It'll keep your urinary tract fit and well, too, jft: cranberry juice is a recognised great help to anyone who suffers from cystitis. 
Thinking again about benders: one of my boyfriends of long ago, well snockered, decided to carefully park his pick-up truck and then stay overnight before going back the next day. He said he'd only be a second, he just needed to park it a bit more carefully than he'd done when sober. The next morning, he went out to take charge of his vehicle, found my cat sleeping in the cab and the front bumper well decorated with shrubbery - but the pick-up was exquisitely parked!

Coke Zero is grim. Vanilla coke is ok but tastes like cream soda. Cherry coke I dont mind occasionally, the ones i like are the lemon one and the lime one.
Dont like pepsi at all, though when I was desperate at a show and it was all they had, i discovered my pony loves it.(or rather he picked it up from the trailer wheel and downed it - then went on to whizz round a jump off course.... B) from there on it was the first thing id buy for our picnics!!)

I haven't yet tried it and proably won't. I can't drink any coke except the proper, full sugared and caffeined Coca-Cola. I did try the coke with lime a while ago and it was disgusting, coke just isn't meant to be flavoured with anything else, except maybe alcohol.

Having switched to diet-coke 10 years ago, I notice the exact same thing when I drink the full fat version, though the accompanying vodka or JD allows me forget about it quite quickly.
Found this tonight in the current ed. of Pervert Eye:
This month sees the launch of Coca-Cola's new concoction, Coke Zero, with all the cross-media marketing splurge you'd expect from the brand who invented the reinvention game. On the back of the snafus that accompanied the launch of New Coke in 1985 (which everyone hated) and it spring water Dasani two years ago (which turned out to be gently carcinogenic tap water), you'd have thought Coke would want anything but controversy with its latest, multi-million pound launch.
Which is why Coke's packaging is somewhat surprising - it features what look like collapsing towers set against a black, apocalyptic background, and all of these next to the word Zero. Coke has often been accused of being tasteless... but rarely in this sense.
------------------
Just in case someone fails to geddit: remember 'Ground Zero' and the collapsing, blackened Twin Towers of the World Trade Center? I haven't seen the packaging, but it sounds like some marketing f*ckwit with the morals of a cockroach thought this little link up. Nice... <_<

That is the design on the cans for sale out here at least, Betsmate.
I can see what look like two 1960s council tower blocks at the bottom of the rather messy 'design' - I think it's stretching the imagination to say it's apocalyptic, though why would you add two tower blocks to your design for something called 'Zero' unless you intended a subliminal message to get across? Maybe the message is word association - tower block/block of ice/freezing/below zero...

I suspect that it is subliminally intended to represent a male ejaculation.
Which brings us back to Phil and Jamie.

Krizon!!!! I'm totally shocked and surprised by that last comment. 
Well, I would have been had I not actually met you and can almost hear you sniggering and see the twinkle in your eye as you typed that last sentence.

That would be a scheme worthy of Max Bialystock
