Why is is it when you go out on a sat ( or any day) and being diabetic you seem to get a choice of water or diet coke. No one seems to have any thing different, no real choice. What does everyone on here do for a drink when they go out.

If drinking alcohol, I take either red wine, gin and slim or brandy (with or without soda).
Non alcoholic drinks, now that's not as bad as when I was diagnosed in the 70's. I have tea, coffee, diet coke, sugar free Irn Bru (yes, I'm Scottish!), diet Sprite, soda water with a slice of lemon or slimline tonic.
If visiting friends I know won't have sugar free drinks, I bring my own. Diet ginger beer goes down well.
