i have always had the same feelings on carbonated beverages. even when i was little and wanted to be a part of the fun, those crackling bubbles and fizzies in my throat and nose just weren't my idea of a good time i would choose juices and lemonade and flavored ice teas every time.
but my indulgences have always been beverages that taste good with cream and sugar - tea or coffee. i know the sugar and cream is optional, but without them, i'd rather drink nothing. so when i "cheat" now and have a not-so-paleo beverage, it's a decaf, hazelnut coffee with lots of cream and sweetners....
