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 Like W. C. Fields, I don't drink water. Fish [f-bomb] in it.

And it doesn't have artificial sweetener in it.

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'

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.

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

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

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

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!
