I thought that this would be a game but it isn't. The Broncos are getting their asses handed to them right now 36-0 . I was on a superbowl live chat room just a few minutes ago and people have already stopped watching the game . I wonder if Richard Sherman will scream and talk trash after this one lol.

I went to the doctor last week (haven't been in years beforehand because I didn't have insurance), and noticed that I have gained over 30 lbs in the last 6 months. Using a trusted calorie calculator my former nutritionist linked me to, there's no way that I consume a calorie surplus to gain weight, so I was at a loss as to why I was gaining weight.

She asked me what medications I've been taking. I'm an allergy sufferer so I've been taking Zyrtec during the warm season since Claritin wasn't being effective anymore.

She said that antihistamines that cause drowsiness like Benadryl and Zyrtec have been known to cause weight gain!

So she prescribed me Flonase (now I have insurance so I can get it!) to take with Claritin and told me she if it wasn't working that she can write me Allegra and that it doesn't cause weight gain.

Have you ever taken a medication, whether over the counter or prescription, that caused you to gain weight?

The title pretty much says it all.

But if you smoke, why do you smoke the brand you do? Is it flavour? Price? It's what my parents smoked. So when I started smoking they were easy to steal. Have you ever smoked but quit? For good or temporarily?

Comments about smoking drugs are not wanted.

No "None of the above!" option for obvious reasons.

How would you rank them? I excluded water since I assume a majority would pick water, since it's... well... water.

I vote beer, then tea, then coffee. With the bajillion combinations of flavors that can be put into craft beer, I could never get tired of it.
