Drink beer it's low in sugar.

My thoughts exactly.

I thought you would be more of a Campari and Soda lady though.

I see they've put the tax on Tonic water.

I guess it has to be a blanket thing but your average g&t drinker surely isn't the demographic they're trying to target?

Thanks a bunch, Jamie fecking Oliver, you fat tongued mockney c**t!

Hmm. I drink G&T. I'm a fat fekker. Maybe they're right?

Would be good to see how much sugar goes into an 'adult' coffee from sh*tebucks, with all the 'trimmings.

No point in taxing that tho' as they'd never pay it.

BURGER KING LARGE CHOCOLATE MILKSHAKE - 102.4g sugar, officially the highest sugar content drink in the UK, and the only drink to break the 100g sugar barrier

COSTA MASSIMO RED BERRY COOLER - 97.1g sugar
EAT LARGE MOCHA CHILLER - 90.5g sugar
STARBUCKS VENTI SOY VANILLA SPICE HOT CHOCOLATE - 80g sugar

I'm certain drinks like lilt and tango were reformulated to remove sugar a few years ago as their favour changed.

Britain's number 1 sugary fizzy drink revealed: Sugar tax: What is the UK's most sugary drink? - BBC News.

Sadly you'd need to drink two cans to reach your recommended daily maximum intake of sugar.

queue the Coca cola flavoured milk drink

Cue.

I'm surprised San Pellegrino isn't higher up. That always tastes like pure concentrated evil.

[barrydidit]

Goddamn.

I like that.

About the only fizzy drink i would bother with.

From the article

Action on Sugar reported last month that 98% of the 131 hot flavoured drinks found in the large High Street chains would carry a "red" warning for excessive levels of sugar. Starbucks' Hot Mulled Fruit - containing grape with chai, orange and cinnamon - contained 99g, or 25 teaspoons, of it.

Justifies my decision to boycott Starbucks and suchlike, not that I like the overpriced foamy muck those kinds of places call coffee anyway.

Give me a mug of proper instant coffee any day, with _one_ teaspoon of sugar instead of 25!
