Not diabetic here...acid reflux. That's why I can't take coffee in real life. Like I said, it's a minor thing compared to what a lot of people put up with, so I'm grateful for that.

I can get a good Scotch... but I can't talk with Jimmy any more. Besides, it's MY fantasy drink... so... yeah... nya, nya!
Like sbk1234 said, it is really more about the company than the drink.
Jimmy Doohan had some very real nightmarish tales he could tell, I understand, from the Normandy invasion when he went in with his fellow Canadians.......but here, I was speaking of "Scotty".
And yeah, I miss him too.
Go for the Green.
Diabetics?
Ha, you and me both--would be nice if we could be cured of our various ailments!
(Though in my case, I must say that although I complain a bit, I am a very fortunate person and really have little to complain about beyond missing out on certain foods.)
As for kanar--I dunno. For some way, I always imagined it tasting the way a Guinness smells. Except with the consistency of maple syrup. I may love the Cardassians, but I'm not sure I could take THAT!
"Hi, my name is Sector 7 and I'm a diabetic."
Not diabetic, although my father is, so it runs in the family. Me? I had a little heart attack a few years ago on LeVar Burton's birthday. My heart is now doing fine, but all the medications I'm on to keep it fine wouldn't agree with alcohol. Even the stuff that's supposed to be good for the heart!
Fortunately I was never really a drinker, so it's not that big a deal for me. I really miss red meat and fatty foods a whole lot more!
We were both combat veterans, so we shared many a tale. I had recently come home and he liked hearing more current tales of mine. I liked hearing how it was in his day. Jimmy was also a friend to me when I was in Hollywood and needed one badly.
I'd get soused on kanar with Dukat, Damar, Garak and Weyoun (no weapons allowed so as to avoid bloodshed). Of course Weyoun and I, being Vortas, would stay completely sober, the better to be enterained by the antics of the other three.
Throw Worf in there, too.
Throw Worf in there, too.
Wow, this thread is so surreal. I am also diabetic. But before I was diagnosed I once worked as Jimmy's bodyguard back in the '80's. After work we had to drive him to the airport and stopped in a restaurant on the way and had drinks. It never occurred to me to even notice what he drank but I'm pretty sure I was tossing back a few 7&7's. I think he was drinking bourbon and rocks. He told us about his ex-wives and showed us pictures of his dogs. Really nice guy. I, too, miss him.

I hadn't thought of that. You're right. Any ole booze would do.
I'd love to invite Janeway for "coffee". 
Hey, that rhymes ;-)
Yep, Saurian Brandy for me!
But with which character would you want to drink your Saurian Brandy?
Oh well, I think it has to be Kirk, McCoy and Scotty, I'm sure I could out drink all of them!
Prune juice with Worf and talk of battles won and lost.
