...does not exist. Everything I drink has drawbacks. Carbonated beverages are much in the news for contributing to obesity, rotting your teeth, causing cancer, exacerbating diabetes. Despite the negatives, I enjoy caffeine-free Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi. Diet A&W Root Beer is good. I like an occasional diet Sprite.
I haven't given up on coffee, though Decaf is my jam.
I also like hot chocolate/hot cocoa in the winter.

Not shown above is an assortment box of hot cocoa mixes. The one I'm enjoying now is from Entenmanns.
For cold chocolate, Atkins makes a Dark Chocolate Royale protein shake I'm fond of. Also a Root Beer Float I'm less fond of, but I have some.
My other hot beverage go-to (Much more than coffee or cocoa) is tea. Decaf, of course. I have a lot more tea than the others, and it's easier to brew.

The boxes of teabags are stored two deep. When I say easier to brew, I take into account that coffee needs a serving of cream or creamer (preference: Half&Half) as well as artificial sweetener. Tea just needs the sweetener. What sweetener?
