Assuming you are diagnosed with some hypothetical ailment that forces you to give up one or the other, what would you miss the most between tea/coffee or wine/beer? I don't drink wine or tea and while I do love a beer I could see my life crumbling if I had to give up black coffee. What say you?

Coffee, but then I don't drink any of the others. Now coffee or Pepsi max, that is a tricky one!

It would be a very close run thing between coffee and beer given I drink a lot of both.

Wine. Drink far too much of the stuff but its a hobby as well as an addiction!

Same. I only drink tea out of politeness.

Tea/Coffee. Don't drink alcohol, so not an issue.

As said previously, would be difficult between Tea/Coffee and Pepsi Max!

Tea total now for seven years or so, red wine or an excellent port. If they could bottle that keeping the taste without the bad bits then I would drink it all day.

Snap.

Can easily live without tea or coffee as I don't drink that much of it.

I'd miss the odd pint but no way could I live without wine. It's just plain lush.

Tea and wine, meh, I could leave them. Not sure I could function without coffee in the morning! And I love beer. Tough call.

I'm similar, I'd find it hard not having tea mind, I drink gallons of the stuff. Wine however, truly is the invention of the Gods!

Don't drink any of them, with the exception of the odd beer in company. I've made the switch from real Coke to Coke Zero recently though. Can't say I've noticed much of a difference.

Tea and coffee I could give up if needed but I'd really miss beer / wine.

Never used to drink much wine, preferred beer, but since settling down into mid-life I'm now about 50/50 wine/beer and do enjoy a nice glass of red. Given the choice between wine or beer it would be a tough one but I think I'd just come down on the side beer as my preferred tipple (or Single Malt Whisky which is distilled beer wink)

Gave up coffee, soft drinks and alcohol almost 6 months ago. Although I've had a couple f lapses, a stag do and wedding, it's tea that I couldn't give up as well. Always used to have a cuppa when I woke up and then onto coffee when at work.
The social aspect of alcohol is the hardest for me.
