Walterjn used to drink nothing but soda (after morning coffee). I haven't had a soda in the last 4 years. I'm drinking more water than anything else, with the occasional Arizona Arnold Palmer.
1 16.9oz in the morning, usually water throughout the day, milk/white/skim with supper. I love milk/white as long as it's cold. Skim, 1%, 2%, doesn't matter. I used to drink it over water, when I was young.
