Hmm my kids normally drink water - if we got to a restuarant they may have lemonade or fresh fruit juice.

However as others have said people will do what they want to so maybe it would be nice if these healthy do gooders would just take their pontificating tulip elsewhere..

on another note those of you who think lots of exercise is the key you probably better not read this Link

Wine IS rather low-calorie providing you don't drink it by the bottle. A small glass is about the same as a biscuit.

I do give a rats ass about many things just not so called experts with a fookin degree in Food Studies from Bangor poly telling me that sugary drinks may have sugar in them and to much of that could be bad for your health.

I mean jeez do you really need a degree to understand that?

It's common fookin knowledge

Also does that mean a bottle of wine is like a pack of biscuits?
