Just wondering what people bring along to drink? Just getting started riding with my wife, and it's a question that came to mind.. just got a bottle for my bike- so I don't have to share with my wife.
Not that that's a bad thing!!

Might sound odd, but to me, V-8 juice sounds good...

I can't imagine V-8 on a nice 98* degree, 90% humidity day

Cool and not cold water sounds good in that case with some kind of electrolyte replacement drink in a second bottle. You might have to find one that suits your needs. I cut some of them, like Gatorade G2 stuff, a little cuz they are to sweet for my liking when I ride. Other than that a nice flask of your favorite post ride bourbon in your jersey always works regardless of temperature after a hard fast ride when you get off the saddle gaspoing for air and have that powerful thirst

I'm just kidding of course!

Water...

This time of year just water. Once the weather turns nice and I can start putting on more miles per day I'll have one water and one Cytomax sport drink mix.

A lot like other people have said, I have water and Gatorade. But on really hot days I'll usually do Gatorade in both of them.

Who would admit to beer in the water bottle?

Actually, that V8 sounds pretty good. For fluids, most of the time I just carry water. On a hot day I'll carry a GatorAid. On a long ride, I'll carry a Coke or get a chocolate milk at a convenience store, or restaurant if I stop to eat.
