When you’re really hot and thirsty, would would you like most ?

Plain old water has a clear lead.

You forgot Whiskey. ;)

I would drink Water or Tea, which ever comes 1st :)

Either a soft drink, or Iced Tea :D !

You forgot Whiskey.

No, I didn't forget. I was hoping to evoke such a response.

BTW, some folks prefer hot tea.

I like sugar in my tea Ravi :D

i'll have some h20 or a cup of nice coool tea...Unless i'm in the mood for the good old coke:D.

I too like sugar. I also add milk/creamer.

nice cuppa char - but then I'm a Brit

Did you mean chaa ? Close enough, I guess.

Does milk taste good with Tea?

Chaa it is then - trust the Brits to take a word from someone else's language and then misspell it. But best taken without any milk or sugar - just kills the taste.

Does milk taste good with Tea?

Yes, but then it's an acquired taste.

Cokes the drink for me

Sorry - to clear any confusion Tea = char/chaa as drunk in the UK. As in 'a nice cuppa char'

talking of which, time for tea!

but only put a tiny bit of milk in your tea like 20ml or something.
i like sugar in my tea aswell:D
i say chaa at home cus i speak urdu and english at home.
and oh yea,i like that site's address because it says:nicecupofteaandasitdown

when the tea is light brown then that means you put the right amount so pour the milk in slowly and like always if you dont like the flavour then you dont have to add the milk next time.

I drink hot and cold tea. Get most of what I drink from www.adagio.com , good teas, reasonable prices. I bought some samples of green and black teas, have about 18 varieties right now. All real teas, not infused with any flower buds and other crap.

Nice site, SNGX.

Tea is good. two sugars and a splash of milk to take the bitter edge off!

On a hot day though, id go for a frosty beer - super chilled, mmm!

Mmm, beeeer!

Nothing beats a really cold beer after coming in out of the hot sun! I mean on the verge of freezing cold. :D

hell yeah!!

You have never tried a pint of 50/50 Theakestones Old Peculiar mixed with Theakestones Best Bitter then, have you? Not for the faint hearted but a Torkshireman's pint often known as 'Standard' in Richmond up North.

Not all of us here can drink though ;) . (or don't want to)

H2o Ftw!!!!

1. When I'm about to pass out it's gotta be fruit punch
2. When that can is empty, ice tea.
3. For other semi-emergency situations, I'm a coker, been addicted for years.
4. Birch Beer (PA Dutch brand), should be served with all baked bean and pork dishes!

I would like to think that the majority of us at TS are decently smarty by starndard. So I could see why h2o or a cool softdrink are the more popular choices. We're probably A) Health consciouse people in the least OR B) just gotten use to sittin or our bums at the computer, and what would do us more joy than to sip of a coke/pepsi while at work on the pc.

H20 is alot better then crappy Coke / Pepsi Supersmash :D

although i posted above h20 im now starting to drink more coke, so depends on my mood now

iced tea is one good thirst relief ..

Yes, it normally depends on the mood ;). I drink plain old cool h20 most of the time though...

When I am really thirsty I prefer nice ice cold water. Or if there is DR. Peper sitting around I will have that.

Who drinks milkshake when they're hot???

Ice cold beer's quite a head rush after running around in the hot sun for an hour or two. Sort of like compressing half a Saturday night into 15 minutes.:confused:

Its plain old water for me!

H20 FTW!!! H20 is what your thirst calls for, don't try any other substitute. (I have at least 10 bottles of water on my desk per summer day.) :P

plain ol' H2O if i was dead thirsty....otherwise beer!!!

A cold beer is the best in some situations.

So I went to my favorite watering hole yesterday, and a got a rude shock.

It was closed.

It had slipped my mind that yesterday was a religious holiday.

I don't recall any 'dry' days in the US.

True enough, we have become godless heathens.

Although, there still might be a couple of dry towns, down at the Jersey shore.

True enough, we have become godless heathens.

Where did that come from, Cap ?

Each to his/her own.

We have several religions here. And that's good.

But a dry day on a religious holiday is a bit of a problem, because there are too many religious holidays here.

Chilled milkshake for me. Preferably banana. :)

I was thinkin' it might be IV fluids for summer in Dubai.

The US is a capitalist society, which in most states means that "Blue Laws" have been repealed. So, we don't stop for religious holidays. OK, maybe Christmas day,a little. Our ideal is the "separation of church and state". What we've actually acheived is the "separation of church and enterprise". Since church attendance is way down, and everybody's at the mall on Sunday, "godless heathens" is a tad of a hyperbole, but far from innacurate. "Praise the Lord and pass the Budweiser", might illuminate the hypocracy of it all. Basically, if you want to abstain from alchohol, the state isn't going to help prop up your character, it's incumbent upon the individual. And good luck with that, religious holidays are "inconvenient". Hey, you said so yourself:

"Praise the Lord and pass the Budweiser"

I'll go along with that !

LOL captaincranky, I think I might have to try that this summer. ;)
