Coca-Cola Classic for me (preferably in the small glass bottles - or due to price but still high - the smallest cans = portion control).
I do not drink coffee or tea and cannot have artificial sweeteners. Since you are losing weight you might as well continue to have your Jack and regular Coke. I drink Coke and red wine (but not mixed together) and water - that is about it.

May be temperature-sensitive; while local weather is pretty mild the garage is subject to what by local standards are pretty steep swings.

Dunno about the kind with real sugar, but the fake sugar breaks down to something foul tasting even if well-sealed. Shelf life may be longer than they say on the package, but I accidentally stored a 12-pack of Cherry Coke Zero for several years in my garage, and when I opened one up they tasted awful.

Thanks for asking! I lost about 30 pounds and then kind of hit a plateau so ... sigh ... I completely gave up alcohol about a month ago, and I will continue to, until I hit my target weight (or at least within 10 pounds of it). Not surprisingly, I started losing weight again. 
Not as hard as giving up smoking (which, I failed at), but still I was surprised at how often I used alcohol to kill boredom.
Another 30 pounds and I'll be back to my alcoholic ways! (With lower calorie drinks).
