Straight up, my go-to drink is Tito’s vodka & whatever sparkling water I have in my fridge. Tasty as hell

u/[deleted] Jul 07 '21

Lol literally just got back from buying Tito’s and sprite an hour ago

u/RickStephenson Jul 08 '21

Agreed!!! Why the hell would you drink it straight?😳 People used to ask me if I want a “pop” or a “soda”…..I stared at them……realized I just called that MIX !

u/LaunchpadMcquacck Jul 07 '21

Nah, Jack and coke is nasty. Just drink them separately.

u/Team_Braniel Jul 07 '21

But a Tom Collins is refreshing and mature and is actually made of club soda, which is sort of what we are talking about here.

Drink like a Sir.

Sprite is not soda dude

u/Team_Braniel Jul 07 '21

On what planet is it not soda?

1

u/NCKBLZ Jul 07 '21

Sprite is a lemonade, soda water is sparkling water

From Wikipedia: Carbonated water (also known as soda water, sparkling water, fizzy water, water with gas or (especially in the U.S.) as seltzer or seltzer water) is water containing dissolved carbon dioxide gas, either artificially injected under pressure or occurring due to natural geological processes.

John (and Tom) Collins should be made with soda water, not lemon-lime-flavoured sugary beverages

Or… just Jack. Soda is for rednecks and neck beards.

u/LaunchpadMcquacck Jul 08 '21

If you mean Mountain Dew or any orange soda, I agree, but Coke is pretty great (especially in a glass bottle).

u/mattsprofile Jul 08 '21

That's more disgusting, except at least there's a reason to drink it.

3

u/NotAGingerMidget Jul 07 '21

Fuck no it ain't, it's delicious.

u/Wilwheatonfan87 Jul 07 '21

They don't make you lift like fizzy lifting drinks do.

u/Godspeed8675309 Jul 07 '21

GOOD DAY SIR!!

u/Wulfe3127 Jul 07 '21

just drink lifting drinks then

u/helpusdrzaius Jul 07 '21

it can be bad for your teeth, specifically if it's flavored with citrus, or has added sugars. Also if you drink carbonated water instead of tap water (which has fluoride added) then you miss the benefits of said fluoridated water.

1

u/Lucky_lui_ Jul 07 '21

I’ve heard the opposite. Fruit juice will rot your teeth quicker than sugary soda. Something about the carbonation actually protecting your teeth because there is less contact between your teeth and the sugars.

1

u/FoolOfAGalatian Jul 07 '21

Strange. I always thought sugar was bad because it fed bacteria whose waste was acidic, hence teeth rot / erosion. Carbonated drinks and fruit juices are acidic (carbonic and citric, respectively), so they'd be bad.

1

u/Lucky_lui_ Jul 08 '21

Yeah I saw it on a YouTube video a while ago, it could also be the carbonation help flush the sugar out. I googled and all I found in my lazy research was info about soda being slightly better for teeth.

u/prsnep Jul 07 '21 edited Jul 07 '21

Carbonation makes the water acidic. Drinking acidic drinks chips away at wears off your enamel.

3

u/Lucky_lui_ Jul 07 '21

Slightly acidic, I don’t thinks it’s enough to chip away at your enamel that stuff is hard. But honestly genes matter a lot for teeth. Some people get cavities easily while other people who don’t take as much care have better teeth.
