At least i hope, non alcoholic drinks during flight

Guess you could as well ask which alcoholic drink dentists, teachers, judges,
train drivers etc.... prefer, there would always be a huge variety of answers.
Dont think that certain preferences are related to a specific job.

Well, I am not a pilot, but i like (german) beer, a good wine, and Tequilla (not together of course)

Keep enjoying your drinks,
but remember:
Dont drink and drive/fly

a double scotch coke during the briefing
a double wodka tonic during taxing out
a tripple scotch on the rocks during climb out
a bottle of red wine in cruise
1 beer for every 10,000 feet descent during approach
1 shooter on final
and a good stick of weed after landing!

I'm no pilot

As I'm no pilot and safety is immeasurably better for it. I would imagine that the answer to your question is "Whatever he or she can get their hands on" - PS If I completed a safe landing - It would be "doubles all round" an SLF has not bent the kit.

I don't touch alcohol...and can't even down cough syrup. I have a weakness for cold water, however, and seem to overdo grapefruit juice when the opportunity presents.

Favourite drink ...?

The first cold frosty one after a long haul flight somewhere hot and humid. It must be said that it goes down so fast that it is the second one you first savour though
