Soda

[walkerowner06]

What is your favorite soft drink to drink when you are out working? Coke is my favorite.

[mississippiturf]

I don't do the soft drink thingy in the heat of the summer here. It simply does not replace the electrolytes your body is burning up. Gator-Aid and water until things start to cool off a bit, then I'll drink a diet root beer or diet Coke.

[KrayzKajun]

water and powerade!!! no soft drinks for me

[mattfromNY]

Dont want to start the whole Pepsi/ Coke thing, but make mine Blue. Pepsi by day, Labatt's by night.

[cutbetterthanyou]

What is Labatt"s?

[TimsLawnCareVA]

Gatorade and water here. Soft drinks slow me down in the heat.

[Lawn Freak]

Dr. Pepper for me. I do also carry water. I don't really drink too much gatorade. I should though, I like it and its fairly cheap.

[J&R Landscaping]

Gatorade usually for me. Maybe a sprite or sierra mist for lunch time.

[mattfromNY]

What is Labatt"s?

Big people soda. Imported from Canada. :canadaflag:

[big_belly4ever]

Powerade all the way keeps my figure (Big_belly4ever LOL)

[Frontier-Lawn]

Power Aid, Gator, and AMP

[billslawn89]

ice water here! too hot for soda...stella artois on week-ends!:drinkup:

[punt66]

Yea soda no good. Gatorade, water, or ice tea.

[Chris G]

im all about gatorade or vitamin water or just water water

[stick9]

In the summertime, 1x 32oz gatorade, 3x 64oz ice waters, 1x 32oz Lemonade. Then, I'd refill the water containers at hoses (or in someones kitchens) as the day went on.

In the fall, usually some hot chocolate and 1 or 2x 64oz waters.

[lawnprosteveo]

Well, here in Oklahoma...we drink "pop". I like to ice one down all day and then crack it open on my way home. Something about that ice cold fizzy pepsi when I been eating dust all day!

[Jason Rose]

I gave up drinking "soda" (yes, it's "pop" here too). I only drink water, and lots of it in the heat while working. I'll drink Iced tea at lunch usually and then Bud Light at night. Now that it's getting cooler out I'm drinking coffee in the morning again. I won't drink it at all when it's hot out, yuck.

[KS_Grasscutter]

I drink a hell of a lot of pop. Mostly pepsi, but also coke, dr pepper, mountain dew, and root beer. Basically everything. When I am working though, I usually drink water (and lots of it at that...).

[siclmn]

Sugar water is bad. Soda is sugar water. Diet soda has fake sugar in it which is bad for you. Water is good. Gatorade is good.

[corey4671]

usually water and gatorade through the day...grab a Dr Pepper on the way home. For some reason, most qwik marts have Dr Peppers for .99 where Pepsi and Coke is like $1.49

[KS_Grasscutter]

Yep, that's how it is here too. Dr. Pepper, Barqs Root Beer, and some orange pop are 99c, and everything else is over $1.29

[redmax fan]

you may notice how fat / weak / diseased modern man is , well its because all the junk we're eating and drinking that we shouldnt be . including garbage like gatoraide (its like sugar and salt called electrolites in dyed water) and pop .

drink ice water , and if need a sugar kick have some fruit .
and you could also buy a good quality juicer (champion is my favorite) and juice fresh fruits like apple / pineapple / orange to keep iced in your jug .

[Whitey4]

PowerAid Zero. No calories, and none of the excessive sugar and carbs in Gatorade. That stuff is bad for YOU! I mix the PowerAid or is it PowerAde? with 50% water. Cheaper than Gatorade, better for you, and tastes better too. dilute it with water....

Soda, pop, whatever you want to call it is very unhealthy stuff for folks like us who make out livings sweating and busting butt. A bannana a day will also help avoid night leg cramps... I don't really like bannanas, but I eat em and potatoe skins for the potassium... keeps the leg cramps away.

[SNAPPER MAN]

For me I always have a 5 gallon igloo full of gatorade and a coolor full of water, but I usually put a couple Manzana Sol's in there too. Good ol'e mexican soda.

[dura to the max]

water and poweraid/gatoraide, cant work on a carbonated beverage...plus i learned what the caffeine does to you while i was in EMT school...(not good)

[02DURAMAX]

Gatorade and water for me...or sometimes juice.

[Scag413]

Mt.dew!!!!

[topsites]

Carbonated sugar water with food colorant.
$1.59 for 20 ounces of that.

Guys, I think we're in the wrong business.

...............
That having been said, I drink soda very sparingly, maybe a dozen two liters a year or so.
I'll take one when a customer offers, too.
Makes me appreciate it, I really like the flavor when I don't drink the stuff all the time.

Otherwise I survive on water, weak coffee, and milk (thou that's not cheap either lol).

[DA Quality Lawn & YS]

I drink the best rehydration drink on the market, AdvoCare's Rehydrate.
I won't touch a gatorade at this point.
PM me if you want and I can give you more information about it.

[dura to the max]

^^^you cant say something like that then not post the info...

[SHOWCASE LAWNS LLC]

don't forget dentists say the caffeine eats away teeth.

[karlgrooms]

Used to have a diet coke addiction. Glad to say i kicked the habit and switched to green tea. I use green tea sticks, just empty the pack into water bottle, instant refreshment.

[freshprince94]

I'm really bad about soda, but I only drink diet so at least no sugar. When I can, I get caffeine free.

[SHOWCASE LAWNS LLC]

yeah the chemicals in diet dont hurt anything ,they only turn into formaldehyde when digested or heated. nah nothoning at all to worry about.

[SHOWCASE LAWNS LLC]

sorry if i seem blunt buts it a subject damn close to my heartburn

[Dave_005]

I drink Only Water and sometimes some gaterade... Never sodas To Much Carbination and makes you feel bloated....

[deere615]

Mountian Dew! But usually water when I am working

[Lawn Enforcer]

I usually drink 2-3 gallons of water during the day, but I usually hit up a gas station on the way home and grab a Mountain Dew or a Pepsi. It's always good to have something different from water at the end of the day.

[f150 with bobcat]

I can not drink soda while i am working iced tea water or gatorade is all i drink when working.

[mngrassguy]

Ice water only. Caffeine + sugar = diabetes

[Travis E]

Dr. Pepper or Mountain Dew halfway through or for lunch to give a little kick. In the heat though, gatoraid and water.

[bakerc8]

DP or chery coke but ill drink it all but not MD it kills my sperm

[carcrz]

Fanta Orange is my preference.

[jkingrph]

No factory made drinks, wateer, lemonade or ice tea. Mostly water.

[PlatinumLandCon]

Big people soda. Imported from Canada. :canadaflag:

Only the best from up here:drinkup:

Espresso in the morning, about 4-6 liters (1-1.5gal) of water during the day (juice with lunch), Brisk/Nestea or apple/orange juice at the end of the day, Labbat's/Bud at night.

As its been said before, soda if offered by a client. I shy away from fast food/drink because of all the garbage in them. 17 years, 0 cavities and I'm sick once every few years. I think I must be doing something right.

17 yrs old+beer? ;););)

be careful...

[PlatinumLandCon]

be careful...

17 year old grossing $100k in the first year?

I'm a little more responsible than most.


p.s. I shouldn't have even said that because the first guy is gunna call b.s.:hammerhead:

[dura to the max]

i know how it is...i had to pick at you though. do be careful, ive picked up many drunks off the road and loaded them into an ambulance. and they were the ones that new better too, just be careful...

Yeah for sure, I know where you're coming from. Its not a whole case or anything like that, its one here and there after work or when dicking around in the garage on weekends.

[dura to the max]

the biggest thing to worry about is losing the DL. get caught driving with ONE beer in you and you could lose it depending on the cop that pulls you over. being under the drinking age means that your legal blood/alcohol level is a lot lower. it takes about 1 beer to put you over that limit.

[MileHigh]

Red Bull and Squirt all day long.

[tinman]

H20 . Gatorade I like but too expensive now that I have turned into a Dave Ramsey fan

[Chris.B]

I take a bottle of frozen water out in the morning, slowly melts and stays ice cold most of the day. If I forget to put the bottle in the freezer the night before it's a cold can of coke from the gas station :)

[TONTAGE]

Mountain dew !!

[justanotherlawnguy]

What is your favorite soft drink to drink when you are out working? Coke is my favorite.

I dont know how anyone can drink Soda while out working in the sun. For one its horrible for you, second it does nothing to hydrate you.

Water all the way all day. During the summer I can choke down nearly 2 gallons of water no problem....Daily

ya, same here! water and once in a while i might drink a gatorade, otherwise, ice water.

[Green Pastures]

Water for me.

Soft drinks are probably the worst thing to put in your body when you're working in the heat.

[s helping hand g]

Gator mixed with water, plan h20 and some times i pop a red bull !

[Big Lebowski]

Right on justanotherlawnguy

I am in NY and I drink close to 2 gallons of water a day. Never anything else. Funny thing is that I don't piss once!

[Ramairfreak98ss]

yeah, soda? What are you nuts? lol

Its hard for me to accept the occasional customer supplied soft drink can lol. Ill drink one like that but never any time else.

gatorade, powerade, iced tea, lemonades, water etc.

[DBL]

mostly water but mt dew if its soda

[dave k]

Plenty of H2O for me.

[STIHL GUY]

lemonade or gatorade for me

[bigclawnman]

In the summer....water, water, and more water. Maybe a MT Dew on the way home. In the winter I step up the Dew intake.

[verant]

straight up water....keeps ya hydrated and less likely to have to piss from it!!!

[justanotherlawnguy]

hahah well its like 100 degrees down there in the summer. Up in CT i can mow all day with no drinks in the 78 degree day.

this time of year though, I can mow 5-6 yards on a 20oz cup of ice water and not have to worry about changing my shirt after every job cause its dripping with sweat.

[M & MD Lawn]

Most of the time i drink powerade, but when i drink soda its PEPSI!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DLAWNS]

I have always drank water and gatorade, but I've recently dropped the gatorade for vitamin water. I can't get enough and it's a little healthier than gatorade.
