Sweet Tea vs. Soda

Plaid Pants2 — Fri, 28 Apr 2017 21:17:33 GMT

If you had to choose between sweet tea, regular soda, unsweetened tea, or water, which would you choose?

Because both sweet tea and soda are loaded with sugar, and because I'm not a big plain water drinker, I would choose the unsweetened tea.

You?

Are we talking every day? I went from being addicted to Coke/Diet Coke to being addicted to sweet tea! I haven't had a Diet Coke or regular Coke in over 3 years. I do allow myself a "treat" of sweet tea on the weekends if I'm out with friends or family. My everyday drink is flavored water (Cascade).

Water or unsweetened tea.

I don't drink sweet things.

I'm sweet enough.

I try to drink mainly water, although I rarely get through more than two bottles a day unless it's hot weather.

But I also like tea - just regular tea, not the sugar-filled kind they make in the south.

I drink a diet soft drink now and then, but none of the sugar ones. I like diet ginger ale, diet Squirt, and diet 7-up.

Anything that is just cloyingly sweet isn't for me.

Unsweetened tea with a slice of lemon.

Water. I don't like tea. I'll have a soda from time to time, but there's too much sugar in them to drink regularly. I won't drink diet soda. Nothing with artificial sweetners. They make me sick.

I drink water. I stopped drinking diet soda several years ago

My favorite thing to drink is LaCroix or San Pelligrino with a lemon slice

Water. I drink water, black coffee, and unsweet tea. I would drink too many calories with soda or sweet tea.

I drink water pretty much from the time I get up in the morning. I don't drink coffee. On a rare occasion, I will have a sweet tea or a Mexican Coca-Cola (made with real cane sugar not HFCS).

Unsweetened tea and water...used to be addicted to diet coke.

My first choice is water. If I do have tea, it is tea I have brewed at home for unsweetened iced tea.

Gave up diet sodas years ago. Never really drank regular sodas. Love water and drink it all day long and ask for it if we go out to eat. I also love hot teas and iced tea but watch the caffeine. I also love coffee but limit myself to 2 cups in the morning....

We drink iced tea year round in my house. Sweet tea with lemon. Or half and half (half iced tea, half lemonade).

I drink water most of the time, but I do like tea sweetened with Stevia. I also like it with lemon or half tea/half lemonade.

I drink a ton of unsweetened green tea and regular tea. I have to drink a lot to keep my kidney flushed so I also drink a lot of water and eat sugar free popsicles.I love milk and juice but they are loaded with sugar. I crave Pepsi but don't want all that artifical sweetener.

Unsweetened tea for me. Sometimes, I put a little agave in, but mostly try to leave it unsweetened. I like it both ways but I don't like sweet tea, way too much sugar takes over the taste of the tea.

I don't know what to drink anymore after the news came out about diet soda. I was drinking 1 diet soda a day but stopped. I do like iced tea, but I like diet, even diet sweet tea but then it has artificial flavor/sugars in it so wouldn't that be as bad as diet soda?
