What was your last thing you drank?

[on the rocks]

Kool-Aid
Black Cherry

I made it old school; where you add your own sugar and add the flavor packet.  None of that stuff with the sugar already mixed in.

OH YEAHHHH!!

 I got the house all for myself this morning so I thought about it and made the decision to enjoy myself. I'm having some açai with vodka as a breakfast! As soon as I'm over it I will start drinking some more!

[stalker]

Coffee so strong that it would come out on drug tests.

[Flatchester]

I have to confess that I am addicted to diet cola.

Flavored sparkling water. Yes I'm a fruit lol.

Careful of having too much aspartame. You're better off healthwise just watering down regular cola. :p I try to avoid soda as much as I can, but I enjoy fizzy drinks, hence the sparkling water.

[Kope]

Good ol' water

I stay away from aspartame and drink a brand that uses sucralose  which is supposedly safer.   I am not sure any diet drink is really that good for you though.

Artificial sweeteners in general are considered carcinogenic. Not sure how actually true that is, or how bad the long term effects are compared to something like smoking, but I think it's best to mitigate the consumption of any kind of "fake" foods and drinks.

[on the rocks]

Artificial sweeteners are only potentially carcinogenic at doses that are physically impossible to consume.  At least when they study mice.  No studies on humans who regularly consume artificial sweeteners have ever shown a statistically significant increased risk of cancer.  Aspartame has been on the market for half a century, so there's plenty of data to look at on the subject.

The actual negative of artificial sweeteners is that because they are still very sweet, one's body is prompted to react as if it's about to receive a big batch of calories; more than it needs at the moment.  So the body is more libel to store any calories one does consume with the artificial sweetener as fat.  One should really focus on simply trying to limit how much of any sugar they consume; doesn't matter if it's natural or artificial; if it's refined or if you're gnawing directly on a chunk of cane.  Our bodies evolved in environments where sweet things were rare so they want to store as many calories as they can when they encounters sweetness.  We've got access to as much sugar as we want now, but we're still working with that same operating system.  We're reliant on self control, for the most part, to regulate our sugar intake.

I drink a lot of unsweetened tea as a beverage of choice.  Something with flavor, but no attempt at sweetness, real or fake.
In fact, that's what I last drank before this post.  Unsweetened ice tea.
