G'Day SSTU & welcome to the site!

While I am a virtual non-drinker these days, I remember making myself horribly nauseous on Southern Comfort and coke in my teenage years.........

Just a straight Coke (black fizzy liquid not white powder) for me thanks.

COKE??? :shock: Nev, I'm disappointed! You should be drinking home made apple juice or something healthy like that! :wink:

Sorry Ina,

I don't drink, smoke or associate with naughty women, so if I have to have a vice it has to be cheap, easily avaliable and not too lethal - so coke! I m trying to wean myself off it and do drink water but so far my efforts to come up with a palatable, home produced tipple have been an utter failure!

There you have it....

Do you associate with good women then Nev?!

And SSTU, a rather belated warm welcome here. Mines a red wine ~ yes a bottle would be nice. :drunken:
If in doubt ~ use a hammer!

I just looked at the start of this post and SSTU has certainly managed to get a good response from only one post :lol: I wonder if he has ever checked back in?

hi Nev, coke is very addictive, give it up for 2 days and you'll get severe headaches and be as ratty as hell.

From one addict to another :(

Coke keeps me awake better than coffee does - the last time I drank quantities of the stuff was while I was working on my MSc. Now I'm even trying to get off coffee - at least the full-blast type. Funny enough, with de-caf most of the time I am actually less tired overall.

I really hate Coke!

So much so, I won't have it in the house. My kids aren't allowed it as it drives them up the wall. (I have only experienced this a couple of times after them coming home from a birthday party and had to tear them off the ceiling!) They are quite happy with fruit juice and the celebratory lemonade on birthdays and Christmas.

Goodness, I am such a terrible mother. I am totally surprised that they still want to live with me. :shock:
