the other day, my friend daniel joked about having a coupon redeemable for 500 beverages. to which I replied, "I don't think I've had 500 beverages in my whole life!" but then I got to thinking...maybe I have indeed imbibed 500 unique beverages in my whole life. so I decided to make a list and find out for sure.
for the sake of redundancy, generic drinks like juices and teas are only counted once, but multiple flavors of fruit-flavored drinks (Capri Sun, Hi-C) are counted by individual flavors. liquors are only counted once. it isn't a complete list yet because I can't remember all the different Snapples and Kool-Aids and Jones sodas I've had in my life, and also all the sodas up for sampling at The Coke Museum in Atlanta. WARNING: LIST MAY CONTAIN AN EMBARASSING NUMBER OF WINE COOLERS. but without further ado, beneath the cut you will find the result of hours of googling, wikipedia-ing, and drinking.
