Soft Drinks

I don't like plain water. My preference is Gatorade Zero or G2 Fruit Punch only. It's darn near impossible to find. Same with Pepsi Caffeine free Diet. Though I don't do much soda anymore.

I can get Caffeine free diet coke most days.

Are other parts of the country seeing this?

Good drinks getting hard to find. Mostly water and G2 for the input when racing. I can’t do sodas at all. Can’t tolerate caffeine or a lot of sugar. I’m already on the chip without it. Most of the waters we drink don’t have any value in them for us. I’ve tried almost everything. Ideas?

Most city water has enough chlorine in it to bleach your clothes. I don't drink soft drinks at all and we have a good well so I stay happy. I do buy Deer Park spring water for the track. And yes it is spring water.

I drink a lot of plain water. Soft drinks only with booze, but I don’t drink much of that either.

Most days start with a single cup of coffee and then just water the rest of the way.

When racing I replace the coffee with chocolate milk.

At the races I drink lots of Liquid IV stuff from Costco. It is really good and they have it on sale once a month or so.

"Dunning-Kruger Effect"
-a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.

Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.

I drink Diet Coke. Tons of it too. I’ll mix in some Gatorade now and then if I’m sweating like crazy. I did quit smoking a while back though…

According to the American Diabetes Association one of the contributing factors that leads to Diabetes are diet soft drinks.

Crack in a can.

Is that why you're so cranky?

I grew up in the county on a dairy farm - on fresh spring water and milk. Moved to town and couldn't stand to drink colorine treated town water. Drank a lot of bottled spring water for years, now I have a double filter with a charcoal filter at my house, and add a little lemon juice to it and drink mostly filtered tap water. The lemon really helps me drink more water, just try it.
But whatever you do try to get away from soda and the sugared drinks.

Same here. Moved to the city for 10 years, and moved back to the country with a well. Guess I got used to the city water. Out here it tastes like bottled water coming out of the faucet.

I to lived on a farm when I was young. Drank well water and milk straight from the cow. We moved to town and processed milk made me throw up so I stopped drinking milk, to this day I don't drink milk at all. As for water, it tastes like Clorox to me most places but those artesian wells they had when I lived south of Baltimore were right up there with the best I ever tasted.

If I may, you are functioning under the influence of a caffeine drug. Probably not ideal, but your choice.
