Water, water, water, water... come on folks, you're in recovery, not prison! 
When I'm feeling crazy I will go for an Arnold Palmer (iced tea with lemonade). Good stuff. My favorite drink is milk, but I'm embarrassed to order it at restaurants unless my 9-year-old is there, so I can act like it's for her.
I have to admit, least and the rest of the root beer crew have me thinking. I used to love that stuff when I was a kid—could be time to revisit it...

I still order my favorite drink, scotch, rocks, splash of water, a wedge of lime squeezed and dropped in, hold the scotch.
I love the new flavored sparkling waters and the crystal light drinks, especially their raspberry green tea.
For steak I like iced tea or coke original with a slice of lemon squeezed in, and another floating on top German style.
Check out these websites too.

Nowadays, I usually go for a nice iced tea. If I'm feeling particularly indulgent, I'll have a Coke. I very rarely have sodas. I like the sparkling water idea. I'm not sure I've ever tried one. Isn't Perrier a sparkling water? May have to give it a go.

I ask for a bottle. I like to be in control of my world
I get through litres of the stuff. Though I'm really excites about goin somewhere and only ordering chips (fries) and having a fricken ice cream soda. Haven't had one since I was about 12.
wow, I may do that today...
Ace thread. Arnold Palmer, huh? Always wondered what that was.

I find a lot of restaurants are serving teas now , not just black and green, but more exotic ones such as mint , and flowering jasmine. I had a lovely noodle dish on wednesday , which was complemented by a flowering jasmine tea
Alternatively have you tried a red or white grape juice. That has 99% of the taste of wine
