Food What are you drinking right now?

No. It's

Y'all tawk fuhneee.

 

Diet lemon lime soda, with diet tonic water, and lemon juice.

Just finished a cup of hot tea, spiced chai.

 

That's the way I like it too...

 

Mic Ultra is not bad for about the first 10 minutes. Once it starts to warm, though, it makes my craft beer heart cry a little.

 

Franziskaner....Weiss beer..... (nothing else comes close, well, if I'm desperate I'll have a Blue Moon...or maybe even a Shocktop....but any other ...no way.)

 

Bud light

 

Diet soda is probably the worst thing you can drink .....healthwise...
I just cant drink plain water, so we have a SODA STREAM, then I add some Cranberry/Apple juice.only about a 1/4 mix

 

Worse than sugared soda?

The problem I have with the very lightly flavored sodas and flavored water is they taste like a glass of soda with lots of ice that was left too long and most of the ice melted.

 

Worse than sugared soda?

I don't know,........anyone ?

 

Depends on how you classify "worse"... Chemicals or pure sugar? The carbonation makes me feel weird. Diet soda was once found to increase appetite and cravings in some studies if I remember correctly. I drink zevia if I want a soda. I had a 6 Coke Zero a day habit for a year... The 24oz bottles. I felt like crap.

 

I drink soda, Sprite, about once every few weeks when I have a slice of pizza....comes with the slice $3.50...
OOPS, I lie, also with a hot dog at Costco...about every 3 weeks hot dog...soda....poison
Holy smokies, that's about 4 sodas a month....not to mention the Pizza and Hot dog.....OMG, I'm gonna'die....
come to think of it I've been doing that for the last few years and at 81 (next week) I think I won't worry....

 

Haven't had one of these since I was little.

 

Sodas certainly aren't healthy. My thinking is there are many people who "automatically" get a soda with the "meal deals" offered by fast-food restaurants.

I know folks who complain about putting on weight because they pretty much have to eat on the run. I tell them if fast food is what best fits your schedule, try ordering just the burger/sandwich (try grilled chicken instead of breaded & fried, or ground beef, and order the one that contains at least some fresh veggies), skip the soda and fries. It's not the healthiest solution, but it helps if you find yourself frequently hitting the drive-thru.

 

That's something I forgot to mention. Getting just the sandwich, instead of the meal deal bundle, and a courtesy cup of water saves money as well.

When I worked as a field rep while going to college (paying my own way) I learned a few little tricks to save money when forced to "eat out" Mon-Fri. I was truly sad when Wendy's did away with the $2.99 all-you-can-eat salad bar. I got re-reimbursed for parking, but had to pay for it first. I absolutely hated being sent to the Texas Medical Center because the parking costs would empty my college-student wallet.
