sparking water a great substitute
sparking water a great substitute
Having cravings for beer lately. Just the taste and hold of it. I found sparking water to be much more refreshing. It also comes in a bottle and has that feeling. They also have many good flavors. The carbonation reminds me of alcohol. Physically I do not crave any alcohol. Its more of the mental reminder of daily drinking that I am still overcoming. Also using alcohol as a solution to everything. Does anyone have any others drinks they enjoy or suggest?
funny Doc, I have done this in the past often - not the chugging part. My grocery store has the 'generic' soda water with fruit flavoring added. It's cheap and tasty and is the same thing as the expensive brand of soda water. Not perrier or naturally sparkling mineral water, just plain ole soda water.
I was indescribably happy the day that I discovered that drinking a pint of very cold seltzer water really quickly gave me a similar tingle and burn in my belly like the first drink of the day did. It's still a psychological trigger to relieve stress and anxiety. When my brain registers that physical sensation, I have a stress relief reaction.

I'm turning into a bit of a 'San Pell' snob haha. Enjoy their fruit sodas as well as just the sparkling water. When I go out with my other half he has a glass of wine and I have a sparkling water and an espresso/Americano. Starting to feel normal to me now although not sure I'll ever really enjoy sitting in a bar again but sometimes needs must.
Perrier is so smooth. It is our favorite but so expensive! Then Mendota springs lime then lemon. We have La Croix which has several flavors too. Canada Dry has lemon-lime and a berry. It has been on sale. I see Dasani just came out with Sparklng water but it has not been on sale yet so have not tried.
polar springs is a new england thing. bottled seltzer. not to be confused with poland spring
Dasani? I don't buy coca-cola products. But for bottled water - this is absolutely true - wal mart water was tested and compared to all of the top brands. And from some other people (including myself) it tastes better than most. wally world scored on this one.
I have started to fill my travel bottle with brita filtered water from home. Can't see wasting a plastic bottle every time I want a drink of water.

My wife and I have become addicted to seltzer water. We buy it by the case. I drink all day. I drink before, during, and after dinner, and feel just fine. I drink first thing in the morning, then have a great day. It's the drink of my dreams!
