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....

"The problem with non-alcoholic drinks is their complete lack of alcohol."

There you have it — not in a nutshell, but perhaps in a shot glass.

similar to near beer. For folks who don’t want to get drunk, just enjoying pissing.

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.

Alchohol beverages without the alchohol is like a kiss on the forehead.

I've always found it intriguing that some religions are very stridently opposed to alcohol, some less so, allowing a wide range of opinion on the matter and some orders of Monks in particular are legendary for their production of various items of an alcoholic nature.

Nothing at all profound in this post; it's merely something that I occasionally consider while sipping a fine beverage that I've convinced myself was undoubtedly produced by a vivacious and buxom yet virtuous young Scottish lass with great effort and strain placed upon her bustier in the process.

These thoughts help me to delude myself into thinking that I may possibly be not going to Hell after all......

Why do mock tails fall flat?

Because men and women drink mainly because of the effect produced by alcohol.

Have you ever wondered by Near Beer isn’t a popular drink?

Duh!

They fail for the same reason the pseudo meat stuff (like veggie dogs) fail. If you want to eat meat or drink booze, you want to eat meat or drink booze. If you don’t want to eat meat or drink booze you probably aren’t terribly interested in pretending that you really are.
