Hi
I was just wondering how would we go about starting a campaign to get pubs etc to have a wider range of sugar free drinks or has this already been tried?

How big is the range that the drinks companies offer themselves, or are we talking more than diet soda drinks?

We travel around quite a bit and so eat out in pubs etc i find all they have is diet cola and thats it everything else is the syrup mixes i just feel it would be nice to have a bigger choice.

I totally agree Lisa, I find you can't even get diet lemonade, and think how many drinks have lemonade added to them - shandy, Martini etc. Can't get Diet Fanta either. So if I want an alcoholic drink in a pub I have to stick to wine. Crazy isn't it?

I'd support the cause because variety is good, but since I don't like sodas any more and I'm a tee-total anyway, this doesn't bother me too much personally.

If you start a campaign, do let know.

I'd love to start a campaign to get more diet drinks in pubs and restaurants! I can't drink coke, as I have an intolerance to it, so all I drink when I'm out, is water, which is incredibly boring. My local pub did order in diet lemonade, but they say it was a mistake and won't be ordering any more in Sad

diet coke is all that is available near me .

I think diet lemonade should be sold in pubs and restaurants.

I dont mind diet coke but its got a lot of caffeine in it
