For me, I like iced tea! Regular, unsweetened.
Stone Imperial Russian Stout or Arrogant Bastard Ale. Or any other good quality beer, for that matter.
But on an average day, we just have a Goose Island variety pack in the refrigerator. Mix it up with occasional Pilsner Urquell, Fat Tire, or Sam Adams.
I like coffee and water as alternatives. ;)
Tea of all kinds (I generally order from Republic of Tea but there are some smaller companies that have some custom teas that I like the flavour of as well). 3 cups a day. And Jager.
Milk or Chocolate milk would be at the top for me, but some nice ice cold water is my choice on many occasions. I am also partial to Vanilla Coke and Cherry Coke, and just about any Mt. Dew, though I drink a lot less of those these days since I am trying to get off of the soda completely.
Water and tea for the most part, occasionally have Kool-Aid, juice, and milk.
I used to drink a lot of loose tea. It is getting harder to find it in any stores, even specialty stores that carry a lot of Republic of Tea products. They might have a loose green and some absurd fruity thing or another that I won't drink, and that's it. :)Quote:

A tea press comes in handy in such circumstances that you've got hot water at work. A coffee press doubles as tea press if you aren't a snob about it.
Pepsi or Cherry Pepsi. Of course I enjoy many other drinks as well, Kool-aid, iced tea and Oj for a few.
Yeah I order online exclusively now.Quote:

On the subject of tea, has anyone had matcha? A sampler came but I'm not really sure if I want to try it.
I like Cranberry Juice, Ginger Ale and of course water. I also like to drink different types of chamomile tea and I don't drink anything with caffeine. :P
Tinned Capri Sun and Ramun soda:

Ramun isn't too hard to come by, but haven't seen any tinned Capri Sun in years (everyone just sells the inferior packet type).
Ramune, they offer at Japanese restaurants.
Manhattan with Jim Bean Bourbon and Sweet Vermouth!
love caprisun specially in a hot summer day.would love to try ramune but i dont life in japan sooo...Quote:

I didn't know about that type of Capri Sun packaging.
Way cool, how does someone get their hands on those tin packings?Quote:

For me Unsweetened Ice Tea is God's drink. My favorite is probably Tejava. But also like Golden Peak, Trade Winds, and Trader Joe's Black Ice Tea.
2. Its a tie between Skim Milk and Water.
As you can tell I like really neutral drinks.
As far as Soda and the like:
1. Cherry/Raspberry/Lime Coke
2. NOS or anything with taruine in it
3. Guarna and Black Currant based drinks
Question, does drinking tea and loving RPGs/Japanese games go hand in hand? I'm starting to see a pattern here lol
If it does go hand in hand, I am an anomaly. Even just the smell of tea in most cases makes me wretch. Though to be fair, when I am under the weather, a nice honey lemon tea is amazing.Quote:

On the alcohol end, I normally like a martini with gin and french vermouth. I'll also take a neat whisky if the brand is decent, if I'm going cheap it would be a whisky sour.
I can't drink that much milk. I'm not lactose intolerant but my body does not like too much milk.
Milk is amazing, there was a time in my life where I drank about 3/4 of a gallon a day. When I was a kid, my dad wouldn't let us drink milk between meals, only water. When I left for college, and could drink all the milk I wanted because of my meal plan, I drank a lot. I even challenged my bro to a gallon challenge. About 2/3's to 3/4 of the way through, he lost it. I wasn't doing great before that; and when I heard/saw him lose it, all 2/3's of that gallon came out in under 2 seconds. I didn't drink any milk for almost a month after that, and cut my consumption down after that. In spite of this, chocolate milk is still my favorite drink, and regular milk a close 2nd.
It's been scientifically proven that adult humans are not geared to metabolize whole milk, and that it's an ancient genetic mutation that stems from people of certain European descent. That, and milk's sole purpose is to make babies grow quickly, and no other mammals drink another animal's milk.Quote:

@Z, milk is also found in a sizable amount of dishes. I mean its all but required in many forms of baking, plus anything with cheese has by definition milk.
The cats who used to live across the street would've laughed at that. When a dog had a litter of puppies over there, she'd let the kittens feed, too. After maturing quite a bit they'd still be interested in feeding while she was still able to give milk.Quote:

That's not really uncommon, though. Many orphaned animals who show up, are put with a very motherly-to-anything animal.
To get back on topic, coffee. Dr. Pepper, Fuze iced tea, orange Crush, or cocoa on occasion, but I mostly just stick with a hot cup of coffee.
I'm just speaking generally. Under normal circumstances, wild dogs and cats would kill each other. Yeah, other domesticated animals do this but it's not common.Quote:

I got the same issue too :/. In my case when I'm gonna eat something that requires milk (serial) or I'm gonna cook/bake something that requires milk I use Almond milk. Tastes great and it's a perfect substitute :PQuote:

I guess us European folk really must be descended from Ancient Aliens. We have hair that ranges from black to blonde to red, light colored eyes, we tended to be extremely pale (despite many groups living at similar latitudes being of a darker tone) and we drink tasty milk.
But in all seriousness, you cannot compare people to the rest of the animal kingdom we just have too many factors like speech, culture, etc. that remove us from comparisons with our closest relatives.
Who here likes Vegetable juice? I like that, but in very limited antiquates, and many as an excuse to get some greens in my diet.
I've never seen or tasted Vegetable Juice lol I only know that it exists thanks to the Miku song and I've heard of tomato juice. Does it taste good? What's it like? :PQuote:

I would not put it in my top 15 or so drinks, but I drink it now and then.
V8? I've had that, but I don't believe I've tasted full vegetable juice, I think I've only drank orange carrot. Thanks for the heads up, it seems like something curious to try out. (I used to have tomato soup every day XP)Quote:
