Moved close enough to Bellingham to get Boundary Bay Scotch Ale available in grocery stores, most excellent.

Somewhere in this thread, I believe I previously claimed Jamaican Red Stripe as my favorite. It's not so widely available around here, so I don't get it often. A few weeks/monthes ago I bought a six pack and found it to be just ho-hum. I've more recently been drinking Corona with lime added, or maybe Ice House (also with lime), or a Bells. However, I've made the executive decision to cut back quite a bit, as I keep hearing in health podcasts/videos that it's really not good for a person in the long run. I'm trying to eat/drink better, but habits and way are hard to change. I've been drinking more water, while at work, instead of pop/soda, but even that's harder to do at home. I've started buying a pop called Zevia which has no sugar and is sweetened with stevia which is a plant. Also, I've been getting the smaller bottles or cans, if I'm getting a mainstream pop, so I'm at least not getting as much.

Is it gonna be real whiskey or some of that blended crap I have seen Wa. people drink? It isn't any better here in Or. though. They wouldn't know the difference between whiskey and blended if it bit 'em in the ass.

That Liquid Death flavored sparkling water is pretty good. We did a sampling the other day on it at work, and I really like the lime one.
Scotch Ale sounds interesting....

I quit drinking about 1.5 years ago... The service teaches you to be a drinker... Biggest benefit, is no more hangovers.

Somebody taught you wrong. NCO Academy was a course in functional alcoholism. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate while you're drinking to avoid hangovers.

We have a lot of the new sodas at Costco, and I've sampled several. Zevia was good, there are some others I really liked. Can't remember the brand, but there's one that has a Coke/RC style, a Dr Pepper style and a root beer. The Dr Pepper was spot on, even moreso than Dr Pepper zero sugar to the regular flavor. Root beer was great, just a little bit of twang, and the cola was good too.

Stevia comes from monkfruit IIRC, and it's being used as a natural sweetener in many things now.

Zevia has two root beers, regular, and a Ginger Root Beer. I really like the Ginger. I've also tried Black Cherry, and I should have known better.... it's horrid. I like cherries, but in general, I don't like cherry flavored things.



Stevia is just from Stevia. It's a leafy plant. I don't know what the actual chemical is that is the sweet part, but the dried leaves can be purchased as a tea, and it basically makes "sugar water" that tastes kinda off. I tried growing it once, but it didn't work.
