I try to avoid soda at all costs. I have drank way too much soda in my life and I'm trying to avoid an ulcer or kidney stone when I'm 21. I pretty much always get tea when I go out, I like Peach Tea the best, but I'm not exactly a conniseur (sp?).

Ok... well my only vice today is the occasional beer.

I quit smoking 3 years ago.I quit drinking soda 1 year ago.No coffee or tea.Quit ALL illegal substaces 2 years ago.I avoid excess sugar at all costs.

I'm certainly not a health nut, but when you devistate your body for long enough... you have to make up for it by going a litle extreme.

I used to put away 3 44-oz Dr. Pepper's a day. (Never liked coffee). I had open-heart surgery 2 years ago to replace a defective valve and began getting migraines, so I quit all caffiene cold turkey a year ago. Sick as a dog while withdrawing from the stuff, but I feel great now. No high-low energy levels during the day - I'm a water/lemonade/gatorade addict now...

I was hoping one of the choicesa would be "beautiful women" - That's MY only vice - besides speeding...

I love the ladies, what can I say? Other than that, I'm pretty much a whore for the carbonated beverages, I'm usually good for a 3 liter or two of Faygo Orange or Moon Mist a day, although, now that it is beginning to cool off, I've noticed my consumption is going down, oh well, more time for the ladies...:D

Me too, and me too!!!

I never got to the point of needing heart surgery, but with the abuse I was putting my body through... I'm sure it would have been imminent. It's amazing, thanks to a wonderful woman, that I am no longer with, I turned my life around..... thanks Hope.

I'm 32, and yeah, it was just a bad valve from the get-go. So now I got a titanium/CF valve - No ill effects, in fact I'm probably much stronger and have more stamina than I did in my 20's.

Only side effect is it sounds like a damn Hyundai's turn-signal when I'm gettin' the groove on... :boink

Nope - My tastes haven't changed since I was a kid... You can have your drugs, music, alcohol, sports, pets, etc, etc, etc. As for me, it's beautiful women and fast cars (in that order).:D

My vice is Turkish coffee. It is very similar to an espresso, except the coffee grinds are in the cup (small glass). After a few, you’re feeling really good.

I need my half a pot of coffee at home in the morning (about two BIG cups)... not too strong, freshly ground beans from farmer's market ($6-8 lb). If I drink caffeine after 6pm I can't fall to sleep (unless I have enough alcohol to cancel it out).

Coffee does keep the pipes flowing!!! (don't ask for details, plz)

Almost never drink soft drinks unless there's something else inside (gin & tonic, bourbon & coke, etc.). Always drink water with fast food (the free stuff).
