Your favorite non-alcoholic beverage?

I had Arnold Palmer mix and I could drink like 6 gallons of that stuff over the course of my awake hours of the day and night on weekends

My friend's wedding reception had a bunch of those for the kids but kids didn't really drink many of them. So me and my friends decided to have a Capri Sun drinking race on the dance floor. I think the photographer got a picture of it.

Pics or it didn't happen. o.o Nah, thats pretty awesome though. I buy stuff like that every once in a while. Just sucks trying to actually use it as a drink for like a meal or something. You get like 2 drinks and it's finished. Well, I do anyway. My drinks are more like... gulps. xD

I know how you feel Zavryn. I drink pretty quickly too.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sat Dec 13, 2014 3:39 pm

I tend to do that as well which is why I'm trying to cut back on it.

Ya'll just need to start drinking something that isn't bad in large amounts. Like water.

I drink coffee in the mornings on occasion, and most of the time I'm fine, but sometimes it really doesn't agree with me for some reason and I end up feeling like crud till I eat. The last time it happened I was actually getting cold sweats and cramping like crazy. I had to take an early lunch that day because I was afraid that I was going to pass out. Thankfully I felt fine after a trip to Panera Bread.

I'm thinking of switching to apple juce or something. I like it a lot and don't drink it nearly enough. I'll need to look into how much sugar is in the popular brands, because I don't want a lot.

I drink water sometimes. Though I can't really get over how tasteless it is.

Douglas Collier · Post by **Douglas Collier** » Sun Dec 14, 2014 12:19 am

I drink water more than other drinks, but still probably not as much as I should.

Punchy · Post by **Punchy** » Sun Dec 14, 2014 6:35 am

I don't like drinking water, I mostly just drink orange or cranberry juice.
And I can't stand coffee, it smells good, but I prefer tea.

I also hate fruit punch.

Zavryn · Post by **Zavryn** » Sun Dec 14, 2014 8:18 am

I'm like addicted to soda (which isn't good). Well more like the caffeine. Trying to weed my way out of it by drinking tea. But I still crave it every now and again.

I feel like I need to force myself to drink water. I'm just so attracted to everything that's bad for me XD

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sun Dec 14, 2014 2:52 pm

That is usually the allure of bad stuff you know. That you want it because it isn't good for you.

Cesco · Post by **Cesco** » Sun Dec 14, 2014 8:25 pm

What you drink is just plain tap water? I don't like to drink it too! What about mineral water? I can't stand without it.

As said, I always choose mineral water above any other kind of drink: when it's cold it's refreshing, is nice feel its bubbles popping on the tongue and I like it also more carbonated.

I drink from 1 to 2 litres of it everyday.
I like both coffee and tea (only lemon flavoured), but I don't drink them so much. I prefer a lot more the second one, it's the best cold on summertime.

Well my mother has a filter pitcher thing that supposedly filters out impurities in the lowly backwater state of Rhode Island's water supply. I can't taste a difference.

One sister is addicted to Coca-Cola. The other one like Kool-Aide.

You should not drink large amounts of water, that's not good for you. Water intoxication is a thing.

JeffCvt · Post by **JeffCvt** » Tue Dec 16, 2014 9:29 pm

I didn't mean it like that. Like... drinking one can of soda every now and then won't hurt you. But drinking 5 a day will. But 5 glasses of water a day will not.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Wed Dec 17, 2014 1:18 am

I only drink three glasses of soda a day and the other three are water or chocolate milk.

Post by **Sleet** » Wed Dec 17, 2014 10:18 pm

That's still quite a lot of soda.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Thu Dec 18, 2014 3:22 am

I know it is, but I take fiber and I can't stand the taste of water.

deepskycyan · Post by **deepskycyan** » Thu Dec 18, 2014 11:48 am

Can't stand the taste of water? That is possibly because drinking flavoured drinks all the time makes it harder for water to compete. When there is an option between sodas and water, it may seem that the sugary beverage wins out every time. But if you try drinking nothing but water for a while and you may find your 'need' for sweetness decreasing.

Same with me. I have a horrible addiction to cola for some reason. It's not that I don't like water, but it's hard to compete.

Beagle · Post by **Beagle** » Mon Dec 22, 2014 3:10 am

I've significantly cut down on my soda intake in the last five months. We have a history of diabetes in my family and I've been on the path to losing weight so I did it for my health. (I still drink soda, but I try to stay away from ones with high sugar.) I drink tap water because I'm a hardcore cheap college student (who is trying to take better care of herself).

That being said, I love Crystal Light's pink lemonade water flavoring packets. Those things are awesome.

Post by **Sleet** » Mon Dec 22, 2014 11:13 am

Wait, what sodas don't have high sugar? Other than ones with zero, of course.

SergeiTheFox · Post by **SergeiTheFox** » Mon Dec 22, 2014 11:24 am

I usually drink a Monster, Full Throttle, or an Amp every day. I know energy drinks are bad, but they help me concentrate.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Mon Dec 22, 2014 4:49 pm

Have you tried that 5-Hour Energy stuff?

Deske · Post by **Deske** » Mon Dec 22, 2014 6:01 pm

5-hour energy doesn't seem to work on some people as well as it does on others. Also I can't remember how much they cost off the top of my head but a pack of monsters might be cheaper per bottle.

SergeiTheFox · Post by **SergeiTheFox** » Mon Dec 22, 2014 6:23 pm

I can't stand 5-hour energy. I don't like the way it tastes, it gives me awful headaches, and it doesn't even give me energy.

JeffCvt · Post by **JeffCvt** » Mon Dec 22, 2014 6:29 pm

5 Hour Energy costs either $2.49 or $2.99 each depending on where you get them. They also have them in 4 and 6 packs that bring the cost down to more around $2.00 a piece. The Extra Strength ones of course are a little more expensive.

If you can't tell by my ability to price them from memory, I use them on occasion.

Not that often though, maybe one or two every other month. They're great for me when I have long periods of pretty much constant work and no downtime other than sleep for about a week.

I also always keep one in my truck so if I ever feel sleepy when driving alone, I have something to wake me up.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Tue Dec 23, 2014 12:11 am

I keep a bottle of Sprite in my car to wake me up if that happens.

Douglas Collier · Post by **Douglas Collier** » Tue Dec 23, 2014 12:18 am

Deske · Post by **Deske** » Tue Dec 23, 2014 12:36 am

Apply pie juice sounds weird. But it also sounds like something I'd want to try.

The awful headache is probably because of the artificial sweetener.
Artificial sweeteners give me terrible migraine headaches and makes my stomach hurt.

Kitela · Post by **Kitela** » Tue Dec 23, 2014 7:35 am

Those 5 hour energy shots caused my heart race and made me sweat profusely. Not having one again.

I find myself going in and out of energy drink consumption habits. I need hydrating drinks most of the time due to my jobs, but Amp energy drinks are my number one choice of drink when I'm studying.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Tue Dec 23, 2014 4:41 pm

Yes I admit it does sound a bit appetizing but I don't think I would be interested.

Deske · Post by **Deske** » Tue Dec 23, 2014 10:07 pm

I remember once during sophomore spring break, I had 4 Rock star energy drinks in the span of 2 hours. I had also proceeded to not sleep but two hours the night before. There's nothing quite like seeing the effect of light reflect off the vessels in the back of your eye. Also, the shadows moved. I do not over do staying up or energy drinks anymore. I still drunk them every once in a while though.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Wed Dec 24, 2014 2:46 am

I should try to have some energy drinks sometime.
