Your beverage of choice

[Mackerni]

What is your beverage of choice? For a long time for me it has been soft drinks, aka soda, more specifically Pepsi-Cola. However, now that I'm living further out from places than I used to, I do less trips for things I run out of, like soda. I noticed that I had three concentrated flavor-enhancers in my cabinet while I was moving so I'm been using those. I have to admit, I think I've changed my mind about this.

There's various reasons why flavor-enhanced water is better than soda.

1. It tastes better
2. There's more variety of flavors
3. It's cheaper
4. It doesn't upset my stomach
5. Easier to carry
6. Cheaper Store brand is just as good
7. Healthier
8. It doesn't make you more thirsty
9. It can't go flat
10. I can control the intensity

I don't think I could quit soda altogether. I will still drink it if I'm in a fast-food restaurant. However, I think my all-around preferred choice and what I'm going to buy regularly for consumption is flavored water.

I have to admit though if it were a more widespread thing, I'd totally drink non-alcoholic ginger beer more often. I love that stuff. It can be over a dollar per 12 ounce can though. Ridiculous!

You forgot cheaper

Ehhm... my choice is water, but for pleasure and taste, even tho water works with me here sometimes, my choice is fresh juice. It was Mirinda Citrus and before that Mountain Dew for some time.

Speaking of water, we have an additive/flavor here called Kewra water. It is extracted from a flower well known in the Middle East. If added to fresh well mineral balanced water, it give a special taste. This extract is also used to season rice here.

Of course. You live in Saudi Arabia!

Mountain Dew is never the choice of drink for me. I don't drink it often and when I do, I'm usually disappointed.

Never heard of Kewra Water. Must look into it.

Woohoo

 

[Jedster]

Water is the best thirst quencher, nothing like pure water.
I have found this to be true in every place I have been to around the planet.

 

[David1967]

Definitely water.

 

[Father Heathen]

I would rather just drink water than anything with artificial sweeteners, due to the nasty aftertaste.

As I got older I thought it was just natural to quit soda. Went from drinking it everyday to only on the holidays or summer parties

Favorite Drinks
Fresh made Lemonade, which I make
Green Tea with honey and lemon (Arizona and such)

Homemade Iced tea with orange and lemon.

 

[SomeRandom]

Brandy and lemonade.
But since I can't be drinking all the time, Dr Pepper. I have a very odd hate love relationship with the Doctor. I just randomly developed the taste for it after hating it. Weird.

 

[Rival]

Caffè latte. Or Earl Grey.

 

[RRex]

Strong black tea with a bit of sugar.

 

[Twilight Hue]

Coffee.

 

[crossfire]

Coffee. I'm on a cold-brewed coffee kick right now.

 

[The Mormonator]

Natural spring water from Moab, Utah.

 

[Estro Felino]

I definitely like sodas...but not coke. My favorite is sprite

 

[Sees]

I like good beer and mead better than most drinks but spring water, homemade juice/smoothies, or some type of energy drink is what I have throughout the day.

 

[atanu]

Plain water.
Darjeeling/Oolong Gopal Dhara tea. It seems that the right flavour can be attained only by grace of God. But when the right flavour is attained, it is ambrosial.
Fresh lemon juice.

 

[Baladas]

Tea, water, and the occasional Yoohoo.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

Water
Tea
Rum
Jager
And the occasional Monster
