Thursday Two Questions #101 Drink Addictions

Blue Agave Margarita
Blue Agave Margarita is one of my favorite drinks, next to wine, Coke, and Vietnamese Ice-coffee, and Espresso, and Cappuccino.

Is it true that there is something in Coke that causes people to be addicted to it? I stopped drinking Coke for several weeks now, and losing weight as the result. When I was still addicted, there was nothing compared to the taste. Now when I taste it, it doesn't seemed to taste as good as I remember - and I don't have to have it once a day.
I also stop drinking Vietnamese Ice Coffee often too, it is another weight gainer because it uses condense milk, I switched to Espresso / regular black coffee instead.


Most of the drinks I was addicted to were so potent / addicting, and so fattening that I have to quit. I can't just cut down, because of the yearn for more if I have a taste. There is still another drink on the list that I have to "cut down, or cut out" but it is so hard...

Here are Self Sagacity's Thursday Two Questions #101

  1. 1) My favorite drink is also Coke, but after I saw the poster on bad it is for you, I stop.

    2) I need coke in the afternoon, when I feel sleepy!

    1. Nothing tastes like coke, really. There is addictive in there, but I am not afraid for you being addictive.

  2. If you asked my friends that question about me, I'm sure most of them would say beer, wine, or scotch. But my favorite drink by far is a cold glass of whole milk. Mmmmmmm! Got milk? I do! I drink about 2 gallons of it every week. Sometimes I order it with dinner in restaurants and get strange looks! I recently switched to 2%, but it's just not the same.

    1. Milk? I was going for the addiction of milk to, but it wasn't tempting enough, although I know what you mean. I can just eat cream when I was young like cups full if I was allowed.

  3. I love water! I add an Wu-Yi tea bag to it and drink it all day every day. I have to be honest. I have been addicted to Pepsi and Mountain Dew and kicking them was not easy, but once I did I do not regret it one bit. The first week I lost 5 pounds of belly fat.

    1. See! That is what I am talking about with sodas. I kicked Coke and literally lost one inch of belly fat. My tummy used to look like it was pregnant.

  4. oh gee, I make my own Vietnamese coffee everyday, I so love it, and I am trying to cut it too, at least had been telling myself to cut the condense milk :(

    1. I love it too, but good things sometimes have bad effects. But if you are skinny, don't worry about it.

  5. I love Blue Agave Margaritas, the last time I had one was in Cabo. My favorite alcoholic drink is a Bloody Mary but I never make them at home. My favorite non alcoholic drink is water and sometime Sprite Zero.

    Anywhere for the water. Alcoholic drinks I only have when we go out for dinner or to parties which is not often.

    1. Cabo is the right place for a margarita especially blue. Since we don't go anywhere, we have our drinks in the backyard or at the dinner table.

  6. Nice questions. Yes, those addictions can lead to medical and weight problems. That happened with me with Diet Coke and coffee.

    1) What is your favorite drink? Alcohol and non alcohol.
    Beer and white wine and Diet Coke and water.
    2) When do you usually have your favorite drink?
    A half Diet Coke for lunch most every day.
    Eight or more ounces of water with my meds, morning, noon, evening, and night.
    Wine when Mrs. Jim also is having some.
    Beer -- I've drunk four bottles out of my six-pack in the last year.

  7. 1) My favorite drink is coffee, especially in the morning and sometimes in the late evening when it is chilly.

  8. My favorite drink is soda...diet soda. I love either Frostie Rootbeer or Diet Rite Tangerine or cola. I usually have one of these flavors on the weekends, but sometimes I'll have it through week either at dinner or lunch time.

    1. I understand that there is quite a difference in diet verses regular soda.
      A 330 ml can of Diet Coke contains around 1.3 Calories (5 kilojoules) compared to 142 Calories (595 kJ) for a regular can of Coca-Cola.

  9. I don't drink alcohol.
    If I did, I'd love Baileys. It's pretty much all I can stand.

    Fave drink would be sort of juice mixed with water and ice.
    I'm weird huh. But it's true.

    Aloha!
