and a bit of stevia to sweeten it. I've read it's healthy and can lighten your mood - and goodness, don't we need that these days!

I don't drink sodas very much, anymore, but when I do it's either Dr. Pepper or Mr. Pibb.

I mostly drink instant Raspberry Iced Tea.

When I'm bowling in a league or tournament I'll drink Fruit Punch Gatorade.

I like iced tea, soda, lemonade, Kool-Aid, fruit juices (especially apple juice), hot tea, milk, the list goes on and on.

But I literally can't live without water. So that's my first choice.

I've mentioned this before: I love Starbucks chai tea latte, but I've been boycotting them because they're anti-union. Of all the boycotts I've ever done, that one hurts me the most. I've been on a mission to find another place where I like it as much with very little success. 🙁

But what am I going to do? Either I stand up for what I believe in or I don't.
