What non-sugary drinks to folks have at home? I'm getting tired of water.

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.

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.

I'm all about the lemon and orange Vitamin Water Zero these days.

Fizzy water with fancy bitters! I have chocolate, grapefruit, cardamom, and lavender bitters. (Oh hey, the fancy bitters, chocolate, and salt store in PDX does mail order! Whooo!)

I do not want a Blizzard, but that's because I have homemade brownies and caramel sauce from the Infamous BlueJay right now.

I'm trying to be more aware of how much sugar I eat, and I prefer dark chocolate anyway, but I'm not ever giving up sugar in my coffee. Nope.

I have no opinion on blizzards as I have not had one, but I hate that concern troll shit. I notice a lot of folks use their FB posts to be generally judgy of other people. Like one woman I know is always posting shit about other people's parenting choices. I don't get it. She's got a great son, why isn't he affirmation enough that she's a good mom? I don't get the need to follow that up with a dose of "the rest of you are fucking it up."

As for sugar, I am trying to cut down my intake on the refined stuff but somehow I haven't cut down on my glass of wine in the evening even though I know that's probably my main source of sugar at this point. I can usually skip dessert unless we are going to the ice cream store.

Tommy, I do the fizzy water thing a lot. I'll dilute juice or just add a splash of bitters.
