Watch out for those "diet" drinks. Almost all fake sugar products seem to get proved to kill people sooner or later. It's not nice for fool with Mother Nature.

The brands you listed all 'sound' made/spiked south of the border to me. If you take a nip now & then play it safe White 6 & buy north of the border brand names. The last thing we need among all this bizarre C-19 virus pandemic/politick'n are our fellow Americans going blind or dying from having a sip of hooch in an effort to try & wind down for the evening.

They are not brands I remember ever buying, just listed in the article. I do sometime sample imported brands. When I do, which in truth is not often, I never consider I might be drinking something that might poison me. Guarantee I will not be trying those brands. Shouldn't mess with a man's liquor, as he will be impaired enough even on the good stuff.

D-2 on this end. I drink distilled water & even use it in my decaf coffee(also reported bad berries!). For us D-2 diagnosed poor bass-turds good tasting foods/drinks turn into a minefield for us. Thanks for the warning White 6 I DO appreciate!

I do. It's 1/2 mile inside the gates of Hell. Like all capitals it's a shithole. I'm about 4-5 hours from it. I'm so far north I can see lake Nicaragua from my springs FUCK San Jose. Fly into LIR.

I do no dietary sugar substitutes. PJ only does stivia substitutes under the theory it is made from sugar. I grew up in the 60 when people used Saccharine. After that was found to be cancerous, there have been a continuing array of fake sweeteners and is seems to take 5 to 10 years before finding out they screw you up bad, in one way or another. I am no expert, I just don't like the history of track records of the various attempt to substitute. Sorry about the D-2. That said, you probably should take dietary recommendations from a Business Major with a grain of salt, unless your MD has you on a low salt diet. I do real sugar, the original white death.
