I only drink water.

My water contains only the deuterium variety of hydrogen. Far superior to the regular, common, more simplistic sort, clearly intended for more garden variety simplistic people.

Indeed, it is only those of higher class and thus of better blood who may attain and appreciate such elixir. You know what your Plebeian Poland Springs says, "Born Better". Only I actually am of better blood. Born better. And your "Coca-Cola", what are they saying now... open happiness? Heh... you know what they say about commoners and happiness.

Truly, get on my level. I need something soft to stand on, for at such heights residing on your knees will be the most familiar stature you can manage. With luck you may glimpse a drip of this beverage of the gods, as your feeble mind struggles to comprehend the intricacies of the vast wonder before and beyond you.

do it. there are way too many good drinks, with real depth of taste, that conjure up great memories and feelings when you drink them, to waste your time and health on sugar water.

i drink a lot of chamomile tea right now to alleviate my anxiety, looking into vanilla as well, but my favorite drink right now is soy milk. its sweet, milky, nutty, and quite comforting. i had this amazing nutty almond tea or something, it was asian, i'm not entirely sure what it was but again it felt so comforting, the aroma and taste brought up images of some last samurai type shit, just sitting on a wooden floor, in an open house while it softly rains outside and i sit, feeling like everything is at peace.

Yes, there are certain things in teas and other consumables that may have an effect on the one who eats it. But, you'd have to consume more than the normal amount to even feel the effects. The effect is so minimal that it's all in your head.

Yeah, alright. I bet valerian is all "in people's head" too. Going back to philosophy, it's difficult to define a difference between self and environment, and it's also difficult to say which does which via which and what mechanism. Your claims of tea hinging on a placebo effect are nonsense.

Ad hominem isn't inherently invalid, which is is why in the realm of informal logical fallacies, they cooked up the "fallacy fallacy". People who cite logical fallacies with little other substance likely deserve the initial ad hominem.

Tea tends to be clustered as far as its psychoactive ingredients go, relative to the strain and part of its growth cycle / location on the plant. Granted there's an inherent degree of uncertainty, but I'd say there's a reliably tested and defined range to expect. The bigger problem is fluorine and heavy metals in the cheap bottom leaf stuff.

Chamomile... Chamomile I don't know as much about. I do know it doesn't mix well with certain drugs, something it has in common with skullcap. I also know sometimes it makes me feel very relaxed, and sometimes it makes my head feel raw inside, the latter experience is a function of individual physiology though. Don't really know, as far I could imagine, if harvested in similar ways the benzodiazpine receptor, and other GABA components should be fairly predictable. Even if it isn't overdose levels suddenly being in the plant in an average cup of tea would be pretty unlikely. Shit is "random" as far as our perspective can go, that's just the way it is.

Dosage in mg is only relevant because it exists. Body is many co-regulating factors at once. You can consume roughly the same dosage of a drug on two separate days and experience very different effects.

Tolerance is negligible when it comes to methylxanthines. It's very rapidly gained and lost and withdrawal tends to be short lived. I drank a lot of tea for a while (we're talking a very lot) and my experience was in line with that. Not really sure why you're bringing it up to begin with, "tolerance"-like effects are just a part of pharmacology.

I know all I need to about you. I think a lot about people, and having an outsider's perspective tends to make you quite honest, you see things very clearly others often cannot. Over time we all build very finely tuned heuristics to account for ambiguity and uncertainty. In your case, I'd be relatively surprised, but not unhappy, to be wrong. You probably deserve anything I say to you and more that I do not.

soda is too potent tbh. all the sugars and acidity is jarring if you go back to it after abstaining for a while.

I'm not really a big fan of sweet drinks. I have water most of the time, one or two daily teas/coffees (no sugar) with breakfast or after dinner and that's it most days. Alcohol, I tend to have beer, greyhounds or gin and tonic. I'm not a fan of mixing with soda, with tonic water being the exception because it's bitter and doesn't have that syrupy taste.

The closest I get to soda is pouring sparkling water over a slice or two of fruit and some soft herbs, then muddling it. It's really refreshing with dinner and I honestly prefer the tart herbal/citrus taste without any sugar.

Back in high school I used to drink soda all the god damn time. I was pulling back at least 4 cans a day. That's a lot of fucking sugar.

I decided that I wanted to change my health, so I switched from dark sodas to clear sodas and eventually over to carbonated beverages and juices and then flavored waters and now I'm a huge fan of just normal cold filtered water. (Perhaps an occasional wedge of lemon or lime for flavor.)

When I drink soda these days, after not having it for so long, I find the flavor to still be good but over all it's way way too sweet for me drink more than one. Diet Soda's have too many other issues that honestly aren't even worth bothering with - so fuck those.

>> No.6509399

The unfortunate part is, beyond the carbonated water itself, soda in no way has to be so shamelessly terrible for you. People buying this crap support someone overcharging them and lacing their stuff with garbage because it's cheaper. It's maddening. Things become and stay shit because people simply will not, and cannot, just say no.

My experience parallels your own as well, and I think most people would say the same. Once you stop eating sugary things, you can't really go back very easily. The taste becomes sickly and far too strong, at best. If I wanted to feel like I was eating raw refined sugar I'd just do that, because there isn't too much for finesse in the flavor. Much rather eat a medjool date or something.

Only pure clean water for me. Gotta replenish your bodily fluids, fluoridated soda's never gonna do that. Rain or distilled water only.

If I'm at home, I generally only drink distilled water, mainly because when I was on a big health kick for a while, I bought a $700-ish water distiller and I'll be damned if I'm not going to make it count. I take bottles of the same water when I go on trips and to the gym as well.

I do drink soda on occasion, mainly if I'm out with friends and eating unhealthily anyway, or if I'm feeling lethargic and want some caffeine as a pick-me-up. Mountain Dew, especially Code Red, and Dr. Pepper are my go-to sodas, but on the rare occasions that I find myself at Roy Rogers, or at a few select food joints on the boardwalk in Ocean City, I can't resist some Birch Beer. God-tier soda right there.

Don't like soda? Cool, good for you, it's pretty bad for you. But the second you say it in a self satisfied tone like it means anything I immediately tune out whatever else you're saying to fantasize about force feeding you ghost peppers. Smug pricks.

Ausfag here. I drink Coke Zero. I'm not obese, but i'm not stick thin/athletic either. I just don't like sweet tasting drinks, and I like it's acidic, artificial taste. The Australian version doesn't contain the really horrible shit the Amerifag one does.

I also drink carrot juice, water and coffee (black, 1 teaspoon of sugar). Standard Coca Cola actually makes me vomit.

I drink only foreign sodas because each one is a different flavor. Also, even if that whole high fructose corn syrup thing is bullshit, I always love a glass of Orange Soda from Belize. I don't drink alcohol, so this is my vice kinda.

If you drink decaf, I'll have to kindly yet firmly ask you to leave.

Can somebody give me a good list of non-soda non-alcoholic beverages? I've been looking for some good substitutes.
So far all I have are orange juice and coffee (but coffee is more of a treat for me)

Russian-style tea. Very convenient if you want to drink tea all day long.
1. Brew really strong tea in the teapot (at least table spoon of leaves), this is called "zavarka"
2. Boil some water in kettle
3. Mix zavarka with hot boiled water in cup or mug, around 1:5 (find your own proportion)
4. Add sugar and lemon, if you're into that kind of thing.
Don't drink straight zavarka, only criminals do this and it will fuck up your teeth and heart. Also don't put milk or cream into it, this will turn you into gay british faggot.

Yes, coke is an acid, just like vinegar. It also has the added benefit of having carbonation, which helps to lift and move particles. Drano is a very strong base. It sometimes can't break down the fat that has filled your pipes one way or another. It is also safer for most pipes since it probably won't affect the copper/PVC pipes that your drains are attached to.

When I was a kid my parents never let me have any soda or took me out to McDonalds.
Instead my mother cooked every day something nice (she was working from home) and I helped her, learning to cook this way at a young age.

As a kid I was sometimes mad at them for not letting me drink any soda like all the other kids in school, now I couldn't be more happy that I'm not addicted to that trash

I like to drink coke still but I tend to choose sparkling water now.
