    I reckon it's down to what you class as a drink though ?

    Cream of Tomato soup in a cup I'd class that as a drink as a spoons not used, but if it's in a bowl - it's soup.

    What about the old peoples favourite drink of Ovaltine or similar?

    Then you've got all these low calorie choccy drinks with various guises and flavours as well with crappy adverts insulting most womens intelligence.

    Try some Hot Sake, to me it tastes a bit like caramelised bananas.

    Tea will get you in the end, you might as well give in to it, and drink, drink, drink.

    I'm on 10 cups a day! Mmmmmm... tea.

    I do plan on trying it but there actually isn't any Ribena at home! *shock horror*

    I will pick some up on the next shopping outing though.

    is that allowed? i thought there was a law or something that meant you *had* to have some kind of blackcurrent drink in the house.

    If you can find it, Rocks Organic (www.rocksorganic.com) is very nice. Their lemon isn't great, byt the blackcurrent is good. Not tried it hot though.

    Hot vimto gets my vote, evening drinks as before ,horlicks,malted choc is another nice one or what about those one cup sachets of different flavour choc drinks , mint ,coffee etc ,( a good way to try without having to spend loads and find you dont like the flavour!)
