[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Related question: why don't many of you have other options in the house other than wine/beef, coffee/tea and water?  Why don't you drink other types of beverages?  Yes they're sugary and not healthy but how is this different than keeping cookies/pastries/cupcakes/ice cream in the house?[/quote]

I personally don't drink beverages other than water, the very occasional glass of wine, and the occasional glass of juice.

Isn't this kind of boring though?  Just drinking water?  Isn't it like eating the same exact thing every single day?  I need variety in my beverages.  I drink lemonade, cranberry juice, OJ, apple juice, etc. depending on the day.  I drink water too but not every meal and mainly in between meals to hydrate.  But when I'm eating, I'd like to wash it down with something that has a taste to it.[/quote]

No, I like water. I like the occasional glass of wine or juice. But I am very balanced and health concious with my choices, and I don't like to "drink my calories." I honestly think you need to recognize that your "need" to have a sweet beverage with food is really, really unusual and not something that other people "need." It would never occur to me to "need" a sugary drink with food. I do happen to like soda with pizza, so once in a blue moon, I'll enjoy that. But 95% of the time, I'm drinking only water with my meals.[/quote]
