends, that's quite a nice drink to have.
