1. I have nothing to boycott. Stopped buying any of those products several years ago.

But, I will encourage others to do so with no hesitation.

[Diamond_Dog]

3. Same here.

[lagomorph777]

20. Same here

[relayerbob]

27. Same there, also

[MoonRiver]

35. Same here.

2. Giving up FRESCA

no one should suffer by drinking it. Grapefruit soda, no, none for me, no thank you.

[ananda]

4. The only one I use now is Dasani Water.

I used to drink Simply but stopped a while ago.

I will now stop buying Dasani also.

11. Good to know

since I finally got the 6-pack I’ve been trying to get for the past several weeks via my grocery pickup service. For a good g&t it’s the only tonic water I will use. Cheers!

[Celerity]

16. We are big gin drinkers, and the best easily obtained tonic water I have found is Fentimans

[Mme. Defarge]

25. Never heard of it.

I do need to get out more.

[Celerity]

26. It is a 116 year old English brand, but you can easily find it in the US

6. Broad, general geographical based boycotts rarely work.

The reason the Montgomery Bus Boycott famously worked was because it was a localized entity that was front and center of the activity that was subject of the boycott. There was a logical nexus between that and the cause for the boycott.

Boycotts of entire states or large multinational corporations that have little to do with the reason for the boycott other than being centered in a state typically are far too broad a target to gain much traction.

Sorry.

7. Everyone should give up soda in any case. It's so bad for you.

After obesity and family history, drinking soda is the biggest risk factor for diabetes. I can't count how many patients I've had in eleven years of practice who come in with blood sugar through the roof, and hemoglobin A1C (the diagnostic test for diabetes) too high to be measured in the lab, and they're drinking soda like it's going out of style.

I tell them to stop with the soda, and three months later, their diabetes is coming under control quite nicely.

Also, never, ever buy bottled water of any kind. Fancy water, smart water, vitamin water, it's all just marketing to get you to buy what you can get better out of the faucet. It also generates billions of tons of plastic waste, which obviously we don't need more of.

[Mme. Defarge]

13. But, but,

what about gin & tonic?

[Aristus]

15. Perfectly fair question.

That's why I only drink a few days a week.

I've had patients who drink six or seven sodas a day, and can't understand why they feel fatigued, dizzy, short of breath, and generally run-down.

Marketing has a lot to do with it. Gatorade and Powerade, for example, are marketed as health drinks, and they're not; they're terrible for you. People drink a lot of the stuff just based on its perceived health benefits. No one pretends alcohol is good for you.

18. The Last Time I Drank Any Pop...

...was a root beer float, probably 2 years ago.
Neither of us are pop drinkers.
I've used lemon-lime soda as a way to add sweetness to cooking. But, one of those airline size bottles will make two dishes.
And, since they came out, I drink the zero beers. They're only around 400ppm alcohol by volume, or less than 1% of a normal beer.
I think they taste quite good now that they use a triple stage process to minimize alcohol content.
For those who like beer, but don't want the buzz, I highly recommend them. At least 3 brands. It's all I've tried.

[samnsara]

21. oh root beer floats are the best. I rarely have ice cream on hand so I just top a glass of rootbeer

..with heavy cream. Or top orange soda with heavy cream and viola a creamsicle. Or pepsi a la LaVern

[ProfessorGAC]

22. Cool Idea!

We've always got a little heavy cream because I like it for cooking. Adds so much body & richness to my sauce experiments.

34. Switch to boilermakers.

How do you think we made it through 4 years of Trump?

[CaptainTruth]

29. I keep seeing people say this, but in our house we have only...

...Coke Zero (no sugar), Sprite Zero (no sugar), Diet Mountain Dew (no sugar), & Diet A&W Root Beer (no sugar).

I didn't give up soda, I gave up sugar, in as many forms as possible. When I switched to low-carb low-sugar foods (& made sure I was getting enough protein every day) I finally lost the 45 lbs I had struggled to lose for years, & it didn't even feel like dieting. I ate as much as I wanted to & the pounds just came off over the course of a year.

[Aristus]

31. I discourage my patients from drinking beverages with chemical sweeteners, as these

can also be harmful, leading to changes in colonic flora, fat-storage capability, and so on.

Researchers have found few benefits of non-nutritive sweeteners other than reduction of tooth decay due to decrease in sugar consumption. The adverse effects of chemical sweeteners are not all fully understood, but the general medical consensus is to avoid them, or consume minimal amounts.

[Ferrets are Cool]

8. I can't boycott if I don't purchase.

[Mme. Defarge]

24. So don't start purchasing now!

[fescuerescue]

9. Give up Coke?

You are on your own man.

[Xavier Breath]

32. Agreed. n/t

[Vinca]

10. That's easy since I never buy them anyway.

[NightWatcher]

12. I drink a ton of Powerade, er I mean Gatorade from now on and I hate the Gators

I'm a Dawg (UGA) and I don't like to drink the enemy's beverage, but I will now.

[Delmette2.0]

14. I can drink any cola.

As long as it is with my Puerto Rico rum.

[alwaysinasnit]

17. Proposing tiny correction on Topchico - Topo Chico

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topo_Chico

[samnsara]

19. i have to drink my five cases of sugar free Barqs and use up the case of mixer..i mean Sprite.

[Autumn]

23. Not about to give up Schweppes. Next thing would be my New Amsterdam Gin.

And no way in hell am I giving up my gin and tonic.

[scarletwoman]

28. Well, that's too easy. I never use any of those products.

Is it really boycotting if you never bought anything made by that company in the first place?

[krispos42]

30. I normally buy whichever brand is on sale...

...I prefer Pepsi over Coke (well, diet Pepsi over diet Coke) but not enough to override price differences

Until now.

[bullwinkle428]

33. AHA is another Coke product - it's a sparkling water, non-sweetened, that I've been

purchasing at Aldi recently. I just took a look at the packaging to confirm that it was under their umbrella. Good stuff, but I can find comparable products from their competitors.
