My commute's only 9-12 miles, one way, depending on which way I go. I never drink on the road, not because I have anything against it, but because I just don't carry anything to drink. In the mornings before I leave I'll drink hot, black coffee. On the way to work I usually stop for a Camel Non-Filter and pee break before I hit the last big hill. At work I drink room temp., black coffee most of the morning, a Coke with lunch, 1-2 quarts of water in the afternoon, diet soda after I get home, sometimes water, depends on what my body is telling me. Once in a great while I'll stop for a small, iced, black coffee on the way home. But that's just me and is probably not the best example to follow. I have been considering a handle bar mounted coffee cup holder.
