      <content>I worked for a guy once who described going to a bar in Cheyenne, Wyoming to listen to the band. This was probably in the early 60s, C&amp;W music. They had a one drink minimum and he discovered that the drink that best stretched through the whole evening was tomato juice and ginger ale.</content>

      <content>Being 36 weeks pregnant, I think I've tried every non-alcoholic drink known to man.  My favorite is club soda mixed with Rose's lime juice on the rocks.  Almost like a vodka gimlet.</content>

      <content>IF you are lucky enough to find a bar that has it, order a Bitter Lemon (mixer) and Cranberry Juice. I am a formet bartender and had a customer who stopped drinking but couldn't stop hitting the bars. He would drink the above all night. I have tried it, pretty good. Warning, if the bartender is too young to know what Bitter Lemon is, DO NOT let him mix Realemon and Bitters as happened to me. I cannot describe how bad that mixture is..... </content>
