If Alaskan counts (and I believe it should), we drink more coffee than we do water.

There are roadside drivethru coffee houses everywhere, and if you have a dog in the car with you they will give you a free dog treat with your coffee.

One of ours, ten of theirs.

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)


Water and Alcohol?


Well Coffee and tea are widely popular beverages across the world as well.


Which, technically, are just flavored water with some caffiene, and maybe some anti-oxidants, for good measure Big smile

Hey!

Its not our fault you lot cant make a good brew. We gave you lots of tea but you lot got all confused and tried to brew it in the port. To this day you serve tea in cold water and without a drop of milkSad


That is a stereotype, just saying. There are plenty of US citizens that drink tea like their Briitish ancestors.

Tea... Assam or Everyday usually... Always Twinings...

And before anyone asks, yes I am British...

Quoted from Doc Fury: "Concerned citizens: Doc seldom plays EVE on the weekends during spring and summer, so you will always be on your own for a couple days a week. Doc spends that time collecting kittens for the on-going sacrifices, engaging in reckless outdoor activities, and speaking in the 3rd person."

I will extinguish your curiosity: look here for technical graph. All you need is berries, sugar, and water, you need to use fruits that taste good, you can find good looking fruits in shop but I noticed they don't taste as good like the home grown ones. They may be pumped with water, very colorful and all looking well, but they can be completely devoid of essential aroma from those smaller, uglier ones that you can see in your garden.

Milk, tea, Julmust (When available), Coca-Cola (but not even close to the quantities I drank as a teen), Apple juice and Red Bull.

I guess having a cuppa in the Cotswolds is about as British as things can get. Big smile

I actually don't drink any hot beverage nor alcohol, so it comes down to sparkling water (selters), Fritz-Kola (german brand cola with lemon and high coffein content) and regular ice tea (earl grey iced tea)

I drink a glass of water everynight.

Except for coca cola, i try to drink or eat every natural thing, that means, mineral water, sugar, butter, etc..


Aspartame causes cancer (the aromatic propertyes of the aspartame molecule are responsible of this), its present in many sweeteners, so i just consume normal sugar.

Also, the normal drink, tea, cofee, milk, cofee with milk and tea with milk, if i have chocolate, then chocolate with milk, or cofee made with mineral water :D

While i like to drink rum, vodka, tequila and pisco, im very bad to drink beer, the unique beer i drink is a honey flavored Kunstmann, but well...

In most cases, artificial sweeteners taste fairly "wrong" to me. There's only very few artificial sweetener combos which I can tolerate with my taste buds.

I won't touch a soda unless I'm mixing it with alcohol. I really don't consume sugar unless it's Swiss chocolate, something baked, or in tea. I avoid drinking caffeinated beverages as much as I can. (Coffee, rarely 2 cups a year.)

Great advice is to stay the hell away from Aspartame or DIET labels.

Eat balanced meals, exercise and you can avoid developing caffeine addictions, diabetic or overweight problems and sickness.

Did you try putting beer in it? :>

Here in Britain I drink water and fruit juice. People also drink Coca-Cola, and a bunch of other soft drinks that are allegedly made with fruit. Tea & coffee are popular too. Some people drink milk, though I don't so much.

Blatant alt posting? In my EVE? It's more likely than you think.

According to my Aunt what most Americans call Tea is actually just warm, insipid dish-water.
