I can't drink caffine or alcohol, what can I do?!?!


Question:

I can't drink caffine or alcohol, what can I do?!?

4 years ago I was diagnosed with a birth defect that causes frequent kidney infections. I can no longer drink caffine or alcohol, smoke, or eat spicy foods. I quit everything but eating spicy foods, love that too much. My favorite thing was Green Tea and beer, both of which I can't have anymore. Is there any alt. drink I drink that doesn't contain caffine but tastes like Green Tea? Or some kind of fruit drink? I love apple juice but get tired of drinking it all the time...HELP ME PLEASE!!


Answers:

When I was on Weight Watchers I decided to stop drinking soda altogether so that I would drink more water. I had a tough time with it, but I got through it by drinking different flavors of Crystal Light and some of the flavored seltzer waters.

I love the Crystal Light Green Tea with Raspberry, but I don't know if it has caffeine (it probably does). Here is the website that lists its ingredients:

You might also want to browse the Weight Watchers website (you don't have to be a member to use a lot of the site) for recipes. They're good at coming up with creative, healthy alternatives that don't make you feel like you are losing any taste. I did a site search for "drinks" and came up with a couple interesting pages:
-Very Cool Drinks (although one has caffeine): http://www.weightwatchers.com/util/art/i...

-Frozen Pitcher Drinks (although one has tea in it): http://www.weightwatchers.com/util/art/i...

Happy drinking! :)
