I can do this because I just cleaned out and rearranged the fridge yesterday! Cold water Milk Coca-Cola Diet Coke Diet Pepsi (why, I don’t know…we usually only buy Coca-Cola products, it was in the back of the fridge) Lemonade Ginger Ale Root Beer & Cream Soda in bottles…can’t remember the brand name. Guinness Miller Genuine Draft Miller Lite (The above beers are in bottles. We also have some Miller Lite in cans. Like the Diet Pepsi, I have no idea why.) Several varieties of coolers…I like them as a substitute for mixing drinks in the summer, so I usually have the ones flavored like specific cocktails, like Margarita or Pina Colada Many varieties of tea Coffee We have a bunch of wine as well, and my husband doesn’t take much convincing to open a bottle. I think that’s everything. ---

ETA: Forgot the bottle of Cactus Juice left over from last summer. And the tequila. I had no idea we had this much booze. ---

- Brita filtered water - Costco bottled water (for the car) - Orange Juice - various red wines - Schmitt Söhne Riesling - 4 bottles of IBC root beer - some store-brand cans of soda (I got a 24 can mix at one point, there are about half left… mostly grape and orange flavor. ew) - about a dozen kinds of coffee, a coffee maker, a cappuccino maker, and about 15 bottles of flavor syrup for making very tasty lattes - probably two dozen types of teabag - tons of hard liquor and various mixers, but I know the OP said not to count that so I won’t list them. edited to add: oh yeah, milk. But I don’t think of that as something to drink (EEEEEWWW!!!) but rather an ingredient in lattes and other foods, and something to put on cereal. ---

[QUOTE=Qadgop the Mercotan] Only _two_ ginger beers? :eek: [/QUOTE] What can I say? I haven’t been to Bevmo lately. I should also note that my original list should be modified by deleting the Stone IPA, as I am sipping the last of that wonderful brew right…\ now. ---

[QUOTE=Shamozzle] Milk. Man, you guys sure have a lot of stuff in the fridge. [/QUOTE] Well, not really. The 4 bottles of root beer, the OJ, the milk, and the brita water are the only things in the fridge from my list. The rest of the water and soda is in the garage, the tea and coffee are in the cabinet, and the liquor is on a shelf.
