1.Dr. Pepper = Cherry Coke = Mexican coca cola (yeah it tastes different)
2. The tastes of diet and coke zero have grown on me
3. Pepsi
4 Classic coca cola (but it has to be super cold or it's no good)

99% of the time I drink water or fruit juice. When I get into Bern I usually pick up some A&W Root Beer because you can only find it at this one candy store chain, no one else sells it. (Swiss people hate Root Beer for some reason).

Light Grapefruit soda (or as my wife calls it "Gift", which means poison in german) is good on occasion. I've also become partial to Sprite Zero

The best soft drink of all time was Crystal Pepsi but alas, it is dead. The best currently is Vanilla Coke though I only know one grocery store in town that carries 1 liter bottles of it. Coke is awesome and Dr Pepper is suitable when no other alternatives are available.

My favourite carbonated drink is definitely Vimto. I think it is exclusive to the British isles, so I should explain. It's a soda flavoured with grapes, raspberries and blackcurrants. It's delicious.

If we're including other types of soft drink, I also especially like cranberry and pineapple juice. I'm actually very fond of fresh fruit and of fruit juices. I'd live on an all-fruit diet if I could! :D

Man, that sounds good. I get soda imported sometimes, and I think I might have to find that one online somehow. I am always up for tasting new exotic Sodas.

One of my favorite Imported Sodas would have to be Italian Irish Cream Soda w/ Cream. It is pretty much a combination of cream soda, with a little more of a creamy taste, light carbonation, and cream on the top. It is very good, but only one restaurant sells it, and it is five bucks a glass.

Followed by:
A&W Root beer (regular or Diet)

Water

Personally I'd rather get a nice iced tea...however...

Sprite (regular or zero)
A&W Root Beer
And any cherry soda, more precisely Stewart's or Boylan Bottleworks. Dr. Pepper is crud compare to a good Boylan Black Cherry soda sweetened with pure cane sugar!

Likewise. I remember when I used to be overweight, like 200-210 pounds like two years ago, now I'm 150. I used to drink Mountain Dew all the time and it was breaking my face out really bad and on several occasions I'd get stomach aches from drinking it too much. I stopped drinking sodas and that stuff like over a year ago. All I drink is water or orange juice every now and then. Other than that, just milk whenever I'm eating something it goes well with.

Seconded

Soda will dehydrate you faster then a sponge.

Any Energy drinks: are Kidney failures waiting to happen.

Alcohol: well you know that's not even soft but still goes to your liver.

Water will hydrate you and keep your body alive, even if it can't give you a boost of energy as well as what those Kidney Bombs give I'd still prefer water over K-Bombs.

If you are dieing becuase you drank too much Redbull, Water will make you feel a lot better too. It'll make you piss yellow like a race horse, but you'll feel a lot better.

If your piss is yellow that means you're past the Dehydration point. If it's yellow and burns like hell, then you have a problem, if you feel it in your gut like a knife stabbing you, then you seriously need something.

Water will clean your system out of all that ****. It will make you piss yellow becuase the water is removing all that stuff.

I know from experience, first hand. I treat those energy drinks more critically then to treat alcohol.

I don't drink soda often anymore; at least, not like I used to. Dr. Pepper had been my favorite for years, but I used to drink regular Pepsi a lot, too.

Also, for anyone who lives in the southern United States and can't find Vanilla Coke - go to Waffle House. I'd had Vanilla Coke there before I ever saw it in a store.

Since, I've dropped soda almost completely (usually only for rum and coke when in the mood), I drink a lot more water, juice, wine, and coffee more regularly. I still reserve a couple nights a week for beers though.

It all depends on the consistency and the texture of the pulp =/ I like some pulp, like pulp that feels like you're biting into a freshly picked juicy orange. other times it feels really dry and a bit sour like drinking Cardboard.

With pulp, it is real hit and miss. I really like the orange juice that you get at IHOP, which has just the right amount of pulp in it for me. On the other side, I can't stand Minute Made High Pulp (maybe because they are a bad brand to begin with), but I like Tropicana's medium Pulp.

There is a fine line between to much pulp and too little, and many companies cross one of them and screw up their orange juice.

What types do you guys drink? I drink Tropicana and Sunny Delight (Yeah, I know, but it is actually pretty good).

Waffle House is awesome.:P I've only had it twice, but that was in the South and I live in the Northeast, where there are none. Actually I didn't realize that the Waffle House was a chain until relatively recently, when I saw them in a different part of the country. I always thought that they were privately owned places. Like the name waffle house was just a description.
