, posted Thu 11 Dec 16:56
OK, so I'm sitting here, drinking some Dasani, which is excellent water. Just got me thinking, what is your fav. drink(s)? Can be reg. drinks or alcoholic, doesnt matter.
And yes, I do not like the idea of buying bottled water and having such a basic requirement to live as water now being sold by huge companies, but damn, Dasani (along with Aquafina and Poland Spring) is some fine tasting bottled water.
I also am particular to any type of Gatorade ICE, Dr.Pepper, Vanilla Coke/Pepsi, Cherry Coke/Pepsi, coffee, and good beer (i.e. Sam Adams) not cheap ass beer (i.e. Bud Light - ugh~~)
Don't be shy now!

Tie between Five Alive and Wild Cherry Pepsi.
Although I have a high tolerance, I really don't like the taste of alcohol (the smell makes me nauseous).

I can't focus one only one particular favorite, but a trend among the drinks memorable to me is that they involve milk or cream of some sort. White Russians, Mudslides, and Irish Cream come to mind on the alcoholic end. On the non-alcoholic end, when I happen to be in a café, I do normally request drinks with lots of milk or soy milk involved, and I lean towards drinking tea brewed directly in milk.
Not all drinks have to have milk, though. I occasionally drink coffee. I like my coffee strong. REALLY strong. And black (though I'll drink with sugar occasionally). A few years back, I had a quintuple espresso: I got six hours of sleep that night and felt like I hadn't slept a wink -- my muscles were all sore too. Not that I didn't enjoy the drink when I had it, though.
... but, because these drinks can cost good money, I mostly just drink plain water: it's refreshing, cheap, and necessary. I drink it from the tap and through a filter.

>Fruit juices: grapefruit; pineapple
>Beer: Asahi Super Dry; Guiness
>Poser-alcohol: Hornsby's Hard Cider (God, I could drink a Double Gulp of this stuff in no time flat -- for those from the Deep South, a Double Gulp is a 64oz fountain drink from 7-11)
>Japanese soft drinks: Lesqua (Lemon-Squash); Melon soda; Calpis; Pocari Sweat; Ramune
I've been enjoying the new flavors of Jolt Cola -- not that they taste really great or anything (they don't taste bad, either), but it's nice to have a little variety when getting my hyperdose of caffeine and sugar. For those who haven't seen the different flavors, they are:
>Jolt Cola (the original brown beverage)
>Jolt Cherry Bomb (Jolt's answer to Cherry Coke / Pepsi)
>Jolt Citrus Climax (Jolt's answer to Mountain Dew, Storm, etc.)
>Jolt Orange Blast (Jolt's answer to Orange Slice, Orange Crush, Sunkist, etc.)
>Jolt White Lightnin' (it's a clear soda and I didn't read the label the first time so I assumed it was a 7-UP/Sprite kind of thing -- it's actually grape flavored)
>Jolt Red Eye (everyone started making red sodas a while back, so why not Jolt? the red does weird things with light, and reminds me of power steering fluid)
>Jolt Electric Blue (now everyone has to have a blue soda, I guess. the color's even more semi-luminescent than Red Eye -- makes me think of windshield wiper fluid)

I'm also a big fan of Dr. Pepper and go out of my way to try every "fake Dr." (generic- / supermarket-brand Dr. Pepper equivalents) I can find. There are many websites that document the "fake Dr." phenomenon (just run "fake dr. pepper" thru your favorite search engine) -- just ran across this one and I liked the layout (http://www.frenchboxing.com/dp/). I've seen a couple of websites with more photos (and a few that give good, detailed info on each beverage (such as regional availability) and even review and compare the flavors of the various "fakes." My Japanese buddy thought my Dr. obsession was sad, funny, and incomprehensible -- he hates the taste of Dr. Pepper. He jokingly refers to all Dr. sodas as "doku" [poison].
