I carry around one of those little Mio things for when I get really tired of plain water.  Does the trick quite conveniently.

[Aqizzar]

Disturbing true fact:  If you drink nothing but water for a week, then nothing but pop for a day, it burns when you pee.

You can make your own Supersize Me-style non sequitur conclusions from that.

Good thing I never stop drinking soda then.  I certainly do drink plenty of water, at least.

Unfortunately my family was poor as hell growing up, so I did not get my wisdom teeth pulled until long after I should have. With the exception of having to be put under general anesthetic and removing a couple "small" pieces of my upper jaw, it wasn't terrible as long as the pain meds held out. One unfortunate exception was how one of the wisdom teeth grew into the side of one of my back molars. Like literally, the wisdom tooth grew into the other tooth, which left a freaking hole.... I've spent a small fortune trying to save that tooth, which is the one blemish on an otherwise perfect dental hygiene record and it's not like there was much I could've done about it. So it looks like it might just have to come out. Thankfully, it is a tooth in the very back of the upper jaw so I don't think anyone will be able to see it, but it still sucks.

Man, I can't wait to get my wisdom teeth out. Earlier today, I spit out a shard of one of them. I swear, at this rate, they'll disintegrate before I'm able to get them pulled.

I'm lacking a tooth in my lower jaw, was removed some time before I was 18 (In Denmark dental care is free if your under 18) because the milk-tooth(Mælketand? I'm not entirely sure this is what it is called in English.) had no replacement under it and so was rotting and wouldn't drop out by itself or something. They drilled through it so it split and pulled it out. Anyway, I've never missed it, I was offered to get a fake replacement in and neh, why would I pay to have a fake tooth every 10 years the fake would have to get changed, when I'm fine without? Can't see it either when I smile anyway so what's the big deal? ^^ Of course, paying to have a tooth removed sucks the same no matter what, but you shouldn't let some lack of toothiness get you down.

Water all the time gets monotonous, though...

Milk?

[Vector]

You're Northern European, though... I've largely lost my ability to process milk happily =/

[SalmonGod]

Not a fan of milk as anything more than a minor ingredient.  Tried eating cereal with milk this morning for the first time in... I don't know... over a year?  Not liking the consequences.

Apparently if you don't drink milk for an amount of time, you loose the ability to process it. Glad to say, it still agrees with me... The copious amounts of white tea might have something to do with that.

[Darvi]

I only drink milk with orange juice.

Delicious, I must say.

[Bauglir]

Note to self: never give up milk long enough for consequences to manifest. Dairy accounts for way too much of my protein consumption these days.

Either you must drink that so fast it doesn't have time to curdle, or else the ratios are different than what I'm imagining in such a way that that doesn't happen.

This is something that I would've horribly experienced after I got a good job in college. Thanks for saving me from myself/ dairy ignorance.

[Pnx]

I thought you were genetically of European decent. Shouldn't that mean you can process milk just as well as the rest of us Europeans and European derivatives?

[Vector]

I've got a lot of Southern European going on.  It's not all of Europe that plays well with milk, y'know...

And yeah, milk just doesn't work that well anymore.  I drank plenty of it for a very long time, but over the past while it's just become undrinkable (kind of like with eggs, I'll often just look at it and my body will say: 'no.'  This happens even with ice cream...).  I'll have a bit for a treat or in tea sometimes, but as an everyday thing I just can't.

You should try filmjölk with your cereals, if one can get it in America for any kind of decent price. IKEA, maybe? I hear they sell Swedish food abroad. Probably has too short shelf life though, even if it lasts a lot longer than ordinary milk.

Also I feel bad for all you non-milk drinkers out there... It's good with so much.

Totally get you on the eggs, though. I know that feeling very well. Strangely, it doesn't apply for... Oh, I don't know the cooking  term. Eggs poured directly from the egg and fried in a pan on north sides. Double-fried eggs? But everything else is uneatable. Body doesn't want to, and I get headaches and naucious if I keep trying.
