Mostly cold Coke or water at any temperature. I don't seem to notice any bite with the soda, even when smoking a blend that contains perique.

What a diversified set of answers and insights. I have previously enjoyed several types of beer while smoking, a scotch/bourbon/red wine....but overall, the best is just straight water!

This might sound off putting to some but I make jams and jellies and dang near anything else I can get into a canning jar. batches of 50 jars or even more if I'm stocked up. But I usually make the jams very low sugar and boil my mix down to almost tar compared to the conventional jelly/jam/preserves recipies I see.
Teaspoon of strawberry "tar" in iced tea, usually with about half a lemon chopped up in it. Sorta like a bastardized palmer. I tend to drink a lot of it when its hot out....if cold then I just use hot tea.
They go great with a pipe. Thread asks what to stay away from though.. I have to say nearly anything if its sweet. It makes me drool worse than my Mastiff. Soda doesn't upset my tongue and neither does alcohol but I tend to puff slow. Plus I think I'm probably just conditioned to it pr past noticing if its bothering me. I believe someone else said it that their pipe could be described almost as a pacifier in the way its held for hours through the day with only a few bowls actually being run through it.
If I'm really charging and goin like a locomotive then its the sweet that gets me. Not the carbonation. Just my exp.

It's funny but when I was a nail smoker, anything alcoholic paired up nicely. I could go thru a pack of smokes at a bar. Drinking beer, mixed drinks or straight up whatever. Carbonated sodas too matched with cigs perfectly. Then the pipe came along, and the alcohol tobacco combination was forever broken. Never figured it out myself, but with pipe I just imbibe water, tea or coffee. In fact, the few times I've fallen off the wagon and hit the nails again were always associated with parties and alcohol. Thank God those days are behind me.

Ports or stouts are great, some flatter ales can be ok, but other beers bother me unless I'm smoking something really cool and smooth. Not near as bad as soda though.

Liquor(s) or mixed drinks, pop, or water. I prefer hot or ice tea, coffee, very light tasting lemonade (always homemade) or beer. That's about it. I drink enough water throughout the day that I get sick of drinking it so it's always nice to change it up.
