I'm thirsty, what do your recommend besides water or any other soft drink?

Lateralus · Mar 11, 2004, 02:35 AM

Besides a soda?

Hmmm... I like V8 Splash. Good ****.

paully dub · Mar 11, 2004, 07:02 AM

Iced tea with lemon, or fresh lemonade. Y'know, the kind of thing Grandma used to make, but nobody bothers anymore.

mrfrost · Mar 11, 2004, 07:07 AM

Have a Guinness.

voodoo · Mar 11, 2004, 07:10 AM

A cold ecologically made ginger ale! Yumm-ee!

Mastrap · Mar 11, 2004, 07:11 AM

Tea. The empire was built on tea.

Hmmm... this is making me thirsty... *runs off and grabs a nice cold A&W root beer* Ah...... that felt good...

Root beer? They don't sell much of that around here. Never seen nor tasted it. That's something to look forward to then when I visit N-America.

Try this

I think it must be the most refreshing drink in the world.

MindFad · Mar 11, 2004, 07:34 AM

Take a white Russian, thanks.

Not just any Guinness

That some good stuff - but what exactly is in it? I haven't had one in years.

bobthecannibal · Mar 11, 2004, 08:05 AM

A bottle or ten of corona refreshes me.
But Guiness (only from the tap) and crownies are also nice.

Cider?! Thank you very much, but no... I would rather go for this:

Badger Brewery's Golden Champion Ale - that's a really nice and refreshing ale

One of my favourites.

Ω · Mar 11, 2004, 08:06 AM

Having one...

A Tanq 10 and Tonic

vexborg · Mar 11, 2004, 08:11 AM

Sorry about that...

Orange concentrate, vanilla extract, ice, sugar, milk, and water...

since the topic was/is COLD beverage, why are people saying guinness? proper guinness is at room temperature. i find that far from cold.

Not entirely. All stouts should be served at cellar temperature, meaning slightly chilled.

MindFad · Mar 11, 2004, 09:12 AM

I prefer a freezing cold Guinness, myself, but cellar chilled is great, too.

Read the pump.

residentEvil · Mar 11, 2004, 09:15 AM

fine. cellar temperature. to me, that and room temperature isn't cold. sorry for the confusion.

mrfrost · Mar 11, 2004, 09:40 AM

I like the extra gold Guinness better as well, but cellar temperature is fine too.

Gankdawg · Mar 11, 2004, 11:38 AM

"These pretzels are making me thirsty!"

Mostly drink water. Doing Atkins right now so no alcohol for a while. Thinking about trying one of those low-carb beers though.
