The fact is, soda pop is deadly, nasty stuff. Drink beer instead!

If you want to get a beer belly.

Actually there are roughly the same number of calories in a regular coke as in a beer. Depends on how light the beer is.

Here is a trick if you like bubbly drinks but don’t like soda: combine a juice like apple or grape with seltzer water. Or if you want something lighter, mix lemon juice with stevia extract and seltzer. Very low calorie.

There is no such thing as a beer belly so big it justifies drinking Diet Coke.
