I don't know the english word for it, but I want top concentrate on sugar liquid with C02 bubbles in it. Like Coca-Cola. Because Pepsi is the best! Nothing's like some bottles of Pepsi on a LAN, or a really cold one after school. So what do you think?

The word is soft drinks.
And it's too damn cold out here to think about cooling myself down any more. ;)
Try next summer.

My mate likes cream soda with milk, which tastes like fizzy milk and makes me want to throw! But he seems to enjoy it. The best drink has got to be free drinks, just go to a bar and pretend its your B-Day and.... well.... yay!

Water's the healthiest drink...

Wingfoot you don't know what real Guinness is. ;)
Everywhere in the world it tastes completely different.
Nothing beats an Irish Guinness.

Soft drinks try this one -
Fanta orange with a dash of lime and a dash of blackcurrent. Very refreshing :)

Wingfoot
Fri, 24th Nov '00, 7:27pm
well Fergus i guess you got me there. i have never been to Ireland, so i have never tasted a real Guinness.

there are a few good Irish pubs here in Chicago that pour a pretty damn good one though, but i have heard from friends that nothing compares. i'll have to slide on over there sometime, not only for the Guinness but to see land its self.

water is sweet. abosulutly one of my favorite ways to quench my thirst, although it certainly is not the healthiest drink out there. i am thinking anything with lots of vitamins in it would be heathier than water. its more like you need water to survive.

Fri, 24th Nov '00, 7:34pm
Thats what i meant! Yes it would be better to have drinks with vitmains in...stuff like orange squash is good also...

Don't get me wrong though, I'm no heavy drinker. I actually prefer various fruit juices. I think they are potentially the most healthful drinks.

Beer! And we have in Québec a lot of microbrewry who make excellent beer!

"La Maudite" "La Fin du Monde" "La blanche de Chambly" etc etc. These beer are about 8% alc.

mmm..

Yeah, Mollusken, I prefer Pepsi over Coke (will explain later), but my favorite beverage is a Coke product.

Dr. Pepper. It just has to be the best soft drink. Ever. Although a good Plum Wine is an excellent entertainment choice. How many of you folks who say that beer is best etc. are actually old enough to drink?

If you put a T-Bone Steak in a bowl of Coca-Cola, it will dissolve in two days. Ick.

And for the record: Pepsi is for kids and girls - flat and sticky-sweet. Coke is a man's drink. Bites your tongue like a hungry hooker. ;)

I must agree with Neverworlder on those last two statements.

Besides, all sodas are kids' drinks. Now, let's talk Kool-Aid.

Vodka? I prefer white wine and champayne...don't ask why i just do!

Sol'Kanar
Thu, 30th Nov '00, 4:10am
I drink just about anything. Not beer though, I don't like most beers. It's always "beer this beer that" it really doesnt appeal to me much. I like red wine. Or vodka. Or kool-aid too. Or kool-aid with vodka in it.

Sapiryl
Thu, 30th Nov '00, 7:39pm
Oh really?

And how often have you had vodka, wine, etc?

It seems to me, that besides our illustrious moderators, very few of us are old enough to drink. I myself am only 18 (19 in 2 weeks).

I myself have taking a liking to Everclear as of late.

As for beer: guiness, killians, heineken (sp?) are all decent. And of course labat blue and budweiser.

beer, or japanese vodka, nothing beats that.

Everclear? Christ almighty, just drink rubbing alcohol. I took a shot of that once. Once. Give me a nice clean vodka on the rocks with some lemon wedges crushed with sugar in the bottom of the glass. Man is that nice.

Incidently, that's a shot of Everclear, not rubbing alcohol. Though I doubt there's much difference going down.

Apple Juice is very good too.

Beer: Sleeman Honey Brown (I do enjoy Double X from Mexico with salt and lime as well)

Whiskey: Crown Royal (Glenfidich and Soda is good if you like sipping scotch)

Thirst quencher: have to agree with Gatorade (water is good too)

Anyone tried good ice wine? Nice for sipping after supper (just have to take out a double mortgage to afford it!)

Sapiryl
Tue, 19th Dec '00, 1:06pm
Actually, I prefer Poweraid to Gatorade. I just like the flavors better.

As far as wine, I like plum. A good, slightly chilled, Chinese plum wine. It's not that expensive, or prestigious, but it's sweet without being sickly so.

Since it's Christmas now, I've turned to "Julebrus", or "Christmas soft-drink" translated. I only drink the red one of course, not the orange one. Even if I have to travel a lot longer to get the red one. But my motorbike is fast. How fast I don't now, because the speedometer has never been fixed. I would guess about 65 km/t, and it is 14 (!) years old.

Hate Wine and Beer but I like Orange Juice. It's just great. And Apple Juice, and I like Watermelon, even though it's not a drink it's 97% liquid and I love Ribina. Anyone tasted that soft drink, it's fantastic.

I love vodka martinies, everclear is some seriuos stuff, and you're talking to someone who drinks a quart of absolute vodka a day (at least, i usually also have a few beers and a shot or two of tequila) and doesn't feel the least bit drunk. That is some good stuff.

I don't see the issue? It's perfectly valid to open old topics if you have something to add to them. I would say though that someone has re-opened the old name one whilst there is a new one going. That might be a bit over the top.

Anyway, on topic:

Going out: Beer.
At home: Milk or Tea. I don't drink alcohol at home as a rule. I do go out a lot though...
For work: Coffee (got to keep awake you know)

See, I was always afraid to re-open old topics, so you're my hero.

Alcoholic beverages: Margaritas, Prarie Fire, wine, sake, Barenjager, hard cider, and mead. I want to brew mead so bad.

Non alcoholic: Tea. I love tea in all incarnations, hot, cold, Asian, British, green, black, flavored, and anything in between.

I won't, however, drink that nasty brown fluid that Nestea and Lipton try to foist upon us, claiming that it's brisk.

I like FruitWorks. Tons of sugar in that stuff. :) I also like almost any kind of root beer.

Sprite

What? What? This is an old topic? :wail:

I got all excited seeing the juxtaposed posts about "Sprite" and "all of us here love beautiful women". But, since I now realise they were posted before I arrived, I guess I *don't* have a fan club after all... :(

I love beer. I don't like soft drinks much but root beer is OK- although maybe just because it has "beer" in the title! My favorite non-alcoholic drink is Perrier.

Oh, a reanimated topic - and it only smells slightly rotten :D

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeell, then :D
non-alcoholic: A very cool Coke on a very hot day from a glass-bottle (no bloody Pepsi :flaming:) is extremely refreshing - though then even pure water is wonderful ;) Iron Bru and turkish Uludag are definitely weird! And the best soft drink anyway is either green-yasmine tea or 1st flush SFTGFOP with scottish water.

alcoholic: Kölsch beer is always nice, especially under the circumstane that can make me enjoy a coke. I also like a wide variety of other german and czeck beers plus a few dutch, french and belgian beers. English and irish beers, though a completely different kind of brew, are nice too. Red wine is great just like scotch - there I prefer Talisker, Laphroaig, Highland Park and others ... unfortunately I can only rarely afford them :(

hard drinks: Coffee is absolutely awesome, a little corrosive though ... :hahaerr: :mommy:

As far as alcohol goes, I'm not much of a big drinker. I really dislike all wines and spirits I've tried, and I'm not all that hot on the weaker drinks either. I like sweet cider, and quite like the lagers everyone is fond of saying aren't real drinks. I tried a few stouts (Beamish and Guiness) and found them interestingly different, but they seem like a bit of an acquired taste to me. Generally I prefer soft drinks, which are what this topic is about anyway. I go for Irn-Bru and a variety of lemonade type drinks - I don't really have the subtlety of taste to tell different brands of the same kind of drink apart. Oh, and also tea. I don't go in for fancy stuff - I have no taste- Tetley teabags do me just fine.
The reason I don't like many alcoholic drinks is probably because I've not been drinking long. I only turned eighteen in December, and before that I was apprehensive about being caught drinking underage.

I prefer (non-alcoholic anyway) pepsi over anything else..but will drink pretty much any soft-drink.
Now alcoholic well...no beer, very bad taste(accidently tired it once when little--about4-5--..will never have it again). No boxed wine (another example of bad taste while younger). Scottish Whiskey is pretty good, if you dont try to down the whole bottle on the first try anyway. Im kind of suprised no one has said Crown and Coke, or some other soft-drink, that is pretty good to, also good with Mountain Dew.

/me begins to wonder about further drinking habits, considering hes only 16... :confused:

I had a friend that started drinking whiskey at that age. The first time we drank together him and I drank a bottle of Southern Comfort in 2 hours! This was my first whiskey exp at 20, and I spent the rest of the night in the toilet pukeing nothing(DRY HEEVES). He was fine and dealt with my mother who was looking for me at 4 in the morning.He's been dead for a few years now from a DUI Accident:angel:

Well, I forgot to mention tea as well, but I am a bit choosy when it comes to tea :)
I especially love green tea, with a hint of mint, withh lots of sugar. And never milk. Never.

Starting drinking, as in alcoholic beverages, before you're legal is pretty easy. I mean, I've been able to buy my own drinks in a bar since I was 14, and, actually, when I was 12, I bought a bottle of Koskenkorva, which is defined as "hard stuff", for my cousin from a liquor store...

Drinking is okay, when one keeps common sense in the game. :)

Hmph. Only around 3 or 4 tea-drinkers around here. I really enjoy tea; it's quick, cheap, and healthy (I've taken to at least 3-4 cups a day). I also like plain ol' water and the occassional soft drink. I never really intend to drink liquor except a glass of wine everyone now and then.
