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

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.

Hrmmm. Water, various juices, fruit punch, teas, colas, 'ades, and sometimes milk. Nothing alcoholic, 'tho.

Hey Noble...I thought the idea was that the number of hot females at a party was directly proportional to the number of beers drunk...so the only way there would not be any hot females at a party would be either you ran out of beer or all the females left

Anyways..number #1 drink for me is the sweet tea...southern style. I agree these people up north have no clue on what good tea is. If that isn't available...I guess it has to be Pepsi, and not the lead free stuff either.

My dad would never drink water, it was a quart of corn whiskey a day or coffee. He would say if a nail could rust in a cup of water, just think what it's doing to your stomach...never said he was too bright but he did live to almost 80 yo.

Well being Australian I drink lots of Australian beers like Tooheys Extra Dry and Crown Lager. (Fosters is 'Export' quality, we don't touch the stuff here).

On a recent trip to Bali I drank lots of the local brew, an exceptional pilsener called Bintang. At $1AUD the price was damn excellent (thats about $0.50USD) too.

If I'm up for a big night a drink lots of Scotch (mixed with dry ginger ale) and Russians (Vodka + Kahlua with either Coke or milk). The Russians will screw with my brain but the scotch I'll drink til 4am and still be fine (although I will wake up really drunk the next afternoon).

If I'm coming back from overseas I'll get a litre of better scotch (21 years Chivas or Johnny Walker Blue) and I'll drink that at home with ice.

At work I'll drink the boss's prefered choice of VB (cause he fills up the fridge with em). VB is probabaly the Australian baseline beer.

So there's my brief summary of what I drink.

Cheers,
Askan

Lots and lots of extra-strong cappachino's. That's my way of surviving university.

now thats just ingenious. i bet it worked too. I have never heard of that being used as a remedy, but that is about 99% of what goes into most modern throat elixers such as Vicks, Nyquil, or Robotusen (did i spell those right? oh well.. do i ever spell anything right?)

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....

just some ideas mac
