Cutting down my alcohol consumption seriously, what is best to ask for in terms of healthy soft drinks? Diet Coke is horrid, Pepsi Max is ok, what about Orange juice, or lemonade?

When I was younger, slimmer, and fitter, I would drink tomato juice with loads of Worcester sauce, if I wasn't drinking.

Cranberry, soda and lime.

Pint glass, one of those little bottles of cranberry (or half filled if from a carton), half soda, dash of lime cordial.

Lovely.

Coke of any type is just vile battery acid, best used for cleaning your drive.

Cranberry, Ginger Beer and lime juice (not cordial).
Some of the J20 types are nice, as is a St Clements.
Otherwise just lime and soda.

Not as much as ours, it's 40p a pint here! I did apologise to our local barman and he said not to worry, it's January and he's used to it. Plus the rest of the crowd are drinking and eating when we go usually....

I was serious, 70p for a couple of dashes of cordial + some fizzy water is a result.
