Health officials say the "ReThink Your Drink" campaign is aimed at reducing the amount of sugar-sweetened beverages that Alabamians have in their diets. They say a 20-ounce soda or sweetened tea can have 240 calories from sugar.

My Mother was born within sight of the Alabama state line tho technically in Florida. Her Father owned land in both states.
I believe Mother served sweet tea with at least 99% of her meals. It was good too.
Until each state has its own “Obesity Task Force” full of freeloading, busy-body, dumbasses who are too lazy to find a REAL job, Amerika will never be an official commie NANNY STATE.
This is it folks! When Yankee Liberals start coming down south to take our Sweet Teas, the war will be ON!
The Dems and Libs always think that the rest of the country are idiots. Little do they know that they ......
This is going to be a problem in our state. Texans have a glass of sweet tea in one hand and a six shooter in the other and I suggest that no nanny Yankee try to remove either.
172 members on the task force. Wow.
Wouldn’t it be great if liberals and do-gooders would just mind their own frigging business.
I don’t know, maybe we should start with dictating what folks with EBT cards and Obamacare can buy and eat. Only fresh veggies, meat, beans, rice, and stuff from the periphery of the store. Water and milk. That’s it. See how they like government then.
I always thought that the Nazis and the Soviets were bad. They can’t hold a candle to this Kommie Kollege Kid mob.
I once had a guy from England on my crew while I was Recreation director at a Summer retreat.
He brought his own hot water pot and tea (I remember his brand was Typhoo). He would offer everyone else but we rarely had any.
A number of years ago I had the privilege and great pleasure of visiting the South. I found that there are many things that are near and dear to the good and proud Southern folks. One of them is their sweet tea.
I double dog dare these lib fools to outlaw sweet tea..... all hell will break loose and it might be fun to watch the South kick their butts.
I enjoyed the good folks, their wonderful hospitality and I became very fond of their sweet tea. I also liked their boiled peanuts. I remember a spicy shrimp with peppers on rice dish that was to die for.
No kidding.... My 13 year old daughter tells me last week: Dad all the girls say we love God, sweet tea and the SEC.
Damned straight!!!!!
Ya damn right sweetie.
That what I thinking poor SI LOL! if he live in Alabama
Iced Tea suppose to be good for you
Anyone stupid enough to attempt to separate a Southerner from their sweet tea deserves the out-and-out butt whoopin’ they deserve.
My wife, my mother-in-law, father-in-law, and a good 90% of my in-laws drink sweet ea, and those who don’t have medical reasons not to.
And in a state whose motto is, "We Dare Defend Our Rights." More like, "We Dare Defend Communism."
The best thing about the South are the beautiful sweet girls.
I have always been a student of feminine pulchritude. I have been all over the country except the Northwest and the freak states, Hawaii and Alaska.
You will see pretty girls everywhere and nice people in every section but for pure looks the South has them all beat and it is not even close.
