lmgervais Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Was just wondering what people prefered to drink. (Tried to set it up as a poll, but that didn't seem to work :groucho: ) So, do you prefer Pepsi or Coke, regular or diet, or other? If you respond 'other' can you please specify what type of soda pop you prefer, please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinyJudi Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Coffee and Sweet Tea. I am a northener living in the south. :groucho: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doogster Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Beer, here in Utah it's pretty much soda pop. :groucho: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pastalinda Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Diet Pepsi, but usually like a nice glass of ice water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amyinOR Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Blue Moon beer, but usually just water. I don't drink soda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantail Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I like most adult beverages (except scotch)! Don't drink coffee, but have my pepsi out of coffee cup first thing in the morning. Lately I have been in a grape crush mood, and drink alot of tea...NOT sweet! :groucho: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfwhitson Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Coffee, Coke, MILK. Not much else maybe a beer once in a while if we eat out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christinee Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I thought this was about alcoholic beverages! LOL I drink "only" Coke Zero and flavored seltzer (diet). For between meals, I drink Crystal Light or any of the other powdered sugar free drink mixes I pick up at Wal Mart. I have a cup of coffee in the morning and "sometimes" one in the afternoon. Once in a while (2-3 times a month) I'll have an alcoholic drink (too many calories/sugar). Then it's either amaretto and milk over ice, or Baileys.

Wolfie Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Other. Coffee, Chinese tea, and Soda Club sodas of all flavors..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackiem Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I like my coke, but have switched to diet cherry pepsi, it is the only diet pop I sort of like, and I can no longer afford the calories in regular coke! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grazhina Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 No beer, no diet sodas, no coffee (gives me a headache), rarely a glass of wine or mixed drink, otherwise I'm fine with whatever catches my fancy at the time or is at hand. I do like Fiji water, though. When I drink lots of water it starts to taste bad to me, no matter if it's tap or bottled. That's when I open a bottle of Fiji water. I quit drinking milk many years ago. I wonder why? I used to drink gallons of the stuff, then I just didn't have any desire to drink it anymore.

pjnick54 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I drink a cup (or two) of Carnation Instant Breakfast every morning - heated up so it's like hot chocolate. Then water the rest of the day. IF I drink anything else throughout the day, it's a swallow or two of Cherry Pepsi. On the rare occasion I have an alcoholic drink (hmmmm not sure how long that's been....) it's a Fuzzy Navel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hallowell Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Lime Diet Pepsi, microbrewery beers, whiskey w/gingerale. :groucho: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaret Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I love coke products but am drinking pepsi because it was on sale.Like tea,iced tea,chocolate milk-don't drink alcohol except for an occasional Vodka cooler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miniwendy Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 water!! But for soda, I drink Diet Pepsi. Of course, I'm originally from the Southern U.S., where it's all "Coke" no matter what kind of soda pop it is!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intrinsicat Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I have to agree with Amy with regard to alcoholic beverage - i love Blue Moon Ale! As far as daily - Diet Coke... but I've switched to Caffeine free for the most part... And I also agree that there is something about Fiji water... it is SO much better than any others... and I've been to the Berkeley Springs Water Tasting event! :groucho: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdlnpeabody Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Blue Moon beer, but usually just water. I don't drink soda. I've got a few of those left in the refridgerator, but nothing beats an Irish Carbomb (Bailey's and Jameson Irish whiskey in a shot, dropped into half a pint of Guinness). I don't drink them very often, but good stuff. If its non-alcoholic, Ginger ale or water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 We stopped drinking sodas about ten years ago, too much salt & sugar. Coffee, tea, LOTS of lovely water (our well goes down to the FL Aquifer) and occasionally a half-shot of bourbon & branchwater, provided the bourbon is aged single-barrel; if it doesn't taste/ smell like caramel I don't waste my tastebuds.

avidcrazyquilter Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 iced tea decaf with regular sugar. If I get bored with tea I will drink a Dr. Pepper or Root beer, juice or just about anything for a change, but not often. No alcohol, too many alcoholics, non practicing ,in the family to tempt them.

Bree1978 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Water, Diet Dr. Pepper (or walmart's diet dr. thunder whichever I get), Coors Light, water. That is what I drink each day, in that order. I like repetition and a schedule. 2-1-3-3 Sometimes the number don't exactly match, but that is roughly it. OOPS, I do drink coffee in the morning with it....sometimes one cup sometimes 3...this eliminates the Dr. Pepper if I am on the higher side. I get quite edgy with too much caffeine. I drink the water with the coffee, so I didn't think of it right away.....I make the coffee for my husband, so I drink it. If he wasn't around, I probably wouldn't bother.

lmgervais Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 This is turning out to be so fascinating! I do know that in Canada we call 'pop' what the US calls 'soda'. Here, soda usually just means soda water. I prefer regular Coke above any other soda-pop, but also like other kinds. My favourite drink is a big glass of 2% milk! Also like decaf tea, double cream, double sugar. Can't drink alcohol because even a tiny bit has always affected me, and now I take too much medication. DH likes a glass of red wine on the weekends, especially when he is cooking, or Sleeman's beer. If he drinks pop at home, whatever kind it is is often spiked. Kids like various kinds - we usually have at least 4-5 kinds in the basement fridge, even though we usually only let them drink one on the weekend.

Here, soda usually just means soda water. Actually here in NW OHIO most people say POP. However, I have a half sister that is 'southern' and used to make fun of me for calling it that. So....I started using the word soda. I think it sounds nicer anyways, softer and more gentile, probably why a lot of southerners call it that, historically speaking...lol.

pjnick54 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I've always called it POP - I'm sure I always will. I grew up south of Chicago - do ya s'pose that has anything to do with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bree1978 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Yes, I think northerners call it POP and southerners call it soda. At least that is what I got out of it, having family in both regions. I'm actually not that far from canada...only about an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdeer96 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I usually drink about 2 pots of coffee in the morning, a Dr. Pepper for lunch and 2 more pots of coffee in the afternoon till I get off work and when I get home its nothing but Dr. Pepper till I go to bed. Then I start it all over again the next day. But, on the weekends, I only have 1 pot of coffee then its on to the Dr. Pepper till bedtime. Can we say "Caffine addict"? Hello, My name is Jeremy. I am a Caffineaholic. :groucho: :lol: :no: (They don't have one for Dr. Pepper? It should be a crime.) Want to know the irony to all of the caffine I take in? I am still tired throughout the day. -_- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
