Soda is immature?

The other day I was in a drive thru (I know, what a shock) and I decided to order a Cherry Coke. I love this soda but I usually only drink diet sodas for less calories and I usually prefer the taste. The few exceptions to this are Cherry Coke, Dr. Pepper and Mr. Pibb. When I lived with my friend Pete a long time ago we both got hooked on Cherry Coke from McDonalds. It was an amazing combination of paper cups, crushed ice and Cherry Coke. Nirvana.

So, the other day when the urge struck I shot off a text to Pete who I JUST got back in touch with after not speaking with him for years. I explained that I had just ordered a Cherry Coke and he replied "...I'm a grown up so I really only drink water and Iced Tea now..." That made me laugh. This guy isn't much of a grown up, about as much as I am, and now it's immature to drink soda?

So fellow webbians, is it more mature to drink Iced Tea and Water? Perhaps I should order a Brandy Alexander or a Sloe Gin Fizz when I'm out drinking, aren't thos more refined drinks? Now, I agree that an adult sucking on a Sunny D or a Capri Sun looks foolish...but who cares?

Thoughts?
