What, and when, is yours? Mine will be shortly. A mug of green tea, a tablespoon of honey, and shot of butterscotch shnapp.

Just had my first drink; A glass of Minute Maid strawberry juice, from frozen concentrate.

I never knew they made frozen strawberry juice. I was pretty giddy when I saw it in the grocer's freezer.
I like chicken

I guess vodka is Hanks' first drink. Sometimes, I'll have a juice or water. If I'm running late, I wait until I get into the office and then I'll have a Vanilla Coke or a Snapple (I work afternoons but don't eat breakfast and often skip lunch as well).

I love these threads.

Usually it's


I drink it every day - I buy the gallon jugs of it and drink 4 to 8 glasses per day.

However, I supplement it with a cup of freshly ground and brewed coffee every morning with a tablespoon of half-and-half in lieu of cream.

Every night I have a glass of riesling wine, also.

All of it actually ... milk goes in strong coffee, water on the side. During winter time, water is replaced by freshly squeezed OJ - wife's orders.

I've been drinking one of these a day for 2 reasons.

1) It is really good for you
2) Pomegranates are my favourite fruit.

Disgruntled Head of C-3P0:

Have you read the back of the Pom Juice where it gives the nutritional valuation?

Did you read where it doesn't really have anything in it?

0% Vitamin C for example?

Not a significant source of anything at all?

I was paying $9.99 for a big bottle of that stuff and thinking that it must be really good for me, full of vitamin C or something. (It tastes great - like thick cranberry juice.) Then I looked at the back and saw...

Zilch.

I stopped drinking it.

Now I'm drinking green tea and Arizona decaffeinated Rx Stress tea along with orange juice. A lot of orange juice. I drink a lot of orange juice or cranberry juice because alkaline water is supposed to prevent disease and cancer and it's cheaper to drink orange juice or cranberry juice than to buy AlkaLife tablets to alkalinize my water or buy alkaline water.

The weird thing is this: Everyone in my family except for me (and my baby who is a breastfed baby - yeah, that's a lot of information I know) is sick right now with the flu.

So, the only thing that I can figure is that the Rx Stress tea and the orange juice saved my/our health. the Rx Stress tea has vitamins B6 and B12 in it also.

Drinking is good. (Especially for my baby.)

I heard water was a good alien repellent. Didn't know about the witches, though.

Vitamin C? If I want that they have this thing called orange juice. Pomegranate juice is an antioxidants, that is why it is good for you.

"POM Wonderful pomegranate juice is one of nature's most powerful antioxidants. Just one glass of POM Wonderful pomegranate juice has more naturally occurring antioxidant power than other drinks. More than red wine, green tea, blueberry juice and cranberry juice. Antioxidants help your body guard against free radicals, molecules that can cause premature aging, heart disease, Alzheimer's, even cancer. Antioxidants are important because they help prevent cell and tissue damage that leads to disease. Unfortunately, our bodies don't produce enough antioxidants to protect our bodies but we can help keep ourselves healthy by consuming foods and beverages that contain antioxidants."

Okay, you know that antioxidants are vitamins, right?

antioxidant definition


Much research has recently focused on how antioxidant vitamins may reduce cardiovascular disease risk. Antioxidant vitamins � E, C and beta carotene (a form of vitamin A) � have potential health-promoting properties. Though the data are incomplete, up to 30 percent of Americans are taking some form of antioxidant supplement.
American Heart Association.

Maybe true, but how many people nowadays eat even a remotely "balanced diet" ?
Personally I find it hilarious that you have the hots for my gramma. Especially seeins how she is 3x your age, and makes your Brittney-Spears-wannabe 30-something wife look like a rag doll who went thru WWIII with a burning stick of dynamite up her a** :)

i figured it out.



everybody eats. figure it out.

life is not a freakin party. god doesn't give a person a handbook, as in most situations in life... figure it out for yourself. not speaking directly to you CD.

My first drink of the day is some kind of juice with my multivitamin. My SECOND drink is very fresh coffee-Gevalia, because I'm worth it!-with whatever I'm having for breakfast.

My first alcoholic drink of the day is usually at least after the begining of coctail hour, when I KNOW I won't need to go out anywhere. I don't drink out very much at all, and only when I am NOT driving. I hate feeling out of control, so I only do this when someone I trust a lot is driving. Again, not often.

I'll usually have a glass of wine with dinner, unless it's a good beer (like Young's Double Chocolate Stout, or even Shiner Bock). Sometimes I have a glass of something stronger after dinner. Fortunately my drinking habits do not lend themselves to the real subject of the song and video.

I love orange juice, although it depends which brand. Store brands suck, they taste like pure citric acid + water. YUCK.

Sadly, all I have in my fridge is Market Basket brand orange juice.

You too??? Do they often try to attack you? They sometimes try to come for me in my dreams, but I think they fear my girlfriends natural goodness.

This morning I had a cup of Tea. No milk, no sugar.

I'm in the process of quitting coffee drinking (a bit hard since I've been doing it since I was a kid, but I'm getting there), so every morning it's a glass of pulpy OJ and a glass of water.
