Coke, an experiment

Im soda sober 4 years now. Quit cold turkey on New years eve 2015. Was drinking 40oz super big Gulp and pissing out 45oz every time. I was drying up! All I drink nowadays is water and an occasional powerade (not that different than soda) or an Arizona herbal tonic (Tea, orange juice and a bunch of extracts of weird Asian plants). speaking of Chow halls: tiny one in the jungle of Naval Magazine, Subic Bay, PI. Insert Filipino accent here "How would you like your rice, boiled or steamed...would you like a side of rice with that?" Aw c'mon Joe, whats for lunch then? "...rice". NAS Cubi Point was better. And the "Company" parties out in town, Nude floor shows with bottles, stacks of coins....'hands free' blow guns popping balloons from 5 feet away! Raffle prize was a bar girl for the night.. That ain't happening in today's Navy for sure.
