So why is English name for person who doesn't drink alcohol so silly anyway? And what it as to do with tee and total?
It gets confusing everytime I forget what it is in English and end up directly translating Finnish term for it in English... "No, I'm not that kind of absolutist" :P

It's not really clear where the word teetotaler come from. One story attributes it to a fellow known as Dicky Turner in 1833, who spoke with a stutter and tried to say the word "total."
Also, hey, everyone. Glad I found this neck of the woods (Old Folks' Home I mean) I'm naturally a very modest speaker in real life so it appeals to me.
Grew up in an Irish family in Boston, going to college in New York City, and I still don't have much a taste for alcohol at the moment. It just doesn't appeal to me. I love me some strong black coffee, though.

I miss root beer :< You can hardly find it anywhere here in the good old Germanlands; Subway used to have some but they stopped a couple of years ago and I'm still sad about it...
On the other hand,some pretty nice local stuff exists here too at least;for example my favorite brand of cola called Fritz Kola! It's super caffeinated though, so I can't drink too much of it. Spezi is nice,too! Does america have that?

That is a bummer. In the city I live in there is a chain of restaurants that makes their own root beer in house. You can get a growler of the stuff and each locations will taste different as each has a different brew master.
Who watches the watchmen?
The major brands of cola here in the US are just Coca-Cola, Pepsi-Cola, and RC Cola, if you can call it a major brand. It's just about the only brand I can think of aside from the Big Two that isn't tied to a specific store.

Well besides Pepsi and Coca-Cola I can think of two other bigger brands of it here! Afri-Cola and Fritz-Kola. Never heard of RC before! Our store brand cola is...surprisingly decent,actually.

If you want to know the daddy recipe of root beer, it's most likely D&B.
