Sugary drinks
If there was ever something to stay away from, I would highly recommend sodas, and other sugar laden drinks. These drinks that make you gain weight will never serve you, ever. The only thing you are saying when downing these empty, high calorie beverages is that you just do not give a damn. There is so much growing right in your back yard probably that would provide a nice balance for your palate drink wise. There is the sassafrass bark which makes a delightful tea, hot or cold, once it is steeped. There is also the awesome dandelion which upon roasting makes a coffee substitute. Dandelion flowers make a lovely wine.
