Sal in NY

I was offended by a remark about ordering water with dinner because people are cheap. I feel your thinking should be revised. Some people may be trying to save the cost of a drink, but most people are not. However, there may be other reasons. In my case, I am diabetic and the only drink available for me is diet Coke or Pepsi. This is OK for my situation with sugar, but I also limit my caffeine intake due to a severe heart condition. Another reason is I do not like carbonated soda drinks, and last, I must take my medication after my meal. I always order water with lemon wedges. I even do this at a Burger King where I can have a “value meal” with a drink for just pennies more. At home I drink sugar free, caffeine free iced tea or one of the other flavored sugar free, caffeine drinks available. It would be nice to have the choices that you do.
