Coca cola

[Brigadier]

Some of the people with whom I swim outdoors used to drink the stuff to "stop them getting the squits".

As stomach acid has a far lower pH than the old two-stroke though, that old wives' tale doesn't stand up to close examination.

Dandelion & Burdock, or Ginger Ale.

The Fermented drinks I would imagine have health benifits

That was my problem, in that it tasted better with JD and Glenfiddich.

Whiskey and coke!! No…… whiskey and a bit of ice

Coke with JD makes sense, as it masks the otherwise undrinkable.

Glenfiddich though, that's sacrilege.

I couldn’t agree more.

Amaretto straight no ice

Amaretto sours for me

Never been a whiskey drinker, my guess it would have been to strong for me

Diet Coke for me. Full fat is like drinking neat sugar.

It doesn't taste like coke. Zero is better

My dad was a whiskey drinker, He loved the stuff neat. I once drank a bottle of southern comfort at a party when I was younger, never again have I touched the stuff, it was horrible on the way down and even worse on the way up.

I think i could enjoy that.

I didn't discover amaretto until about 10 years ago. Ive always said that i could never be an alcoholic. Then I discovered this stuff and I found i was sniffing it in the morning, then eventually putting it in my coffee.

Is this something that's been about for years?

 

[ReganAndCarter]

Because you think it has health benefits ? Or because you like the stuff?

I do believe it was originally invented as a cure for hangover!

When we were kids we used to drink gallons of the stuff which probably explained why I had a good few fillings. Every now and again I get a hankering for a coke and usually give in. Usually if been out for a few beers and having a meal after I don't want any more beer, so will have a coke with meal. None of that sweetener rubbish though, with proper sugar in it. Would probably have about 6 to 10 cokes a year.
