Now I drink a lot of water. Diet or no, I’ve got a gallon of cold water in the fridge which is probably not going to make it through the night…
But on a diet… Holy Christ! There must be something else to drink! Diet soda is generally a no-go because… ick… Coke Zero actually isn’t bad, but generally isn’t available at the soda fountain. There is tea, of course, but I only like instant, and sweetened in form…
More later once I find a hotspur.

I like most teas but try crystal lite. Lots of different flavors so you should be able to find one you like and almost all of them don’t taste diety at all. Personally my favorite beverage these days is Arizona Tea Arnold Palmer Lite (aka, half & half). Considerably fewer calories, no diet taste. They have instant packets too.
Not a fan of the brewed teas at all. Laurie LOVES the Arizona Sweet Tea… I took a sip once… I think my pancrease kicked me in the ‘nads! I don’t know how she can drink that stuff. I look at the Crystal lights, and mix up some Nestea in the interim.
That’s the beauty of the half & half, the lemonade half may change your opinion. In any case, the instant packets are, well, instant (like all instants, they start out brewed tho so ymmv).
I drink a lot of green tea or fruit infusions (fruit tea without the tea). Especially the fruit infusions don’t need sugar at all.
Fruit tea without the tea? Color me intrigued… any brand suggestions?
