My UFO beverage is soda.  I'm not sensitive to HFCS or carbonation, so I can down a ginger ale or a cream soda with no repercussions. Lately I've also been sneaking in Cokes, which is really bad - I know the caffeine will catch up with me, I AM sensitive to that.
Still bad but not quite as bad, I mix pineapple or pineapple-orange juice half-and-half with seltzer. That would still give you calories, but not be quite as "iffy" on the insides.
Something I found that's really pretty tasty is to take a good, tasty, full-bodied tea with a lot of flavor - like chai, or some of that Teeccino - mix soy milk or creamer & sweetener in it when it's hot, and let it cool. Then serve it over ice. I could drink that ALL DAY, but unfortunately, that would add insane calories to my food budget if I did, heh.
Another thought would be sugar-sweetened herbal iced teas.
How about sneaking in a smoothie here and there with meals? I always thought I'd love to have a smoothie with breakfast, but again, too many calories for me, because there's no way that would fill me up enough on its own - I'd still have to eat my oatmeal or something.
