It's called "äppelmust" in Swedish. One can only drink a glass of it really, unless you want to experience the major runs, but OOOOOH NOMNOMNOM.
I drink a lot of milk and all kind of juices. My favourite juice is unfiltered applejuice with out the detour over concentrat.
The only tea I really like is not available were I live because it is what is needed to create cocaine.
No he didn't he is refering to the OP in the way that that the OP is destroying his teeth with too much sodatrollnystan said:
Root beer and Mountain Dew were my thing. I loved those drink. But now I have to give all caffeine and carbonated beverages in an attempt to stop gaining weight. So now I am down to just water.
No, äpplemust is basically an unfiltered, unpasteurised apple juice without the added sugar. Apparently - according to the wiki - it's sold in North America under the name apple cider, which in Europe means the alcoholic kind. If äpplemust is allowed to ferment however, it turns into alcoholic cider.Kyrdra said:
Really? Because I don't remember the OP asking for advice, which is what threw me, just what our favourite drinks were. Maybe I'm just slow tonight.Kyrdra said:
Honestly? I drink almost nothing but water, milk, and the rare alcoholic beverage. The only times I ever switch it up is when hot chocolate is available (it usually isn't in my house), if I decide I feel like tea for once, or if I spot some lime soda. I love me some lime soda.
That's funny, I watched Midnight Madness the other night.Tsaba said:
I don't like to shill but I'm loving Izze Sodas. There's no sugar but it doesn't need it. It's all juice and seltzer (which I can just mix on my own) but its really refreshing. Kind of hard to find though, I noticed they're in a lot of starbucks'... pretty much the only thing I would get at starsmuks.
hmm I would think of that as normal unfiltered apple juice without added sugar but maybe I'm just naive. Also the swedish wiki seems to be wrong then or the google translate is making fun of me [http://translate.google.de/translate?hl=de&sl=sv&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fsv.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2F%25C3%2584ppelmust].trollnystan said:
Well the OP said that he was looking for an alternative but not because he is destroying his teeth but his weight is increasing.
I drink NEHI peach. It's cheap, it's wonderful and it was fed to me in my bottle when I was a baby(I have a somewhat weak stomach, they were trying to find something that wouldn't upset it after I couldn't handle formula). It's stuck with me all these years and I still love it. I'm glad my grandma had some on hand when I was a baby, otherwise I could be drinking Pepsi or Mellow Yellow.
Espresso shots, straight, in a tiny steel mug (I've never been able to reproduce the coffee I had in Italy... but my espresso machine doesn't take up an entire wall of my house). I graduated from Field Coffee (MRE instant coffee and MRE hot cocoa mix in a plastic canteen, shaken, not stirred... never heated) when I got back to the US... because I wasn't living in a tent anymore.
I also like extremely hippie-tastic mango juice [http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51aTLc9P6wL._SY300_.jpg] that you almost have to chew... and unsweetened cranberry [http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2EHBn65O-I8/UKHC9V_HaZI/AAAAAAAACIs/EhwDVHNBTwQ/s1600/cranb.png] or pomegranate [http://www.eurofoodies.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/458x458/04cea333069593dcb42ed94dc35f9a76/p/o/pomegranate_juice_salutti.jpg] juice... and unsweetened fruit/vegetable medley health-nut juices (usually this [http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5xeh6xC711r5z0g7o1_500.jpg])...
I do still have a soft spot for a couple very specific sodas, though: Ginger beer [http://www.ushist.com/img/f_c_d/images/soda_a-j-stephans_ginger-beer-jamaican-style_l.jpg] (not that weak Canada Dry stuff) and a decent Sarsaparilla [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/5e/Sioux_City_Sarsaparilla.JPG].
But my real drinks of choice are generally alcoholic. I like dark, thick, hoppy beer (like Russian Imperial Stouts... though in the summer I just hop on the IPA bandwagon) and strong (101 proof, usually) sipping whiskey... chilled, straight.
Friendly advice: acquired tastes washed down with lots of water might serve you better in the health department than that liquid fructose you've been guzzling, OP.

Pepsi Max. My biggest draw to soda is the caffeine, so why not drink the soda with 69 mg. per can when most other sodas have almost half that?
If I'm not looking to get my fix, I tend to grab Arizona green tea or any kind of fruit punch.

I love drinking water. I like to have a pint of it next to me if I am working at home. I also like drinking tea, apple juice and orange juice a lot as well. I don't really like sugary things so I tend to avoid Coca-cola, Pepsi, Dr.Pepper etc, as it makes me feel quite queasy.
Oh that's a weird translation, lol. The part where it says, "juice with no added sugar may be called apple juice" it actually says, "Apple juice with no added sugar may be called äpplemust." Oh Google Translate, one day you might be able to translate a text accurately all the way through, but not today.Kyrdra said:
I think there simply isn't a word for it in English/Deutsch for the two different kinds of apple juice, whereas in Swedish there is. No biggie =)
Wow, I must be more tired than I thought, totally missed that! *headdesk*Kyrdra said:
Mountain Dew, Coffee, and Green Tea are my favorite non-alcoholic drinks though when I'm sick I prefer water and orange juice.
Who cares about health effects? I certainly don't! Screw health effects! I'd rather drink a coke than the piss-water people call beer. Ethanol tastes like shit.SnowWookie said:
