Good god, 2-5 glasses of scotch a day? Who are you, Jack Donaghy? lol

Seriously though:

I hate to be that wiseacre, but I'm going to say it: water.

Your body wants you to drink for one of two reasons: 1. You're dehydrated. 2. It's been condition to receives something (sugar, alcohol, water, etc) from drinking so its second nature.

In my experience trying to substitute artificial sweeteners for sugar works about as well as (forgive the euphemism) lemonade for scotch. You'll be dissatisfied, and still have the craving thirst.

Drink water. Nothing but water. When you're thirsty, drink more water.

Yes, you'll piss like a race horse, but over time (1-3 months) you're body will be reconditioned. Then you'll only be thirsty when you're actually dehydrated and nothing else.

I like diet rootbeer and heavy cream. It's got some carbs from the cream but tastes like a rootbeer float.

I drink powerade zero because they taste good, have some of the flavors I miss on this diet, and have potassium. 0 carbs.

Coconut milk! Get your MCTs. (Medium Chain Trigycerides...good stuff for keto dieters)It's cheap and comes in half-gallons like milk, usually found with the regular milk.

3 parts unsweetened Almond Milk, 1 part Heavy Cream, 1/2 part Sugar Free vanilla syrup (like used in coffee). Put in the freezer for 20min, and it's a great vanilla shake.

You could also add 2 raw egg whites and blend for a higher protein + thicker texture.

Heavy cream with unsweetened cocoa, stevia, cinnamon (and maybe some natural peanut butter if you're feeling adventurous) for some delicious hot chocolate!

Water.

Almond milk is okay, but be careful--usually regular almond milk has about 7g of carbs for an 8oz service. You can get unsweetened, which has 1g of carbs per serving I believe.

Some warmed bacon grease is great, and it helps get that good night sleep!

Polar Seltzer water!! It comes in a million flavors like Pomegranate and Pina Colada and Raspberry Lime, etc. No carbs, no anything as per the label. Some places sell chilled liters. I'm completely addicted. AND, it counts as WATER!! It's just wawa with bubbles.

I've been a fan of Diet Rite Pure Zero and it's various incarnations. Advertised as 0 calories, 0 carbs, 0 caffeine, and 0 sodium.
