I avoid energy drinks, as am a very health conscious person. I once did and suffered a bad throat.

I say drink beer, water and juice, and no pops you'll enjoy them better and will stay healthy as well.

Another energy drink disliker. I have the occasional sports drink after I've done physical activity, but I've only ever tried Red Bull once and almost spat it out. Now coffee, on the other hand...

be it cafe style, iced, or whatever, it's good stuff

I am not much of a coffee fan really but I am getting there.

Tea. Coffee makes me puke. I don't eat candy or drink pop, so if I'm on a fifty mile bike ride and I run out of gas, a can of Dew and a Three Musketeers bar gets me home.

Somewhat unrelated (but this is the off-topic forum

), I was researching the Coca-Cola dissolves a tooth overnight myth and came across this interesting study: Dissolution of dental enamel in soft drinks (pdf).

They dropped teeth into cups filled with various liquids, and continually measured their weight for two weeks. Cola drinks (Coca-Cola, Pepsi & Dr. Pepper) were actually the least erosive soft-drinks (around 1.5% weight loss), while Mountain Dew and Diet Mountain Dew were the most erosive, with weight losses of 8.01% and 6.17% respectively. Surprisingly, pH value did not correlate to erosion at all.

Dropping the tooth in root beer did the same as dropping it into tap water. Tea and coffee had about 0.2% weight loss, while Arizona iced tea had a comparatively huge 4.86% weight loss.

They guessed this 14-day test is comparable to an average consumption of 25 ounces (about 750ml) of the drink daily for 13 years.

I hear ya! When I lived in San Diego for a couple of years, all the natives seemed to have bad teeth. I had the most cavities ever on my dental visit after living there about a year and a half (which has not been seen before or since). Right after I made that visit to the dentist I switched to bottled water. When I left San Diego (the west coast), I went back to tap water - being the cheapskate that I am.

theres pretty much nothing sweeter to me than a can of Dew right before bed. I cant hack the taste of coffee, but if I do drink any kind of cappucino it has to be a frappucino. Double shot, 1 caf, 1 decaf with a shot of caramel. OOOOOOlala. Oh yea and the other day I had Mint flavored tea. It was spearmint and man it was surprisingly really good.
