It tastes good. Some people eat/drink for pleasure.

I've recently given up Diet Coke (didn't want the phosphoric acid anymore)
in favor of sparkling water (seltzer, club soda, etc.) Don't care whether
it's flavored; I just like the bubbles.

Yes, it quenches my thirst better. I drink a lot of fizzy water.

I've switched to flat water, but I do love my seltzer. It was hard
to lose those bubbles.

Southeastern Ontario. There's enough quinine in our tonic to prevent
the strain of malaria that is common here.

I buy it for the same reason. I have a G & T a couple of nights a week
and have not had malaria since. It must be working.

(I detect a bit of humor in Doris's post though)

I don't like the fizz. My favorite drink is plain old cold water.
On the rare occasion I do drink soda, I pour warm soda over ice so it
reduces the carbonation. Once in a while I can enjoy a good cream soda.

I couldn't agree more!
On a hot day when I was about 13, I tried a cola (possibly Pepsi) from a
street vendor and found it vile! I have not had a 'cola' in the 55 years
since, and I'm sure I've missed nothing.

Pretty much the same here. The only use I've had for it was for cleaning up
old coins. I read somewhere that is is good cleaner for toilets but I think
I'll stick with a good daily splash of bleach

Oh, I drink tap water, too. Over ice. We've got good tap water
here in Ann Arbor.

Occasional beer, iced tea (unsweetened), hot tea (ditto), milk, Vernor's,
etc. But mostly water, flat or fizzy.

That's my preferred drink...nature's champagne (water). I do like root beer
though and I keep a 2-liter bottle of it in my van for work. I drink water
all day but the occasional sip of root beer is good.

Funny, it's a staple for work but I never drink it at home.

We do not consume HFCS in any quantity. Most restaurant ketchup has it in

I just don't believe that it causes weight gain. If it did then everyone
who drinks it would be fat and they're not. There are plenty of skinny
people who drink diet soda. I worked with a guy who simply switched from
regular soda to diet and lost 10 pounds right away.

I didn't phrase that well. I buy Diet Coke with Lime because it tastes
good. Pepsi does not taste good to me.

Regular soda tastes vile to me and makes me thirsty. I don't see how people
can drink it.

I've always thought that malaria is a tropical mosquito-carried disease. If
they have it in Ontario, why don't all Americans get shots for it to prevent
it. wth?

Does the carbonation in beer count as fizz? During warm weather
nothing quenches my thirst better than ice cold Genesee Cream Ale... I
was out clearing brush at 9AM and just a half hour ago called it
quits, I already downed two cans, and all my clothes are soaking, time
to hop into the shower. Genesee is the best deal in town, 30 can
cases at $14.99... I prefer supporting a local brewery... and I'm
definitely not going to buy flag waving foreign brews... NYS brews
great beers and makes wonderful world class wines.

I'm originally from Belleville and even I fell for your post.

But I did read up that indeed Malaria was present in Kingston and Perth
during the building of the Rideau canal, brought here by British
soldiers from the West Indies or India who built canals and railways
there and the Temperate mosquitos in eastern Ontario swamps re-bred it.

However that seems isolated example. But you did make me read up on it!

LOL, Doris...I agree tonic has a use. Along the same line, so does diet ginger ale (bad cold and/or nausea) and club soda (immediate stain removal from carpet).

Yes, she was kidding about there being malaria in Ontario. I take Quinine
Sulfate every day for cramps in my feet. I was advised to drink tonic
(which I did) but it had no effect. Probably not enough quinine in it any
more.

Oh. Okay then. I didn't know if they had it there or not.

I think we've been through this before. Used to be able to get quinine
tablets OTC here. I took those but I also used to drink gin and tonic.
Tried the diet tonic when I was pregnant, not realizing that they lowered
the amount of quinine in it by then.

Now I find that drinking water helps with the leg cramps. Even if it's only
a small amount. I should just keep a bottle of it by my bed.

Well, one reason is that malarial prevention is not by vaccination
shots. The other is that malarial mosquitoes fled from Ontario and the
US following advice from their hair analyst about sensitivity to DDT.

I was getting cramps in my legs and feet, but I was also getting them
in weird places, like the palms of my hands and under my chin. I
tried potassium, kept water within reach all day long and drank a lot
of it but stopping that d*mn diuretic is what worked for me. It was
almost instant.

With your huge grotesque ass you'd be like living with a herd of
