I'm a big fan of low sodium V8 with a splash of Tabasco. Actually, I think I'm going to pour myself one now.

I drink the juice of a lime or lemon mixed with water. I read somewhere that its good for the liver. I figure I owe it to my liver to drink one or 2 glasses everyday. Sometimes the juice of a beet, apple, and grapefruit in a juicer. Also read the liver likes these foods. I would do it more often but I'm lazy and not a fan of cleaning the juicer...

Sounds boring, but I drink water. Since I quit drinking I cannot get enough. Some days up to 2 gallons! I don't understand it but I guess I need it. Also coffee with cream or if I want a splurge something fancy from Starbucks.

Ok, dumb question, but isn't bitters pretty much straight grain alcohol with added flavors? Or arg we talking about something else?

Sleepy time tea, soda water with cranberry and lime, herbal tea.. Debating on trying kombucha but it contains .05 percent alcohol from the fermenting but it's supposed to be very cleansing and healing, especially to the liver. I've made it and drank it for years but haven't had it in awhile. Anyone familiar?

Coke zero, flavored water, water. Healthy 100% perhaps not, but that's what I'm on.

I'm a big fan of ginger lemon and honey tea, but you've got to keep the honey under control.

Yes all bitters are very strong tinctures made with grain alcohol. For me, it works because I don't feel anything from it and I'm not in danger of overusing it so it BECOMES a drink I'll feel effects fromso therefore in my experience it's not an alcoholic drink. I understand that many people don't like to add bitters to their drinks because they don't want anything with alcohol, or cannot have anything at all with alcohol.
I still drink a few dashes of bitters because I love the flavor. I also still use mouthwash, drink kombucha, and take NyQuil if I'm desperately sick and need sleep.

If you're gonna diss bitters, get busy on most foodstuffs that contain any kind of added flavoring. Alcohol is the carrier for about a third.

Soda-water with lime and green tea with honey are my two best friends!!

I drink coffee and tea. I am not really a pop drinker.

Adding bitters is like: adding vanilla extract or any other extract to flavor something. My bitters and soda has less alcohol than an n/a beer. I also still cook with wine, I just don't drink it.
My problem was getting drunk. Some people can't be in the same room as anything with alcohol in it. They might be in danger of overindulging in bitters, or vanilla extract, or rubbing alcohol, or mouthwash. It depends what kind of drinker/alcoholic one is I suppose.

I wasn't suggesting that, just asking a simple question. There are folks from all around the world here and some words have different meanings in different places. Sorry if it was taken the wrong way.
