I personaly belive that sparkling water is the most refreshing drink there is, and my husband thinks I'm crazy for it.

What do you guys think hit's the spot best?

P.S I drink tea all day, though I don't know it's a thirst quencher.

Viv, my husband would agree with you, but I personally like a glass of just chilled water or old fashioned iced tea.

I'm obsessed with green tea flavored soy milk. It's hard to find, but Kikkoman makes it. It's great with a little ice. mmmm.....

Fizzy water is a wierd one- i never know if i like it or not!

Today I had the greatest shake: banana, ice, skim milk, no-fat yogurt, and no fat chocolate syrup. It was heaven. And I felt good drinking it because I knew it wasn't so bad!

Sparkling water is definitely refreshing, but there's this juice bar called Surf City Squeeze that makes the most amazing strawberry-lemonade thingy, blended with ice... OMIGOSH! So good!

Bawls, fresh from the mini dorm fridge.
Best at 2 A.M. on an empty stomach for a real punch.

That's a running joke with my room at work- I drink bawls all the time; seems like no one can resist making the "can I taste your bawls" comment
yummy stuff though

Bawls. The beverage of videogame addicts :D

i like sparkling water too, and I particularly like it mixed with a bit of trader joes "heart of darkness" passionfruit juice...yum!

I also love japanese plum drinks, sparkling or not.

Also jasmine tea, lime ade, and soy milk with matcha tea.

Oh, and also a good ol gin &tonic.

mmmmm gin and tonic!

WimpyRen
08-20-2005, 11:11 AM
mmm jasmine tea, always a favorite.

Bawls is a caffiene guarana drink, sort of juicy and sparkling. And yes, the drink of game addicts ( my husband got me hooked, guess where he learned about it from!) but it's actually pretty tasty. I think it makes me more alert than really hyped though; in moderation ;)

midgetgem
08-21-2005, 06:11 PM
ahhh i dont think we have bawls here ;)

Orange juice has saved me today i think- I've got such a hangover from cryptik's 21st pirate party- arrrrr!

I love oj and lemonade too...arrr!

Booo hangovers. What's your drink of choice? I can't believe you guys don't have bawls there. I think I've decided I like all drinks except soda's. Not that I don't like them. Just not very thirst quenching when you're parched.

midgetgem
08-21-2005, 06:28 PM
we might have something similar ill have to look next time!

My alcoholic beverage of choice last night was smirnoff ice and stella beer mixed- a very alcoholic shandy if you will.

It's at times like today however that I question my alcohol needs and whether i actually like to drink... I do, but i dont like the after-effects!

I like whiskey sours with a little grenadine added...I'm trying not to partake so much on weekends though ;)

My favorite drink at the pub was either sour lemon mixer on it's own, or tonic water and orange juice, (I got some funny looks ordering those though).

For looking flash and drinking happy, I recommend tonic water under black lights, it glows the most amazing turquoise!

I normally settle for some Crown with Coke (gives me a steady buzz). And having an Irishman for a boyfriend, our apartment's always stocked with Guinness Stout or Killian's Irish Red beer. The latter beer has a weird, bitter aftertaste tho. I also love schnapps, preferably sour apple, peppermint, or chocolate-flavored.

Ceasar's is also a tasty drink, in my opinion. The massive amounts of Tobasco sauce in it clears my sinuses like no other!

I don't much like vodka, tho. I once took a huge swig from a 40 oz-er of Smirnoff, and I was stuck, trying to pull myself out from a squatting position, cuz dayamn son, that shit burns!

Ugh, I got so sick off crown and coke once. I can't drink it anymore! :o

The best way to drink crown and coke is to light it (it needs to be in a rum glass, though) and blow it out quickly as possible. The fire burns off crown's weird taste, so that all you can taste is the coke. But the nifty thing is, is that you still get the same buzz from it.

Never tried that one before. I was impressed with rootbeer barrels when I first saw that! Come to think of it, I can't drink those now either. Despite being mostly Irish, I suppose it's not in my blood to handle a drink or 12 too well.

Crown Royal is a whiskey (canadian I think) comes in a purple bag with Gold threading. I personally prefer a good scotch over Crown.

I don't drink alcoholic beverages, but I do enjoy Bawls every once in a while. Like you guys, I learned about it from my gamer boyfriend. He may be annoyed, but I never get tired of saying, "Colin, why are you drinking Bawls?" "Mmm, can I taste your Bawls" or the ever popular "Eeew! Bawls!"

13 year old humor is still funny. Sometimes.

Vodka only burns if you buy the cheap stuff, get a nice vodka put it in the freezer for a while and you can drink it straight, or on ice, or as a very nice crisp mixer :)

Spent way too long around booze to drink cheap crap anymore :D

In this order: water, green tea, and pineapple juice.

It used to be coffee - but I quit drinking it.

Ah bawls is cool. I love the bottle, so pretty, in fact I am keeping one. :) Lemonade is refreshing so is ice tea. As far as alcohol is concerned I always find a Pinacolada enjoyable and satisfying. Ah yes a cold smirnoff ice is good too.

Oh God. It never gets old.

I went to Bible study a week ago, and we're going through the book "Songs", which is basically an erotic poem. At one point the verse says something about nard nestled between the bride's breasts, and my teacher was like, "I can't believe they put that in there." My friend and I were cracking up, but none of the other girls seemed to get what was so funny. The teacher (a male) had to explain to the rest of the girls that "nard" was a slang word for testicles. You see, it never gets old!

Dude, if you were to drink Bawls or Red Bull back-to-back (like three cans/bottles I believe) you'll get one helluva sugar rush that everything around you will seem significantly slower. It's fricken' nifty. That is, if the sugar doesn't kill ya =P!

red bull has been rumoured to kill people who drink too much- Taurine is quite bad.

I did a lot of it during my exams and thesis writing and at the end i couldnt stop shaking, went to bed and slept for 24 hours straight!
