And when (not if) you get back to the gym, lose the gloves, get some man hands. :-P I'm in the same club as you, I have a passion for drinking and drinking and drinking... a lot. I usually stick with water drinking 4-8 litres a day at my prime but occasionally I'll grab a 2 litre pop and drink in 3o minutes-1hour. :-P Good times. Not trying to brag or anything because I know my Dad can put down 2 L of Pepsi in no more than 10 minutes. Haha.

If you could only see me crudely swigging my big bottles of Pellegrino, all visions of flutes and pinkies would dart out the window than a gaggle of flying monkeys. And you with your Coke/Pepsi intake... do you hold your belly and belch out words between gulps? Yes, rehab sucks. I usually do it cold turkey and the first few days are a living hell with pounding headaches. Ha!

Pellegrino and Perrier? Do you drink it in a slender crystal flute with your pinkie in the air? No wonder it took so long for your state to put out the fires...one can only twist off the caps so fast...*ducks* Gotta be weaning myself off the Coke/Pepsi. I've grown WAY too fond of it and because I'm already a "low intake" liquid person by nature, it is squeezing out any "pure" water intake completely. Uggg. I hate rehab.

Before the abstinence I'd drink up Double Gulps like I was sucking air-- remember how I said I had a passion for large intakes of liquid? And I gave up the Rock Star first, so <em>neener-neener!</em> Today my large intakes consist of Pellegrino, Perrier and water on the rocks with splashes of grape juice. The Vitamin Energy is my "one cup in the morning." That burr under my skin... his name wouldn't be Raymond, by chance, would it? skippy,

This is one of da "cool" blogs, even if its master is NOT cool to anyone but us. He makes me laugh so often and so unexpectedly that we're Saran Wrapped the keyboard on the desk top. *g* And you just HAD to bring up iced tea....sigh. My dad used to brew "sun tea" in an old gallon jar in the summertime when it was hot and dry. The hubby and I were talking about it last night over dinner and I was "a hankerin sump'un fierce, I tell you what".

I myself was a diet Coke junkie for decades until I went on the wagon... (drumroll, please)... Jan. 1 of this year. Actually I gave up soda altogether and my beloved DC was the collateral damage. It wasn't easy; I'm thinking about writing my story for Lifetime. BTW, welcome to the blog and thank you for the kind words. Karron,

As for being addicted to a beverage, give me that diet Doctor Pepper. I know, I know . . . Not a good choice. But Hey, I live in the South, the only other good drink around here is Iced Tea . . . by the gallons. Oh, and of course tasteless water. What's a girl to do?

Very few things make me laugh out loud in this world...Jeff Dunham's puppets, the new TV show Big Bang Theory, and you ala the pictorials you paint in my head with phrases like "to play Flight of the Bumblebee on the spoons". But then, I suspect that one only finds funny what one vividly relates to. I'm right there with ya on finding certain beverages to be nectar of the Gods, but I no longer live in DenialWorld and know that such concoctions are not the nectar of MY God. This is because the powers that be have been nothing but clear on the subject of bringing the flesh into submission to the spirit, addictive substances and moderation no matter how many vitamins and minerals you mix with them. *eg* But hey, don't let that spoil your buzz bro! :-P Good to have you back Captain Caffeine!
