What non-sugary drinks to folks have at home? I'm getting tired of water.
I have a SodaStream machine that makes my water fizzy. That's pretty much all I drink other than my morning trough of coffee. (Fizzy water > non-fizzy water.)
I can beat up demons until the cows come home, and then I can beat up the cows.

tommy, I drink mostly water--filtered tap water kept at near-freezing by our excellent fridge. Occasionally, clear soda. Even less occasionally, locally bottled, no-sugar-added, no HFC cranberry juice cut half with clear soda or water. And because OJ rips me up, once in a while I'll have OJ/mango juice, no-sugar, no HFCs, cut half with clear soda. Boring as hell, but I'm used to it. The rare pitcher of iced tea is unsweetened and unpolluted with lemon. And I do have an occasional glass of clear soda with a twist of lemon--but in order to be able to drink it, it requires a pinch (literally, a pinch) of sugar in a 12 oz glass to mitigate the lemon bite.

Mmm, fizzy water.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I put TrueLemon (they have many flavors) in my water, thanks to ita for that. There's so little sugar it doesn't matter, but it gives a nice flavor.

But then I remembered that Cincinnati has a place called Putz' Creamy Whip that I've never been to, and now I'm thinking road trip. Because PUTZ' CREAMY WHIP.
YES YOU SHOULD DO THIS!
(I'll be damned; it has a website: [link] That picture of the banana split at the top of the page? WITH THE FACE? Is also on the building, and it freaks me out every time I see it.)

Oh, unsweetened cranberry juice diluted with water at about a 7:1 ratio (water to juice) is pretty tasty. Haven't done that in a while but I remember liking it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Some great ideas--cool!

Well, this is going to be anti-healthy, but the talk of cranberry juice reminds me that I had a really good cocktail recently: orange vodka, Malibu rum, cranberry juice, and OJ. I could drink a pitcher of that on the porch, I tell you what.

Man, that sounds good.
And a Blizzard. I don't feel guilty about ice cream. I mean, I don't eat buckets of it, but donuts, cookies, pie (well, okay, I eat the filling and leave the crust, if I'm staunch enough to do that), cake, and pastries are right off the menu, so you damn betcha I'm having guilt-free ice cream now and then.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I'm all about the lemon and orange Vitamin Water Zero these days.
