    Looks like cherry coke zero.

    Coke zero is the best one until you get alcohol involved, then you’re fucking up if you’re not using full fat coke

    Though if the plan is to mix coke with that honey jack maybe the booze is sweet enough already

      I’m pretty sure that’s regular Coke zero, unless they’ve changed the packaging again

      But yeah, something about the artificial sweetener just doesn’t work with alcohol

      That stuff is so cloyingly sweet you’d have to mix it with water to approach something drinkable. A true alcoholic would have a handle of dewars white.

        A true alcoholic would have there favorite drink. But yea, any alcoholic whos preference is liquor is unlikely to be buying a lower strength flavored jawn. Wish I could remember the name of the one liquorice flavored jawn, the fucking exception. Its the regular 40to45 percent, but was flavored. Dirt cheap. Only wrecked ass elder alchos bought it. Ill remember later.

        Worked at the state stores for a couple years.

        Also cheap bourbon > cheap scotch. Fight me.

            Probably more because of how easy it is to drink than raw strength… It’s way easier to put away a bunch of 70 proof sweetened liqueur than the same amount of alcohol worth of 80+ proof hard liquor, very easy to not realize how much you’ve had until way too late

        I’ve used it instead of maple syrup on pancakes while camping. I intended it to just end up as a shit joke at my own expense, fucking around for shits and giggles, but it was legitimately sweet enough to work. Which is honestly pretty disgusting.

      Switching from beer to Coke Zero + rum/vodka for my drinks lost me a little weight. So much better for calorie counting.

      But if you can taste the coke, doesn’t that mean you don’t have enough alcohol in there?
