OT: Favourite soft drink.

[Redlight]

fresh brewed sweet iced tea. Can't live without the stuff. From my travels I gather that its a southern drink (southeastern US).

Edit: Just remembered this is a favorite soft drink thread.

I have to say Mountain Dew or Welchs Grape.

FYI: in the south all sodas are reffered to as Coke. Im not joking. Example:

Mom: You want a coke?

Me: Yeah. whatcha got?

Mom: Dr Pepper and Mountain Dew

Me: MD

Yeah...... sweet tea will probably be the death of me but Im okay with that. I seriously keep a gallon in the fridge at all times.

Well, as long as it's fresh right?

Yup. Its gotta be fresh. None of the bottled or canned junk.

It's got to be this, not sure if this is outside of the UK but I drink gallons of the stuff. Best hangover cure in the world other than my other favourite drink, as mentioned, a good cup of tea!!!! My Saturday/ Sunday days usually consist of alternating my intake of the two!!!!

Yeah, fresh iced tea can be quite nice. I think about a year or two ago during the summer I quite regularly made some on the basis of south-american maté. I brewed it like tea (obviously using way less of the stuff than you would need for the original ritual where you "re-brew" it many times), then poured it on ice cubes to cool it down quickly and afterwards added fresh lemon juice and a bit of syrup (at first I used elderflower, then grenadine when that bottle was empty). Thinking about it, that was quite a nice beverage - and had a nice caffeine buzz to it as well.

Another BIG contributor to my Diabetes.

Hence why when combined with a bacon sandwich it catapults you out of a hangover so fast due to the massive sugar and salt content!!! Probably out of the frying pan into the fire in some way but I hate hangovers and it makes me feel better!!!

Bad news on the diabetes mate, exact same thing happened to a friend of mine but his was due to his massive Haribo, doughnuts and chocolate intake!!!

Yeah, with a bad hangover you totally need some kind of beverage with lots of sugar and some caffeine - sadly that usually worsens the whole heartburn issue which is no fun either
