Good luck.

for the last year I drank. I was allowed one drink a day but wanted more. I gave in 3 times in that year and it was a disaster all three times. A good quit is a relief and I don't want to go back.

It'll be 7 years this September for me!

its my go to drink these days.

I'm going off diet coke some day soon and am told that I will not tolerate milk products or sugar or sugar substitute on the medication I am on so I'm gearing up to drink tea or coffee straight up.

I can pop the tea bag in the B&D single cup coffee maker then transfer the tea bag to the mug for a few minutes more.

I am having one now after work, and taking 2 aspirin. After 30 minutes I do a 1.9 mile walk.

Lemonade is nice!

yummy.

I loved OJ with "Dad's Chocolate Chip Cookies" dipped in when I was a teen. Sounds kind of strange but orange does go with chocolate.

I'm going to try tea and coffee with just milk like you. I have to ween myself off Stevia.

Produced by Mengyang Guoyan in 2007. A sheng (raw) called Bulang Shan Long (Dragon of Bulang Mtn.)

It's a favorite that I enjoy only occasionally because I am down to a couple of cakes, having bought several the year after its production.

in Laurel, Mississippi where they rebuilt an old farmhouse for a family growing tea. The couple had lived in Asia where they fell in love with the teas. They came home and converted a family farm into growing specialized tea. They have tea tastings. They sell out in days when a new tea comes out. Just an FYI.

I'll have a closer look. I'm always after something different!

as I live in Texas. Alcohol depresses me so I don't drink.

It's like an Arnold Palmer but with Limeade. (I made up the name).

His prime was a little before Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer…

Recovering from surgery so adult beverages are out for now.

I’m looking forward to a Negroni!

I love lemonade, only fresh.
I grew basil , ate it off the stem

My mind can't even imagine these flavors

Like to slightly sweeten my cold tea with a bit of limeade (20-30%), sometimes. Prefer red tea for hot beverage.
Can’t drink a lot of black tea, though… overindulgence resulted in kidney stones (twice). Don’t want any repeat of that!

Total of 2 or 3 cups a week, never more than one in a day. (Bummer: Earl Grey was my beverage of choice.) Several years since the last stone, so that frequency seems to work for me.

That black tea contributes significantly to risk of kidney stones.

She'd put a spoon in a tall glass of ginger ale so the bubbles would all attach to it and you'd pull out the spoon and then the ginger ale would have fewer bubbles and be more syrupy. I looked forward to being sick.

I won't dwell on the specifics, given the teetotaling nature of this thread. Suffice it to say that today's political news has made me thirstier than usual.

They get sweet and laugh a lot. I like it if it makes one happy.

I know from family experience that it's not easy.

But the other day, we made cherry limeaid. It's made with maraschino cherry juice.

I'd much rather have a Vernors ginger ale, but I'm too lazy to go out, so it's my own fault.

of CO2. LOL. I guess I was buying one every time I went to the hardware store to get the syrup.
