I hate almost all the drinks everyone picked. I was with Gavin when he started with Coffee, and then it was all downhill from there.

Bianca Lemire

Nick is absolutely correct, those are all different drinks

Quentin Nichols

Andrew won on taste, Nick won on funny 😂

Taylor Child

So happy this is finally out - what a fucking absurd lineup 🤣 can't believe the turnout on the votes

Keith

If coffee counts as all variations of coffee, you gotta remove the split of coke / diet coke, and honestly both soda in general and various teas could be called into question.

Austin Thomas

Please try horchata, it's really good

Leon Browne

Gavin wins on pick one. Scoops up coffee, leaves the rest of em in shambles

Cory Mingo

Honestly feel like Nick should be DQ’d, lol

Ozzy Zamora

Can we please get a recap of who drafted what

PerniciousPumpkin

Andrew won my vote just with Barq's

Packrat Princess

these polls really do need a recap of the lists... ive already forgotten who i thought won...

Alan Dent

SoBe Nirvana is the greatest drink that has ever existed on planet Earth. I won't be taking questions

Anthony Dewitt

Andrew was the only one I felt didn’t go against the spirit of the draft, for once surprisingly, so he got my vote.

Lia DeKesthler

I like that Geoff was just like, this is what I want to drink and some of it is weird.

Ryan

literally none of the picks had alcohol, that was brought up multiple times during the draft…

ambrug

nah, i totally give props to Eric for that specific pick. I mentioned it originally then edited my comment down because it got way too lengthy. most of the rest of the pics just felt like personal faves though

Tuomas L

Well, Eric picked diet coke first even though he doesn’t like diet coke so you’re kind of completely wrong.

Brooke

I stand with Eric for the eggnog and Diet coke

Collin Brown

I liked Andrew’s list the most overall, but Geoff’s Route 44 Diet Cherry Limeade pick spoke to my soul so I had to go with him.

Brando Marlon

“You think Dr. Pepper is better than Pibb?” Get him, Geoff.

Justice Rainz

I'm a soda lover, so Andrew's all-soda lineup won me over

Eoin

They were all pretty poor ngl 😂

Spoon

I voted Gavin on principle. Although I agree with Eric that a PSL is functionally a different drink than coffee, while maybe not necessarily being fundamentally different. However, an Americano is too close to coffee (which I assume Gavin meant a pour over or french press)

ambrug

I wanted to vote no one b/c they're basically just choosing personal faves, not "draft" picks. like you're not trying to pick your best friend in a fantasy football league, you're picking an actual football player, right? and not a retired player? (I assume those can't win you points 🤷‍♂️) went with geoff b/c I suppose I personally prefer his, but no one choosing WATER in this draft is untenable to me tbh

Durzy

I didn't vote for it but surprised Geoff is so low

Maddy

I was definitely expecting Eric to be winning…

Cirynx

Great picks all around but number one goes to Andrew.

Adam Staron

It seems like the commenter's love Eric's list, but the voting doesn't reflect that.

Buggy52

For me it’s the Eggnog

John Hackett

If I can make the Arnold Palmer with unsweetened tea and the London Fog without espresso, then it's Nick by a landslide. If I have to take them as written, it's Eric

Robert Spray

Eric by an absolute long shot. Lost me with the Diet Coke; got me back with the Basic White girl PSL. Love me a PSL

NRay7882

Now we need a non coffee & tea soft drink draft

Michael Truex

Eric's list is just head and shoulders above any other list here, in my opinion. Honestly, the Horchata pick alone pretty much sealed it, but all his other picks are great as well.

Corey R

I'm such a sucker for PSL and we're right around the corner from this seasonal delight!

Sam

Nick just had the nice family of caffeine and sugar

Brett Walker

Geoff won me over on sweet tea alone

Seth Curtis

Geoff won over my southern heart with those last 2 picks

NerdTronJJ

Eric wins imo JUST because of Diet coke

Richard

Im really suprised nobody chose fruit juice of any kind! Also Lilt still exists in the UK it just got rebranded to Fanta Pinapple and Grapefruit

Frank Allen

If you assume a large percentage of the votes for Nick are just purely for Comedy, than I think Andrew is the runaway winner here, lol

Reese

Idk what the fuck Vimto is but Geoff for sure won me over with sweet tea and sonic cherry lime aid.

Tilgare

It would help to have a linked spreadsheet or screenshot on these posts to refresh my memory. Nick usually wins for me, but not only do I hate his picks this time anyways, he simply cannot be allowed to get away with this.

CloudyVro

Almost voted nick because my love for Arnold Palmer but the rest of his list sucks and only assume he's second place atm because trolling

Tayden

Had to vote for Geoff for originality

Caleb Klauzer

Andrew but special shout out to Nick for lemonade.

Adam Staron

Can't vote for Andrew. Gotta take at least one non-soda.

Brandon Hannem

100% agree, however I voted for Eric PSL, Horchata and Milk Punch.

Josh O.

As someone who doesn't drink soda or coffee, Geoff's list was the only one I think I could at least try to drink all of, so he gets my vote.

Trevor

Came to comment this too. Totally on his side.

Dallas (leavinsanity)

While I really want to try Nick's Fogspresso, Eric earned those big horchata points and took this one imo.

Bryan Adams

Gavins list sucks but I'm voting for him because he was right

Steven J Norris

Arnold Palmer is all I drink so I had to pick who I picked but I didn’t like doing it

Archery Contest

Eric won that draft by default, and Gavin should get the same here

Phoenix Edits

*shakes head*

Tony Figueroa

I’m an Eric guy

Derek Smith

“Coffee. Tea with coffee. Lemonade. Tea with lemonade.”

Chris Smith

So Mr. nuclear criticality has beef with a pumpkin spice latte

Regulation Brenton

I would have had A&W Root Beer or Timmy's Iced Cap.

SomeRyeBread

Going with Eric cause I'm a basic bitch pumpkin spice man myself. And Gav getting away with just "coffee" was asinine.

Cobra_ss

Was an interesting one, def think gavin got screwed with coffee not being discussed

Merjia

Eric deserves the W, for being the coffee guy unafraid to admit that he loves a cheeky PSL.

Courtney Powell

Would have given it to Eric if he didn’t go with the diet variants

Sam

Andrew almost lost it for me with the Mountain Dew pick but he still gets it.

Evan Murphy

Unironically it's absolutely Eric he picked 4 absolute bangers

Aven

Hmmm. I don't drink coffee and I don't drink pop. I'm left with . . . Bovril?

Roger Flynn

All ya'll Andrew voters are basic

Roger Flynn

Voting as if this is all I could drink for the rest of my life (besides water), I'm going with Nick.

ThatoneGuyoverThere33

Please in the future can there be a final list so we dont have to go back into the video to remember. Also did this pop up in peoples feeds, it didn't for me I stumbled upon this post

Erick Escobar

100% why I went with Nick too

Alex C

When you pick your membership option it tells you what you're getting? Did you miss the bullet points?

Dylan

Austin Breuer

Dr. Pepper on Andrew's list is what tipped the scales in his favor, for me.

HometownHiro

What I’d like to see them do a draft for is worst national anthem performances of all time cuz I know Geoff and Eric watched the home run derby and that performance was easily top 10 worst in the last 30 years

Joshua Smith

🇨🇦 Canada has the best pop! Which is why Andrew made the best picks - called the picks before he said them

Aidan Dressler

Also shocked that no Minute Maid fruit juice flavors made the draft. That shit is liquid crack.

Aidan Dressler

Gav because I agree with him about the coffee rule. Obviously a pumpkin spice latte is very different from a black drip coffee but it would have been a much more interesting draft if they went by Gavin's rules.

Beetus

Gav got robbed on this

Eduardo Lopez

Andrew's list is just sodas! Geoff's had the best variety!

Abbie

Andrew wins on Dr Pepper alone

kenper

I came to my decision of Nick because if the list was the only drinks I could drink for the rest of my life, I'd be set with essentially coffee, tea, and lemonade.

Seth Heder

Had to pick Andrew because I don’t drink coffee or alcohol

Perfidious Fate

Nick's draft choices were so bold and avant-garde, I have to support him.

Marqujr

I need Erik to drink a Diet Coke. 😅

EightySix SecondWin

They were all not great. I chose Andrew solely because of the root beer.

Rae

How was Andrew not the one Salad Creaming this one??😂

Mike

Gavin plain and simple because if the Americano and Pumpkin Spice Latte debacle. But Andrew's picks most align with my own, but honestly shocked there was no gatorade/powerade/kool-aid/flavored waters *at all*. It was essentially a coffee and soda draft with a few outside the box picks...

Shignett23

None of you

Boogurt

I somewhat begrudgingly chose Nick 😁. Had it been me, I wouldn't have let americano slide.

Alan Reynolds

Not a coffee drinker so Andrew's list lines up with my tastes the most, but props to Eric for the Egg Nog pick, Egg Nog's awesome. I love Dr. Pepper but I wish they still sold the cane sugar version in the US, it's so much better.

Stephen Galvin

i'm voting Gavin just because he got so hilariously screwed on the coffee pick

Kenneth Sundby

If anyone had water they would win for me, but runner up was straight up coffee, so... The rest was okay, but not near coffee... Like half the list has caffeine!

Brandon Telle

Nick for Comedy, Andrew for top-to-bottom quality. I have no idea what Geoff was doing.

fake_account_to_patreonize

As I sit here drinking an Arnold Palmer... Nick gets my vote.

Sepp

I'm with Gavin aside from Bovril because I have NO idea what that tastes like, but I'm voting Nick because I never even thought about asking for espresso with a London Fog but that sounds delicious.

Victoria Marie

Eric and Nick are close calls but I just really hate Arnold Palmers so I gotta go Eric.

Tereza Fraňková

This is hard, because I want Eric to win a drink he doesn't want, Nick's list was the funniest and Gavin was kind of right about the coffee 🤔

WarriorGuero

I gotta go with Gavin based solely on the fact he’s got Coffee, the one beverage I drink multiple times a day besides water and Mexican Coke.

PizzaCat

Andrew’s list is just soda, no variety. Can’t imagine anyone voting for Andrew is older than 15

CybrTwo

Eric's Horchata pick is the ultimate S tier, if it's made right, lots of places mess it up. The cinnamon and sweet condensed milk has a perfect balance. Pre made horchata is complete trash.
