Mountain dew was originally made as a mixer!

Interesting! Now it's just the stereotyped drink of the ubergamer. Not near as cool!

We rednecks are rather fond of the magical tooth destroyer, as well.

I've switched to diet to cut down my sugar intake, but the standard ol' yeet water is pretty sugary and delicious. Also terrible for you, in any flavor lol.

You actually get more drunk with diet sodas because of the aspartame in the drink. Any bartender will tell you this. The aspartame is actually worse for you than the sugar (albeit still not great because of the amount in the drink) many studies done on the adverse effects of any alternative sweetener.

No argument, here. I'm very easily addicted to substances, and decided to play the odds in the short term, and keep my weight down. If I can get off of 3rd shift, and don't feel the need to shove so much caffeine down my throat, I'm going to try to switch to some sort of tea or something. TBH, I'm just happy that I'm only addicted to caffeine and nicotine, these days. Vicodin and I have gone some rounds.

And from personal experience, it is AWESOME with bourbon, whiskey, rum, and moonshine. It is SOOOOO good.

For what? I made a Mountain Dew vodka the other day, but I can’t imagine what else it’d mix well with.
