Coffee in the morning, water during the day, and beer in the evening. And anyone who brings up that "link between alcohol while smoking increasing cancer" horseshit again can stuff it. Pick pipe smoking, or pick being paranoid of cancer; they don't go well together.
Most of the time it's coffee, black w/sugar. When I'm smoking an aromatic I like a French Vanilla creamer w/sugar in the coffee. During the summer I like sweet iced tea or root beer.
In the morning Cafe Du Monde coffee. During the day it is Luzianne iced tea. After dinner I do shots of Everclear until I am blind drunk and pass out in my chair.

You need to start wearing one of those Medical Alert Monitors. LOL!!!
In the mornings or early afternoon its almost always coffee. Late afternoon I'll have beer or water. Late evening its usually a beer. Guinness is my go to beer when having a beer with my pipes.
Black coffee is great with just about any non-latakia blend I have tried. Beer is good, whiskey numbs my palate too much. I recently discovered by accident that I like a good root beer and Carter Hall.
I really enjoy coffee or tea when smoking. I don't fancy alcohol when smoking because it kinda weirdly calls for a cigarettes and since I want to stay out of those and enjoy more pipe smoking, ...
I'm an evening pipe smoker. So, it's bourbon. Always bourbon.
As for the esteemed Cigrmaster:

You have a Costco or Sam's Club nearby where you can buy Depends in bulk, Harris?

Wine - sweet, dry, or in between. Scotch, bourbon, rum, vodka, or tequila, straight, mixed, on the rocks, below the rocks, whatever, and not necessarily in that order.
And I haven't had a glass of milk in 40 years.
