Nonalcoholic drink(s)

[Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984]

What is/are your nonalcoholic drink(s) of choice? Coffee, tea, soda, cola, water? Are there specific times when you prefer one over another?

 

Me? Coffee black, no sugar. Coke Zero.

Regular iced tea w/Sweet & Low as sweetener. I drink about two monster mugs of it in the morning as my caffeine drink. Water in the afternoon and night.

Frozen OJ made with club soda, Iced Tea and Orange Juice, Iced Coffee.

[Rye Miles #13621]

Coffee with a little cream or milk, water!  and  a nice cold soft drink on a hot day! Pepsi or Coke.

[Smokin Gator SASS #29736]

I like to make a big drink with cold lime essence club soda, lemon juice and a squirt of stevia. Kind of a lemon lime soda. Or regular icewater with the lemon stevia. Also Iced coffee with a little milk or cream.

[Stump Water]

Two cups of coffee w/sugar in the morning.  Water.  That's all that's in the house.

 

On the off chance that have something else when out it'll be half-n-half iced tea or Pepsi.

[Pat Riot]

Coffee, black, in the morning. 
 

Ice water, every day, all day, 3-4 or more quarts daily. 
 

About once a week I will have a Mountain Dew or a Pepsi. 

[Dantankerous]

In no particular order...

 

Coffee, black. Anything else in coffee (besides Jamison) ruins coffee.

 

Whole milk, cold.

Iced tea "sweetened" with Stevia. Look up aspartame some time. You'll never want anything with that stuff in it, (diet soda, Sweet & Low, ANYTHING artificially sweetened,) again.

I tried some of those powdered water flavor packets about 20 years ago. They made me feel ill. I thought it was the heat and humidity. It turned out to be the aspartame in the powder. Never again!

[Blackwater 53393]

Iced tea, sweetened with cane sugar or honey.  As a treat, now and then, a drop of raspberry or blackberry added.

 

I treat myself to a regular Coca Cola once in a while and occasionally a ginger ale.

 

I have had three separate dietitians tell me that the body handles cane sugar or honey far better than corn syrup as far as natural sweeteners go, so I try to avoid corn syrup.  I don’t use much of any sweetener for anything else but beverages and I avoid artificial sweeteners religiously.

 

I liked stevia, but it is difficult to get accurate measurements with the different brands.

 

I absolutely WILL NOT eat or drink ANYTHING that contains aspartame, sodium cyclamate, or saccharine!  All of these have been proven to be carcinogenic!!

 

Why take chances???

[Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438]

After years of guzzling Diet Cokes to the tune of 6-8 per day, I gave it up cold turkey.  I don't drink coffee or tea.  Water became my prime beverage, but got boring fast.  I use Sunkist drink powders (yes, they contain aspartame, but you've got to die from something eventually).  The flavor is great, and they are very convenient.

Sweet & Low does not contain aspartame, saccharine yes...but not aspartame.

Sodium Saccharine was one of the first artificial sweeteners found to be a cancer causing substance!

[Sam Sackett]

I don't disagree with that. Like Loophole stated, gotta die from something. At least it won't be sugar or aspartame!

Well maybe not anyway.

Coffee dark roast straight and as dark as my soul (if I had one )
Water 

[Lone Spur Jake SASS #7728]

Southern Comfort.  It was prescribed for me by my cardiologist after my quadruple bypass as one the best medicines to keep my arteries clean.  Alcohol works great on cleaning stuff!!!!!!   And it tastes great with some frozen water!!!!!
