Another vote for Irn Bru. I have a bottle on my desk right now.
For a long time (not sure if it's still the case), Coke was not the number one soft drink in Scotland - Irn Bru was.

For a long time, Irn Bru was the only drink that outsold Coca Cola in any country. Coca Cola's overtaken Irn Bru now, but pretty marginal.
Just isn't another drink that tastes like it. Fish Supper and Irn Bru, canny beat it.
Definitely not, although I'd swap your fish for a sausage of white pudding supper
Cures hangovers too
Either a really good Coke (Fountain or glass bottle) or a Red Bull. I wish they made something that tasted like red bull, but without all the caffeine and other stuff so I could have it more often.
for me would have to be coke hands down.
I have taken a liking to Redbull or Mother energy drinks however i have stopped drinking them. Purposely have no coke nor energy drinks in house.

Diet Pomegranate Hansen's... so good.
I also enjoy diet coke with lime, and good 'ol fashioned Coke.

++ Sugar Cane Coke, and i can have it any day of the week since we have lots and lots of sugar cane and barely any HFCS here
but i'm cutting back, so now i mostly drink water or lemonade (from what you guys call limes i think, no yellow lemons down here), and coke when i eat out which i'm also cutting back on.
I'm an original American Coca-Cola guy. I just can't get enough usually. I don't like UK Coca-Cola at all. The Mexican real sugar stuff wasn't too bad. But, dammit...I just seem to want HFCS.
But I have cut WAY down from what I used to drink. I think I used to go through about 4-5 20oz bottles a day. It was to the point where a security person at an arena I toured through even noticed my habit. Not good. Nowadays, I have one or two 12oz. cans a day, unless it's a long workday. The rest of the time, I drink either Gatorade or water (or, of course, beer!).
I don't drink coffee or energy drinks.

And the award for best beverage goes to...
I'm not quite sure if this is an acquired taste, but... DIET COKE.
There's nothing better than a chilling tall glass of Diet Cokeice sculpted up to the topwith a squeeze of fresh lime.

I've ruined most carbonated drinks for myself, as they all taste like vodka to me. This is a result of drinking lots of nice carbonated drinks with vodka, and now they all just have that vodka taste, not good
But as a UK guy, I have to say.. passion fruit Rubicon. That stuff is so damn good!

Well, the problem with sugared drinks is the amount of calories they have. The Diet kind have no calories. So the point is getting the taste without getting the calories.
If you could smoke cigarettes without the effects of cigarettes on your lungs, then I bet a lot of smokers would switch instantly now would they.
I used to be a huge coca-cola classic guy. And I mean huge. Now I'm a Diet Pepsi guy (I think it just tastes overall better than Diet Coke or Coke Zero) and I'm about half as huge as I was before (literally).

The only flaw in that argument is that, to me, Diet Coke and Coke Zero don't have the same Coke Classic taste, so I'd be drinking something that isn't healthy for me (doesn't matter if it's zero calories or not), and doesn't taste great.
If I'm going to drink something that's bad for me, it better taste good.
This isn't the same thing as smoking cigarettes without the negative effects of smoking on your health. People smoke because of how it makes them feel, not because it tastes amazing. If you could smoke cigarettes with half the nicotine, but they also caused far less of the "calming" effect that many smokers say they get from smoking, then that would be pointless to me.
Aside from Caffeine (I tend to favor caffeine free Diet Pepsi), what exactly is unhealthy about carbonated water with artificial sweeteners ? It's just nutritionally empty (the same can be said of plain water too). It's no worse than drinking Perrier with those "flavor crystals" thrown in.
Diet sodas do taste good. In fact, after 2 years of drinking Diet sodas, I can't stand the far too sugary taste of the non-diet sodas anymore.
What do diet sodas do "far less" than regular sodas ? If you want the caffeine kick, they have the same effect. I just like the taste of cola, and now with 0 calories, I don't get the fattening effect.
