What Are You Drinking?

[TSTR]

Right now I am drinking Dr. Pepper TEN, because I have to watch my girlish figure. tee hee

I haven't had a single can of regular Dr. Pepper since 10 came out. It tastes so much like the real thing I see no reason to consume the extra calories. It's not like with Pepsi where the diet version tastes significantly worse.

Yeah, I've become a big fan of the newer low/zero cal sodas--they're all spot on enough for me to easily give up the 140 calories of HFCS.

I'm a super weird guy apparently. I drink maybe three bottles of soda a year, usually on a road trip. I don't see the attraction. Seltzer water does it for me.

Speaking of seltzer water, giving it to pets usually provides for a funny response. When my parents used to give their parrot seltzer water the bird "Sparky" would go nuts. My dog also does a double take when drinking the fizz.

Seltzer water I can only handle if I'm at a bar and I want to stop drinking for the evening but not leave yet. Otherwise the stuff is gross to me.

Tonic water 4 lyfe.

In most areas of Europe, they'll ask foreigners "bubble or no bubbles" as most water is carbonated.

Of course, to each his or her own, but the carbonation does aid in digestion. And for me, at least, spruces up water. I prefer it over club soda, which contains sodium bicarbonate, but I prefer both over tap water.

Me likey bubbles.

Interesting tidbit: due to the presence of sodium bicarbonate (aka baking soda) in club soda, it can be used in a pinch for quick and dirty heartburn relief.

Tonic water 4 lyfe.

Only with gin/vodka and lime.

That's the Walter White in me

I've also been known to tell people with tummy aches that they need "Pink Bismuth".


So right on the tonic water. For me, Quinine needs vodka and a lime.

Perfect vodka/gin and tonic:

1 pint glass (or larger glass of your choosing, no small drinks here) filled to the top with ice. Squeeze half a lime into it with a hand juicer. Rim the glass with said lime and drop it into the cup. Half liquor, half tonic water. Stir, and push lime underneath ice. Enjoy.

I'm enjoying a Karbach Weisse Versa beer right now while I surf the site. Cheers!
