No vodka ....
IMHO, soda pop is just a delivery system for liquor, much as cigs are a delivery system for nicotine. I never drink straight soda. I don’t like soda as a beverage.
I agree. What’s the point?
Think this author is still holding stock in Zima? LOL!
Thank you for a non-political article. I get so sick of you know who.
I’m not a drinker, or at least I wasn’t until last November 4th. Every now and then, I get a bottle of Martini&Rossi Aste Spumante. It takes me 5 nights to finish a bottle. One glass a night. I just seal the top of the bottle real good and it holds it’s fizz pretty well until it’s gone. I like how it tastes, how it relaxes me, and it doesn’t give me a headache the next morning. Other alcoholic beverages give me a hangover with just one serving.
I quit drinking Diet Pepsi and Diet Coke over a year ago to avoid the aspartame. I took up drinking naturally flavored fizzy water, the Klarbrunn or La Croix brands. Many flavors and no artificial sweeteners, zero calories.
I also make a lot of black tea, and either ice it or have it hot. I can make a heck of a lot of tea really cheaply.
No point, just rambling...just waiting for 2012 to get here....

There you have it — not in a nutshell, but perhaps in a shot glass.
Yep, that's it. It seems a very long piece to give a very short answer.
similar to near beer. For folks who don’t want to get drunk, just enjoying pissing.
In those calmer times, there weren't many "sluts".....but those in that city were virtually all Seventh Day Adventist teenagers - itching to 'get off the reservation'.
Agreed. I’ve been drinking the same bottle of wine all week. I also enjoy the non-political articles. Sooo tired of “him” and “her”.
When I was quite young in Ireland I had a female piano teacher who of all things was a7Day’er.
I had no idea what that meant but she did have bad breath perhaps that is why i don’t play as well as I could have
gawd, she stunk it was nigh impossible for me to get thru the lesson
I like beer
It makes me a jolly good fellow
I like beer
it helps me unwind, and sometimes it makes me feel mellow...
Ever since I quit drinking I don’t even see the point in pretending. A beer sounds good every now and then but I suspect that the jump from non alcoholic to alcoholic beer would be a short one for me.
That reminds me of a story. When I turned the legal drinking age, my paternal grandfather offered me a drink. I said "gimme a rum and coke". My grandfather said to me sternly...
"Boy, in this house we drink liquor neat, on the rocks or with a splash of water, but we don't ruin good liquor with cheap soda."
I haven't had a liquor and soda pop drink since that day. And, I found that in the ensuing years at college and whatever, I always drank less than my friends. FWIW.
Hell, I don’t drink cocktails much less “Mocktails”. Scotch rocks, Crown Royal neat, mostly beer or wine. But never, ever, Mocktails.
Most everyone, well not most. EVERYONE, I know drinks for effect. Otherwise, what’s the point? Really, how many would actually drink a concoction that tastes like scotch but without the alcohol? I’ll tell you. NO ONE.
And no, I didn’t actually click the link. Is it actually serious or more tongue-in-cheek?
Alchohol beverages without the alchohol is like a kiss on the forehead.
IMO, all booze tastes terrible. One drinks it only for the effect of the alcohol. Without that, might as well drink Welsh’s grape juice.
Bud Light is just an ADS (Alcohol Delivery System), not a beer.
