Can't tell if thats supposed to be an exotic coffee or an exotic beer.

I will say this. If you find a beer brewed with oatmeal and coffee, drink it! We have a local brewery named Terrapin that puts one out every now and then. Damn its good.

He also doesn't point out that the beer has 9.6% abv, making it about double the alcohol content of 2 "regular" beers, making 1 Bigfoot Ale a great better tasting alternative to drinking 2 Budweisers. The fact that he points out that the 6 pack has over 2000 calories is also asinine because anyone who drank a 6 pack of that stuff in one sitting would be seriously intoxicated to the point of passing out in a pool of his own vomit.

I could go on, but I think you all get the point.
Preach it! Craft beer 4-evz. Water and tea are good too.

I drink soda very rarely, most of the time it's the tonic in my gin & tonics.
There is however a huge amount of Julmust on christmas...

Otherwise I mainly drink tea, coffee, milk and water.

I drink espresso and coffee in the mornings up until about 11:00am, then I have a protein shake. Might have a Pepsi at lunch or some other kind of pop. Then onto water until after work. After the gym I usually have another protein shake and more water. Most of the time If I can find it at local stores, I have Pepsi Throwback with the evening meals. Freaking love that stuff.

There is a reason why he can pimp up Bud and Michelob. Per the old Monty Python joke: how is American Beer like f'ng in a canoe? Its damn close to water.

Fact:

I've taken down a six pack of Bigfoot Ale in four innings of a Cubs game. I was buzzed, but no where near seriously intoxicated.

Bus yes, the general run of the mill American beer tastes like club soda with a slice of bread in it.

My personal favorite beverage would be Laphroig, straight.

edit* I also downed a sixer of Miller Lite that game. I was intoxicated after that. But, I did sleep well that night.

I typically drink 150 oz of water a day - mostly to clear my gut since my body aint wired up right. But I also drink coffee and tea often (mostly green teas and black coffee). I do not drink alot of beer or wine, but anything that is not mass marketed I am up for trying.

My soda of choice is Cocacola - nowadays usually cut with Diet or Coke Zero.
My libation of choice is rum
