I really fucking hate how sensitive my body’s become to caffeine as I’ve gotten older; even just one cup of coffee puts me at what feels like the prologue to a panic attack, but without the panic attack (thanks Prozac?).

So with that and being sober, I am a fish out of water whenever I visit Germany. “So uh, do you have anything that’s non-caffeinated, non-alcoholic, and um, preferably diet? just water? yeah fine, that’s what I thought.”

As a German: It's totally normal to order a glass of (soda) water when you're in a restaurant for example. I personally prefer the good old Apfelschorle when I'm driving, which is not 0g sugar though.

What about any sort of juice? Lemonade?

Too much sugar. Water is the true adult beverage.

Then what is he drinking outside of Germany if water is not what he actually wanted? That does not add up.

Okay, but the question remains about what he drinks elsewhere.

Since Doug hasn't replied, I assume they're a juice fan. Maybe some milk, or herbal tea, or ooo I should go make some hot chocolate now that I'm on this spiel lol also not diet could mean non-caffeine sodas like sprite? Since nobody would expect diet juice or diet tea lol

But you get all of that in Germany...?
