What if you're not only lactose intolerant, but also allergic to milk? What then?  :|

Then you better move to one o' them Moxie-drinkin' states.  We don't take kindly to folks like that around these here parts.

Texas should be either strong, dark-brewed sweet iced tea or Dr. Pepper....

...or, in the hard stuff, Shiner Bock (bleeech :P ) or tequila....

...Texans are not known for their great taste in beers....  =|

I was kind of surprised that the Busch family had lobbied to get Budweiser named the official beverage of MO.  

I guess it makes sense that AZ doesn't have one.  We're an awful lot of desert.

And pour myself another glass of milk. Mmmmm.....

I think Wisconsin should switch from moo juice to Spotted Cow.

Heck, there's still cows involved, after a fashion...   =D

Texas doesn't have one.

So, I'm going to nominate one:

(Watch True Grit as to why.)

Muddy hoofprint.  =D

D'oh, Fistful Savalas beat me to the punch!

Beer should be the Texas state beverage - after all, the most famous last words in Texas, inscribed on many a Texas tombstone, are "Hey Bubba, hold my beer and watch this."

Oooo, Cider's good stuff, too. Nothing like some hot apple cider on a crisp fall night...

Huh, never tried that. I prefer mine dry and ice cold. Fortunatly it seems as if all the nasty, alco-pop like ciders seems to be pushed out by the real stuff over here. Heck, I got my brother over to drinking real cider instead of the icky-sweet girly stuff :cool:.

Never tried. Tried Strongbow's. Didn't like. Tried Hardcore. Meh. Tried a few other English brands that I don't remember much of, but I guess my opinion of it was favourable, since the bottle got emptied. I usually buy Kivik's Pear Cider, or occasionally their apple cider. Good stuff. I've wanted to try more brands though. I've heard much good about the French brands.

Strongbow, Blackthorn, Woodpecker et al are not proper cider, so I can see why you wouldn't have liked it.
My friend avoids them all if possible, though he will settle for Blackthorn if he needs to.

Well, we HAD to. Look at that list. Milk, milk, milk, tea, water, milk, milk, whiskey, milk, milk. If it weren't for the whiskey, you'd think it had been chosen by the temperance movement :laugh:.

Ours is tomato juice.  I have no idea why.  I would've guessed warm lard.

Surprising that Illinois doesn't have one.  I would have bet that would have been sold already.
