A nice cold beer downed in about 3 swigs! I dive then drink. Usually between dives I'm drinking flavored water or an energy drink, between stuffing food in my mouth.

When done for the day I pound down a few light beers as instructed by my most of my class instructors. I thought it was a Padi rule.

On a dive trip once the diving is finished for the day, one cold beer and that is it until dinner when I will either have another beer or a glass of wine and possibly a tot of rum as a nightcap. 
Locally I have a two hour drive back home before I have my beer so I usually have some 100 Plus or Pocari Sweat in summer or green tea in winter

It depends on the Dive. If I've been in decompression, I don't have anything carbonated for 24 hours. As most of my diving is deep, I usually just drink water or Gatorade to replace electrolytes. If I've been looking at the fish in shallow warm water and nitrogen absorption isn't an issue, I'll hazard a beer or single malt.

In Austria, they'd tell you that drinking beer after a dive helps with off gassing. They called it "deco beer". Everyone knew that it wasn't true, but heck, it's a good reason to lie to yourself

ONE cold refreshing beer, of the local variety.
I have to remember to tell my wife that when I bring home the 12 pack. "But honey it is to help me off gas and is a safety measure."
cant drink beer any more, but believe that beer after diving is good for you as long as you also hydrate with water.
