Hey guys....on a serious note;

So I got this flavored water from our local grocery store (walmart) and as I was sipping it and looking at the ingredients it contained a chemical called aspartame. I asked my circle about it and got mixed responses but when I called my mother and asked her about it (because my stepdad drinks diet soda like a fish) she was like its bad, Google why. So I did. Horrified.

But she also told me that the USA is the only place in the world where the population DRINKS their calories. That is sort of troubling to me, to say the least.

So I wanted to ask all of you non-american citizens of the world....what do you drink besides just water or alcohol? (I don't drink alcohol)

I have it on good authority a lot of Russians and Aussies drink their calories too, but that is not an exhaustive list.

Aspartame is the devil, and is mostly used in things people who don't have any self-control refuse to give up.

That thread title sounded like you wanted us to become suicide bombers... Or douse ourselves in gasoline to end our existence in a blaze of agonizing glory at some sort of anti US demonstration...

Also, Coffee.

Do You know how to make a good Jager Coffee?

No?

Then I'll explain:

First you make one can of your favourite coffee, very strong, like extremely strong, like "I need to do lots of work so I wont fail final exams tomorrow" strong. Then pour it into a cup and put a penny in it. After that, pour Vodka or any clear Schnaps in the same cup until You can see the penny again. Big smile

Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

Fighting back is more fun than not.

Besides waster and alcohol, in Panama we gladly consume freshly bottled "Agua de Pipa" , and by fresh I mean its been bottled less than a day ago and will expire in less than 3 days, none of that canned stuff, we also drink "Chicha Saril" , I also enjoy severely "Horchata" , made from rice mostly, plus something I enjoy from my native Venezuela "Agua e´ Panela" which is made from the raw block of brown sugar cane and lemon juice , glug glug glug!

There´s never a shortage of sweet/delicious home brewed drinks in Latin America. Big smile

No I don't. And I quit drinking diet sodas with that poison in it, two decades ago.

Mainly just a plain water, but sometimes tea, coffe, juice (real), milk, or a home made raspberry or strawberry syrup with sparkling water. Syrups are made with ingredients that grow here beside the house in garden, I have planted strawberries couple of years ago and every year since that I have too much of them so i make syrup with a lot of sugar, very sweat so it doesn't spoil.
