Time for another touchy- feely get-to-know-you thread.

I drink at least a gallon of water a day, if not more. Seeing as I live in the desert, and I dehydrate easily, that's a good thing. I don't like anything carbonated, so I stay away form that kind of stuff.

As for alcohol, its just not my thing anymore. I’m wholly unpleasant when inebriated, so that is a state I try to avoid. I’m not a fan of beer cause its carbonated, or the hard stuff cause it (to quote Homer Simpson) tastes like burning.

In my period of experimentation, I found I could drink anything if it was mixed with chocolate milk. My favorite poison then was Wild Turkey, and I dubbed the drink ‘Cow Tipper’. I found that combination most pleasing.

Now that I’m actually of age, the thrill of it all is lost. I just don’t do it anymore, save the occasional bottle of wine with my girl.

Just sugar and tea. The difference is that the sugar is added while the tea is made (brew and steep the tea, pour the steep over sugar in a pitcher, mix well, add water to desired strength, chill), as opposed to unsweetened tea, where the sugar is added AFTER the tea has been brewed, diluted, and chilled.

It may seem like a minor quibble, but it makes all the difference in the world!

I go through about a gallon of tap water per day, chilled in pLastic jugs in the refrigerator. Some Diet Coke, mainly when I need caffein. When I eat out, various root beers, ginger ale, Mountain Dew (when I really need caffein), or Hawaiian Punch.

I only drink alcohol socially, and being such a hermit, I haven't had any since '93. I prefer red wine to white, sweet to dry. I like vodka screwdrivers, rum and coke, sloe gin fizz, and sangria. I don't like beer, and haven't drank it since I was a college freshman.

Weel I guess I'll post here too.....

I like sweet tea when I am working.
When I take of the demons
I like Texas tea (this is like a long Island tea but with teqiula.)
I like Bud Ice, Sol, and a beer from china.
When I want a desert, I like something chocalate and a Irish coffee.

Non-alcohoic:

-water (tap water kept in the fridge)
-Seagrams Ginger Ale, the best ginger ale ever made. I love this stuff.
-Surge (rarely)
-Orange and cranberry juice, whenever I'm thirsty, don't have any cold water ready, and don't want to waste a precious can of Seagrams.

Alcoholic:
-I LOVE white wine. Especially Johannesburg Reisling and Fume Blanc.
-If I go to a party (rare), I'll have whatever beer is available (nobody ever has wine). I only drink beer to loosen up so I can mingle and dance with hot females. If there aren't any, I won't drink. Well, in the future at least. I had 6 cans of beer at my High School graduation in June and did NOT feel good the next day.

I've never developed a taste for alcohol (I think I learned to hate alcohol from when my mother would give me whiskey and honey when I had breathing problems as a child) so I always drink non-alcoholic beverages.

I drink way to much caffeinated pop at work, mostly generic diet, just to stay awake. Doesn't taste too great, but it's better than nothing when the brain is trying to shut down at about two in the afternoon.

At home, mostly water and milk, sports drinks and some pop. When the temp passes 110 F, it doesn't matter as long as it's cold and wet.
