I drink too much of the stuff actually. It's not uncommon to down a 12
pack of RC or Pepsi in a morning. Or 4 cans of 7up at supper.

So...

Knowing that all the sugar and carbonation isn't really that healthy in
the long term, I'm turning to just lain water to natural fruit juices.

Do I feel better? Not really But I'm sure it's making a healthier
difference.

What is your drink of choice?

Sodie pop.

Cola's mostly, but I'm liking natural juice mix's as well.

Wait until you are my age. Then you can add the joys of orange flavored
Metamusil to your list of beverages of choice!

High levels of Benzene can cause cancer, and ascorbic acid is terrible
for the stomach!


I like beer a lot, but after all these years I discovered that I am allergic
to it.
It makes my belly swell.

I found several years ago, 19, that I was allergic to alcohol in *any*
form. It would give me headaches, slurring speech, upset stomach, loss of
balance and coordination, etc.

Bad stuff!

Enough just to wet the whistle.


Is that the proverbial "one beer" which is really a six pack!

I saw the reports on high levels of benzene. But it's interesting that
the "high" levels are what? 72 parts per billion???

Seeing that Benzene and gasoline are very closly related, you probably
absorb more bad stuff when you are self-serve filling your car and get
a whiff of the fuel fumes. PLUS Working int he automotive industry, I
probably get more than that just touching grease and smelling cleaning
solvent.

If it's there...it's there, and you may know it or not.

The Ascorbic acid has never given me a gut problem (that I know of) but
, maybe I'm used to it....

Well, then -- little difference. We beer drinkers prefer the juice of
rotting grain, while wine drinkers [who often somehow fancy themselves
superior] merely shift their preference to the rotting juice of fruit. You,
on the other hand, prefer a chemically altered concoction, so you shift the
rotting process to your own insides during the post-drink phase. :-)

Do you ever go by Summits Wayside Taverns? It is the best place for
good quality draft beer.

http://www.classiccitybrew.com/summits05.html

Beer aficionados appreciate the food but come to Summits for the
amazing selection of malt beverages. On a typical day you'll likely
find a staggering array of draft beers - 114 at Sandy Springs, 166 at
Snellville, and 224 at Cumming. Andy insists that his draft beers are
better maintained than most because of his use of nitrogen gas mixed
with the standard carbon dioxide. "Nitrogen is more expensive than
CO2 but it does a much better job at preserving kegged beer," he says


You don't need the better perserving if you go through the keg fast enough
:-)

I'm not a beer drinker, and really never have been. Oh, theres been a
couple times in my life that I've twisted a top, and a couple times
that a top has twisted me. But for the most part, I think beer smells
like what it is. rotten grain.

Buy something beside "Bud" ;-)



now, I'm sure that there's many people that post and lurk on this board
that do like the suds, And if you like the suds, I'm not preaching
against your favorite thurst quencher.

I DID a bit of snooping around though, and found this thread
hillarious.

I thought some of you could appreciate it and it might revive some of
your own thoughts of personal taste's and experiences as well.

Enjoy!

LOL!

I never really looked at it that way....

I wish, at one time, a 6 pack would just give me a buzz, now it would
knock me on my ass.

When you have 200 bears on tap, you need the perserving.
