Nelie -- I agree with you about tea drying out my mouth (but I still drink a lot of iced green tea, just because I like it).

Water is still my drink of choice with most meals. When I first finished radiation, I couldn't tell the difference between good coffee and rotten coffee, but gradually the taste buds got back to where they could distinguish between the two. I also try lots of fruit juice combinations -- usually ones that aren't too acidic.

I enjoy wine with dinner -- never liked beer, and have had no interest in mixed drinks ever since radiation (I've tried once or twice in 18 years and they burned too much).
