my personal favourite while sitting down at the computer would have to be an ice-cold Molson Canadian beer 🙂 ---

I like a cup of hot tea, preferably Twining’s Earl Grey with two sugars. (No, I’m not some fanatical Trekker that’s trying to mimic Jean Luc Picard. I’ve been drinking this stuff long before Next Generation appeared. I do notice that a lot of my hair has fallen out since I started drinking this stuff. Must be some sort of sinister connection there…) Otherwise I just drink water * * * “It’s only common sense, There are no accidents 'round here.” ---

At work: Potfulls of coffee, two Sweeteners and lotsa cream. At home: Beer, plenty of it, any kind but usually Sierra Nevada. * * * “So, for once in my life, let me get what I want. Lord knows, it would be the first time.” ---

Ever since I ruined a keyboard by spilling my drink all over it, I try to drink elsewhere than in front of the computer. (At home, that is. I don’t care if I spill anything on the keyboard at work.) 😉 * * * “I thought: opera, how hard can it be? Songs. Pretty girls dancing. Nice scenery. Lots of people handing over cash.

In the morning it’s coffee, black. In the evening it’s Molson Ice. In between I am usually at work and too busy running around the office fixing computer issues or helping a user so I just chew gum. ---

The great majority of the time when I’m sitting in front of the computer, I usually have a can of pop sitting nearby. Once in a great while, I will drink a wine cooler or a margarita. I guess my favorite would be a Coke or Dr. Pepper. * * * Shadowfox “The dead have risen, and they’re voting Republican!” - Bart Simpson ---

At work, it’s a toss up between Cherry 7-Up and Snapple Raspberry Tea. At home, it’s probably Harp or Corona. ---

At work: Coke. Lots of it. There is no substitute. At home: OJ. Perhaps beer if I have no intentions of doing anything else that night and just wanted to relax. ---

Democritus: are you me? Coffee, all day long (2 Sweet & Lows, lots of creamer, the powder kind). Beer at night…can’t really get Sierra Nevada around here, but I used to drink it when I lived out west. Last night I had a Guinness. Mmmmmm. ---

Usually it’s ice water or weak tea, black. but on those most special occassions, like a Friday night and kellibelli is over, we have been known to sip on the wine we made ourselves or most recently tequilla shooters…and a special note on Kelli’s behalf, YES she was able to aquire a very serious buzz drinking shooters! * * * Any connection between your reality and mine is purely coincidental. ---

During the day it’s Cherry Jolt, and at night it’s either homebrewed beer or Glen Eden single malt whisky. ---
