They still make mello Yello? I haven't seen that stuff in years.

Are you in Atlanta (or vicinity)? -> YES -> Do you have a high tolerance for spicy drinks? -> YES ->

I'm happy to see Cheerwine represented on the flowchart.

Yeah, my brother buys mello yellow down in Florida.

I'm supposed to drink something called "Slurm"?!

You're animated? Slurm is from Futurama's parody of Willie Wonka.

Perhaps this should be accompanied by a reverse-lookup version that just tells me what the hell I have to do before I'm allowed to have a Dr. Pepper.

Looks like I'm drinking Sprechers! Good thing there's a store that sells it out of a cooler down the street.

Oh, I thought they meant animated like, demonstrative and expressive, not like, drawn by Matt Groening. My naivete of popular culture bites me in the ass again!

Looks like I be drinking some good ol RC. Too bad I can't find it here.
and I don't drink soda unless mixed with booze

There is no regular Diet Coke, my favorite drink. What does that lone Diet Coke say in the middle of the chart without an arrow pointing to it? It's "with something" but I can't make it out.

My parents are evidently ostentatious because they drink Diet Rite. Ha, that cracks me up. I think they drink it because it doesn't have aspartame.

It says "with bacon", illustrated by a slice of bacon.

Needs Sidral Mundet and Reed's Ginger Brew.

Thanks, Wolfdog. The illustration escaped me. I guess I wasn't expecting bacon.

I guess "enjoy[ing] Tyler Perry movies" is the new code word for "urban."

Here's the one I usually use:

Have you already had enough caffeine today?

(Nope, not yet.)
Coffee or tea, iced or not?
(Yes.) Some of that, please.

(Yes.)
Is it time to start drinking?
(Nope, not yet) Water.
(Why, yes, I think it is) Beer.
