BuffJim Posted November 9, 2018 Share #2 Posted November 9, 2018 I like Diet Pepsi and Diet Dr. Pepper. Don't drink them too often cause I still don't think they're good for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fake sweeteners are the devil as is sugar but sugar over fake if you must. I drink black coffee and sometimes tea. I don't add any additives to either one. Some people believe the carbonation on soda is of the devil too, I don't know about that one but it probably doesn't give any health benefits.

ChrisL Posted November 9, 2018 Share #6 Posted November 9, 2018 My one vice, diet soda and I drink them daily. @petitepedal I don't care for Diet Coke either but with a squirt of lemon juice it's tolerable. I prefer Coke Zero, Diet DP and Sprite Zero if I'm properly caffeinated. Diet Pepsi just tastes weird to me so I'll still drink Diet Coke over Diet Pepsi.

Damn glad that I am old even if I am diseased!? The latter. We are all going to die of something which was caused by one or more things. I assume everyone on this thread actually READS the forum regularly???? How many discussions have we had about food, diets, drugs, preservatives, organic, processed, whatever??? Hundreds for sure. Has that made you stop drinking xyz or eating abc? So, long story short, since folks seem a bit crabby with the long weekend looming, I'll say go ahead an eat whatever you like. That seems to be what folks want to hear. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn ★ Posted November 10, 2018 Share #26 Posted November 10, 2018 I invited my brother over for dinner tonight. I gave everyone ice water with dinner, figured we might switch to beer later but he has to get up early for work tomorrow so he left already. He really likes our water. Where he lives they have city water and it tastes nasty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted November 10, 2018 Share #27 Posted November 10, 2018 Don’t feel too sad Ralph we disagree on beers. We have some common ground but he doesn’t like dark beers and he likes Four Loco. He likes PBR and Yuengling so the Yuengling is our middle ground. He will probably have a beer before he goes to bed. We are both well stocked on beer right now. The restaurant across from where he lives has Mad Elf. $8 a bottle so he won’t be drinking that. They always have White Lightning on tap for $2 a glass so we both drink that.

My work recognizes the federal holidays, NYD, MLK, Memorial, Independence and Labor Days, Thanksgiving and a renamed President’s Day now called “Great American’s Day”. We also get Black Friday and Christmas Eve off. No Veterans, no Columbus or other “bank holidays”, even though the county’s offices are closed on many addition days.
