A cold diet-mountin dew.... very very little alcohol since the service, I think I got my fill back in my younger days. Oh, on a real real hot day a nice iced glass of cold beer
but that's rare.. I stick to juice and diet dew.... Also less calories, at my age, no extra weight is welcomed.... http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/ima...ons/icon10.gif

just some ideas mac

coffee..coffee..coffee....is there anything else http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

I have found no other reason to drink alcohol than to get drunk, which I just don't like to do anymore...

interesting reading of all the drinking choices...... couple questions/comments

1) Is sweet tea the same thing as Ice Tea ??
2) hmmmm...SEIV players not big drinkers a correlation between the two??
3) apprarently Tequila is the only alcholic beverage that DOES NOT cause depression when intoxicated....being made from Guava plant (I think that's the right plant) gives it some special property.....
4) all the water drinkers seem to be "tap water" drinkers as oppossed to "bottle water" drinkers....I am surprised! all I see everywhere now is bottled water, bottled water blah blah (and such a ripoff to boot...)

Yeah, we disagree about Southern Baptists, but you're dead right about tea! I call that "real iced tea" as opposed to all other kinds. I never thought of it as Southern, though. That's just how my mom made it.

Bottled water is a ripoff! I can't understand why anyone would buy that crap. I work in a grocery store and you would be suprised how much of that stuff we sell. I live in a small town so selling over a fifty gallons a day is a lot. (You may think that number an exageration, but personally I think it may be a bit low)

It's crazy, bottled water is exactly the same stuff you get from the tap only it tastes worse becuase of all the **** they do to it. People are crazy.

Like I said, GRAVY!

Depends on where you live. Out here in the "Midwest" you will often find that a small community cannot get a decent water supply that isn't heavily contaminated with farm runoff. It may meet all the formal 'safety standards' but it still tastes like sh*t. Bring bottled water in from another city just 20 miles away or so and it tastes like regular tap water. For the community stuck with the 'fertilizer special' water source, that's GOOD water. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

But in many other cases, yeah, people are paying good money for a fancy label slapped on a bottle of tap water. &lt;shrug&gt;... http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif They also pay more for brand name cereal, vegetables, etc. It's the nature of human logic, I guess. Make it look spiffy and it must be valuable.

I think this is an old comedians joke but...
Evian Bottled Water is "naive" spelled backwards... http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

SWEET TEA!

I'm from Michigan, and that's the only way I ever knew tea--until some demented person introduced me to "real man's tea"--tasted more like real man's sock. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif That's about all I drink--up to a pitcher (2 1/2 qt.) every 24-36 hours, sometimes.

My mother was from a very small town in West Virginia (even small for WV) so I got treated to a LOT of interesting home remedies. Funny thing is, most of them worked better than what you can get at the drug store. (That is, if they didn't kill you first http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/ima...ons/icon12.gif )

well, im with you and im against you. I have seen some parts of town or some buildings with some truely nasty tasting tap water. in some cities is comes out murkey, and god, in Waco TX the stuff came out brown. Man I hated staying in that town. In Waco, I probably would not have bought that evian crap, but if I end up being stuck with those water conditions again, im either buying a few gallons of the distilled stuff, or bringing a filter.

now, filtered water usually tastes a bit cleaner than the stuff straight from the tap, and alot of people love their bottled or filtered stuff, but i say TOUGH IT OUT. If its not BROWN, drink the tap stuff. no wonder people have weak immune systems, the babies.
