The Drink's On Me
This juxtaposition of billboards on Castro Valley Boulevard caught Your Boulevardier's eye this morning.
One would not suggest that alcohol and soda are equally bad for young people (or for adults, for that matter). However, a good case can me made that neither one is very good for a person. Soda in quantity -- the billboard advertises 100 ounces for a family of four as a possible serving size -- provides a great deal of carbohydrates and little else. Those 25 ounces would deliver 75 grams of carbohydrates -- largely in the form of high fructose corn syrup, which some say is worse than good old glucose.
We have excellent tap water in Castro Valley. Perhaps that's the best choice of all.

I find it funny that you say good old tap water is good around here. I was made fun of at work for refilling a water bottle from the tap and drinking it.
Yup, water, my personal favorite.
