If I don't have an acceptable alternative available, I will drink beer/whiskey far more than I should, just for the taste of it. And the trouble is that my brain has already said water is not an acceptable alternative (I hate the [lack of] flavor), "coke" is not an acceptable alternative (just as bad, or worse, in the calorie dept), and "diet" is not an acceptable alternative (hate the taste, and the chemicals are just as bad or worse than HFCS in other ways rather than calories).
Unsweet Ice Tea. That's it. I get my caffeine hit, I get no calories, I get something with a flavor I like so it's not "water". If that's not available, then I'm highly likely to drink too much. very depressing...though never at the time ('cause I'm drinking beer or scotch that tastes too good to notice).
