Is there a real coffee maker on the island or do you use instant coffee? We have a few coffee snobs coming (me being one of them) and I can bring my own press if needed.

There are many factors that affect whether decay forms. What we do know is that when teeth come in frequent contact with soft drinks and other sugar-containing substances, the risk of decay formation is increased. The Association seeks to educate the public about ways to decrease disease risk.

If diet drinks really helped, America would be full of slim people. Artificial sweeteners ingested on a regular basis are not good for you and effect the nervous system. They can cause irritable feelings, make a person more prone to stress, and promote fatigue. The better option is to have a regular soft drink, perhaps once a week, look forward to it and enjoy it. The rest of the time, fill up on such drinks as natural fruit juices.

Avoid them like the plague! They're full of calories and have little or no nutritional contents. A can of coke, for instance, has 130 calories.

Carbonation creates the "tingly fizz", giving soft drinks a refreshing taste and 'sparkle' and 'bubble' effect whenever the beverage is poured.

Soft drinks contribute to the diet in two ways. Because they are predominantly water, they can help quench thirst and meet the body's fluid requirement -- about two quarts of liquid a day. In addition, soft drinks sweetened with sugar provide carbohydrates, which are readily available to the body for quick energy. Although soft drinks make these nutritional contributions to the diet, the Company markets them as a source of simple refreshment.

All common sugars, even those in fruits and starches, contribute to the development of tooth decay. It's worth noting that as soft drink consumption has increased over the past decade, tooth decay has decreased dramatically.Three factors help explain this. First, the widespread use of fluoride in drinking water, toothpastes and mouthwashes has greatly improved dental health, making teeth more resistant to acid attack from plaque bacteria.

We keep several kinds of soft drinks on hand as well as bottled water and some juices. If there is a particular brand or flavor of refreshment that you want to have on hand, just let us know.

Yes, you may bring sodas (plastic or cans only), water bottles (plastic only), and juice boxes to be served in your private party room, or if you wish, may purchase ice cold 2-liter sodas and bottled water from us. See party options for more details. Sorry, alcoholic beverages are not allowed.

Yes, in cans only please. And no hard liquor. If we think you are getting drunk, obnoxious, or clumsy enough to hurt yourself or others we will immediatley terminate the trip. In other words, enjoy yourself but don't drink enough to ruin a great day on the water.

Beer is made from extracting sugar from the starch in malted grain. This is boiled with sufficient water & hops to make a "wort." When this has cooled, brewing yeast is added to ferment the wort to create this finished product, which is suitable for bottling or kegging, and maturation. Some people mash their own grain, while others buy canned malt extract.

YES - we also have Wine, Water, Soda / Juice, and Non-Alcoholic Beer. We may also have "alternative" beverages such as Hard Cider.

To the best of the Association's knowledge, pouring rights contracts inevitably include the promotion of sugar containing products as well as other non-nutritious soft drink products. In addition to a singular brand endorsement, it has been widely reported that these arrangements oblige schools to allow pervasive marketing to children and include minimum sales incentives that can influence children's consumption patterns.

Every man is bound to love himself, and this both with respect to his body and to his soul, and both with a natural love and with a supernatural love, that we call charity. The natural love is written into the natural law, that makes a man long for the preservation of bodily life and happiness. As St. Thomas Aquinas points out (ST, IIa IIae, Q. 25, A. 4) this is the basis and root of all natural friendship, according to which we love our friends as ourselves.

No: all these beverages contains water, but also other elements that don't hydrate your body. Caffeine, for exemple, dehydrate the body, while sugar or sodium can be unealthy if taken in big quantities.

Our long-term growth will continue to be led by the core carbonated soft drink brands of 'Coca-Cola', 'diet Coke', 'Sprite' and 'Fanta', which today represent approximately 75% of volume and revenue. We continue to see growth in these brands and in 2003, revenue from our cola products in Australia and New Zealand grew by approximately 5%.
