it is a tough one ^_~

I'd have to say in terms of hot drinks, Tea or Coffee both do it for me although I have to say I use coffee as a fuel and reserve cups of tea for relaxing :)

Sodas/fizzy drinks, I LOVE diet coke and tonic water (though not at the same time ;))

Alcohol is a tough one since it depends what company I'm with. At family BBQs and get together there's nothing wrong with a good solid ice cold lager :D, when I'm out I'm more into mixers like G+T (yes I am an old person inside), JD and Coke, Vodka and Lime, or cocktails (wonderful memories of me and a mate in loose linen suits sipping manhattans at a jazz bar off pink lane in town - excellent :D:D) Can't really say I like wine but most other drinks are fair play.

Water (NOT bottled xDD) and milk are lovely as is orange juice (especially after a night out)

I am quite addicted to Sprite. That and the rare beer or ale.

And pop isn't soda unless it's orange or grape.

I just got back from the Caribbean, from Windjammer Landing on St. Lucia, home of the best rum punch in the world, and so my answer has to be:

RUM PUNCH!!

(yes, pop. Not soda. it's also duck duck grey duck)

The only state in the US that calls it Duck Duck Grey Duck is Minnesota.

We've tested this theory, and it's true.

If I have to choose one it'd be water, since it's what I drink the most.

Correct, and we are clearly right. I mean... the minority of the population is NEVER wrong, its always the majority that is wrong. When 1/50 people agree with something, they seem to think tehy are always right, and everyone else is wrong. Must be true :)

It's made with sugar, and there's no match for it.

Sugar > High Fructose Corn Syrup.

Much cleaner taste.

If you have a Jason's Deli near you, go find some of the Dr Pepper they sell there. It's an entirely different drink from what's sold in stores.

First time I heard "Duck Duck Grey Duck" was at scout camp like, two years ago. There was a kid there from Minnesota (Pronounced it "Minnasouta") and we were going to play duck duck goose to kill some time.

His turn comes up, "Duck, duck, GREY DUCK" and we just looked at him.

Memorable times.

:) I <3 my Minnesota. I really want to go back in time, make my parents move to an eastern state, grow up there, then come here and listen to accents... I don't enjoy listening to myself saying boat as much as other people do :(
