ADHD Drinks

Anyone else have like 3 different drinks in front of them most of the time - especially at your desk? For me it’s usually water, coffee, soda, and/or an adult beverage at home 😂… I’ve heard this is an adhd thing

Omg. This is so funny. One of the pet peeves of both my mom and partner is that I leave lots of water glasses around, usually half filled with water. Also tea that I made and forgot to drink… had no idea this was an ADHD thing.

Wow I truly thought I was the only one!!! This app is brillant… yes I always have a energy drink and or coffee, something fun like juice or like a smoothie and I have to also have water… and my last job I got asked daily do you have enough drinks? and I’d laugh it off but like I always wondered why I did it I just never truly questioned it til people would pick on me for it🙀💕🙏🤷‍♀️🧃🧋☕️🧊

Omg yes! At work they make fun of me because I have coffee and either some water or other beverage and I switch back and forth. Coffee for the caffeine and anything else for the hydration!

I usually end up with 2. I can't function without my water bottle in my hand, then I'll have an energy drink and sometimes a smoothie.

In my home it's: kombucha, arizona tea, yakult (costco knockoff version lol) Must have to do with water being boring for the brain/ needing caffeine? Haha

All the time. I have a protein drink, propel water and then my water with pineapple crush In it, an energy juice drink. I used to drink energy drinks or pop but I had the gastric bypass so no more carbonation for me

I don’t drink soda (sensory issue with the carbonation) or alcohol, so it’s water, coffee, and smoothies for me.

I always stumble into work with a Trenta iced tea and a Trenta iced coffee from Starbucks lol. I work 12 hour shifts in an ER and need the energy plus I need to hydrate. At any given time at work I’ll have those drinks on the go plus a water and gingerale too haha

Never heard this as an ADHD thing, but I definitely have several drinks going at once, too! Water, coffee, and I’ll have a soda or some crystal light or juice, too.

Water and chicory coffee (sometimes regular). I have stayed away from carbonated drinks since I stopped drinking—no particular reason for that.

I didnt know this was a thing, but yes! One fizzy, one tea and a water all dotted around the house where I've ditched one, forgot about it and made another. No wonder my washing up pile never gets smaller lol

Yes except they're not always in front of me. Most of the time I set my drink down while I'm doing something and then forget where it is and can't find it to save my life. I'll find it the next day or someone will ask, “Do you know why this Sprite Zero/glass of wine/cup of congealed latte is sitting on the barbecue outside?

Wow, I didn't know this was a thing! I always have my water jug (but don't actually drink it near as much as I should), plus a coffee that I almost never completely finish and then an iced tea or pop, which also rarely get finished 🤦🏼‍♀️
