    I've been a non drinker for 4 years now and I'm very disappointed about the range of soft drinks that are on offer in the pubs. I tend to drink pure orange and lemonade (white). Getting a bit bored of it now though. When I went to the North they had gorgeous soft drinks.

    So, which soft drink would you have? I need inspiration!

    Britvic 55 - Its lightly fizzed orange juice.. Or Lukozade in a pint glass with a tonne of ice.

    Coke or OJ. Gets very boring after a while.
    Had a sip of a non-alcoholic beer once. Not nice.

    Rasa! A Cork institution...(well, maybe not, but the name is!).

    Raspberry cordial with water. It's free in a lot of places too which is great cos then you can alternate between Coke/Pepsi and the Rasa.

    Used to drink Coke but it's hard to have more than a few in a night. Switched to 7Up (Sprite) and it's a little easier on the stomach. Been trying out water lately too.

    Had J2O recently in the Longstone pub in Dublin. So some pubs do have it. Hopefully it will spread, it's nice stuff.

    Usually just a pint of water. You never have to go to the bar when you're drinking water, people will just get it for you because they don't have to pay. I can't count the number of times people have said to me with a smile "jaysus that's the cheapest drink I've ever gotten somebody". It's much better than listening to friends complain about women taking advantage of rounds and making them buy €19 cocktails.

    initially it was coke, if the lads had 9 pints of bud, I would have 9 pints of coke, helped me do the small box big box dancing. also tried cidona in a pint glass as it looked like cider.

    then i moved on to less coke.
    Tried B55 but it was a bit womany

    Now I just drink sparkling water.

    I usually go for the Lucozade option. A nice pint of it with a load of ice :) Very tasty, and goes well with a match.
