My brother is dating a new girl and everytime we eat out she orders some type of iced tea and a club soda. I haven't got up the nerve to ask her why yet, so I thought I would ask all of you if you know of any reason she would have to have a club soda with every meal? Just curious...

Um, probably becuase she LIKES it? Why do you assume there would be any other reason?

I really like club soda and ice as a drink. I vastly prefer it over still Water. Its also great half half with white wine to reduce your calorie and alcohol intake.

I can handle carbonation fine though and my doctor doesnt believe it needs to be avoided.

Yeah I think she just likes it.ask her

I was just wondering if there was another reason, just being nosey I guess. lol I have never even tasted it and I guess I found it strange that she orders it with every meal as well as another beverage. Next time we are out I will ask her.

Maybe she drinks it because she has malaria.

I don't think ordering club soda is weird. I do think it's weird to order two different drinks every time you go out. Sometimes I switch drinks in the middle because I'm sorry for my first choice, but not very often and not every time. (And not since my surgery, obviously.)

Maybe she drinks it because she has malaria.

or it helps her in her teleportation?

Ah yes, now I remember why I stopped coming here for friends and support. Guess thats what I get for asking a question I was curious about and thought maybe someone knew something I didn't.

Hey, them's just jokes.....lighten up a little. Certainly nothing worth getting upset over.

Actually, the malaria reference wasn't completely off base.

"The drink gains its name from the medicinal effects of this bitter flavoring. The quinine was added to the drink as a prophylactic against malaria, since it was originally intended for consumption in tropical areas of South Asia and Africa where that disease is endemic. "
