    Just did some googling:
    So Grieg's right to stick with tea. Me, brewed coffee, 3 or 4 cafetiere's-full of brewed coffee a day while I'm working on the PC at home, black, no sugar - staff of life :lol:

    though i dont drink it, for all i know wine is indeed not THAT expensive here
    as to Roels claim on coke... when visiting he seems to have some sense of moderation, but when i was on holiday with him and another friend we managed to drink over 2,5 bottles a day average, with me drinking nothing.
    so saying that his milk is compensation for his coke... id reckon hed have to drink a cow dry everyday before the scale would tip over to the healthy side.

    Probably drink between 4 and 8 pints of coffee a day.

    Caffine has no affect on me, as do most stimulents but that's another story

    Absolutely.
    You can find some relatively tasty wines here that cost less per liter than, let's say coke or other sodas....

    I was not talking about good wines, but about "relatively tasty" table wines. ;)

    A good bottle(all relative again) here starts around 6-7 Euros in a supermarket.

    Btw, what's the value of Singapour dollars compared to Euro or USD?

    I know a few years back, there came out a soda called Surge in Canada and the US. That stuff put coffee to shame, so much that they don't even make it anymore!

    I prefer apple juice and Mountain Dew anyways.

    I don't see how you coffee drinkers do it. I've had good coffee and it even tasted horrible. I think I would rather be really tired that fill myself with that stuff! :lol:

    Yes! Use coke, it's better. :D

    I keep hearing the name "Mountain Dew" in movies and everything but it appears to be a brand name. What is it?

    Maybe this is a really daft question and there's really a bunch of guys out on mountain pastures collecting dew off of leaves in early morning... ;)

    Mountain Dew is a citrus flavored soda soft drink. It is a light green in color. They have quite a bit of carbonation and some folks believe they give a little bit more energy buzz than other sodas.

    It's a brand name that is part of the Pepsi Company.

    Why, the best soft drink in North America, of course! The one thing keeping me from moving back to Germany is the fact that they do not sell Mountain Dew over there. It's crazy!

    I drink tea, usually Fair Trade tea although I am partial to a cup of Earl Grey now & then.

    Milk, no sugar.

    Coffee = yuck.

    Well, did the Brits ever colonize the Netherlands? I think not. In fact, a Dutchman once became King of England. So there. :evil: ;)

    David, your joke is wearing thin, but not nearly as thin as the thread you're balancing on that keeps you from being banned... ;)
