Have the Old Jamaica etc., but drink the whisky straight, on the side. Spit (preferably your own) is the only mix for bourbon. Mixing it, ruins it. Lynchburg lemonade sucks ... but it does sparkle;)

And this water fad? I just don't get it:confused: Like W. C. Fields, I don't drink water. Fish [f-bomb] in it.:dancedog:

I stand corrected - you can tell I've been out of circulation for a while!

Think I'll stick to Old Jamaica but the market's certainly moved on...

Dave, I am on tablets for acid reflux, I usually rely on peppermint tea to sort my tummy out when I'm at home, but when I'm out I just buy a bottle of sparkling water, does the same job, before I was on the tablets (omeprazole) I used to take a lot of 'Andrews'

Re: sparkling water
 

I buy Old Jamaica for Ma as well...but she likes the Crabbies(non alcoholic) version and it is just like the stuff we used to get from the ginger beer plant....except that used to make me feel a bit squiffy...reckon that is why our lads liked it.

Ginger beer plant:eek: I'd almost forgotten ... ;)

Not the good stuff Eric :D

I've been on omeprazole for years Shaz, they doubled my dose while I was in hospital late last year, I'm also on peppermint tables too now

Re: sparkling water
 

maybe i need mine doubling John, i'm only on 20mg a day, i've always got a wishy washy feeling in my tummy, thats why i drink peppermint tea

Re: sparkling water
 

I take 20mg morning and night plus the peppermint tabs Shaz. I also take Movicol too which helps no end with keeping my guts right, never had an ounce of trouble since coming out of hospital and my stomach was one of the reasons for being admitted in the first place.

Aldi's water is lovely-as good as brands that are twice the price!

I guzzle gallons of fizzy water-I've heard it linked to osteoporosis,tooth decay and other evils but struggle to believe it's proven or worth even thinking about..
If we heeded all the things that are supposedly detrimental to our health we'd all be off our rockers before long (or anorexic). I don't think you should worry especially if you're drinking it to counteract feeling sickly and it's working for you :)

Re: sparkling water
 

I'm already off my rocker so drinking fizzy water won't change anything

Re: sparkling water
 

Can't argue wi that shaz.:D

Re: sparkling water
 

Ya but in a nice way Shaz:D

Re: sparkling water
 

I find soda water to be a very good hangover cure and a very good tummy settler if you aren't hung over but feel a bit dodgy, I don't know why because I don't know what it contains!

See post 3. It's the bicarb wot does it.
