I really like the HonestTea [edit: which is entirely unrelated to Izze, other than being something to drink which is not a soft drink] (even though Coke bought a 40% share of them). They're actually based out of suburban DC. They have some yum flavors, they're organic, and they've got JUST enough sweetness for my taste (and no HFCS, just sugar). Usually like, 10-30 cal per bottle, or somesuch, at least in the flavors I like.
I love HonestTea! Much lower in calories than anything else, but still tastes good. And their caffeine content is right there, too!
I found a diet soda w/o caffeine that I liked just this weekend: A&W diet root beer. I can't remember the last time I had soda in the house, but will have this around.
Also, speaking of caffeine-free and tea: Bengal Spice iced tea. That's the only iced tea we'll make at home.
When I first moved in the cold water from my fridge dispenser had a bad, metallic taste. I'm not sure if I've gotten used to it or if months of use have cleaned out the pipes, but I can't taste it at all now.
Garden hose water is still the best tasting to me.
Quit smoking, start kicking people in the shins at bus stations?
As appealing as this is, one of the reasons I keep the last remaining vice after cigarettes is so I don't go out and kick people.
Besides, I wouldn't want to crowd shrift's territory.
I've heard that, too, but I'm leery.
Supposedly boxes are the screw tops of the future - they look cheap now, but preserve the flavor as well if not better than glass, and are much cheaper to manufacture.
Also lighter to ship.
Right, which makes then greener.

Wouldn't let light in either.
This is also applicable to cans coming back in microbrewery ditribution.
This may all be true, but you will pry my wine bottles out of my cold dead hands. Or something.
I love my Lake Michigan water source. When my mom still lived in Minooka (far southwest 'burbs), they had some other source and it was nasty tasting stuff. I'd go to visit her with a few bottles of water I had refilled from my tap just so I could avoid hers.
When I went to the grocery store on Sunday, I bought beer for home for the first time in years, maybe even a decade. I buy beer to take to parties and might have some leftover to bring home, but I hardly ever drink at home, especially when I'm by myself. However, I couldn't pass up Smithwicks on sale ($14 for a 12-pack). Love that smooth stuff!
I don't want to drink wine out of no stinkin' box.
