Don’t drink soda, regular or diet, on a regular basis. None of it is good for you and the diet stuff is probably worse.

Water - it’s all you need.

caffeine addiction might explain it?

Some soda is just fine -—————with Jack Daniels.

Wow! Learn something new every day!!!

What would I do without this place?

And milk, I needs my milk! Not the skim,1% or 2% swill either. Whole milk and sometimes Half & Half - when I feel like spending $4 for a half gallon.

agreed, except for club soda

I stopped drinking soda pop about ten years ago and my high blood sugar dropped immediately to normal. Ever since, I have switched solely to diet green tea instead of any other drink. It has aspartame and caffeine, and I feel great!

I only need a little water after a long night of drinking beer.

Yep-pop is free at work and I still drink only water. If it were coke products I might indulge once in awhile, but Pepsi isn’t even tempting.

Modern standards applying to foodstuffs are so good that we actually have the luxury of worrying about this.

The proverbial caveman couldn’t care less.

I drink 3 forms of water:

Coffee, iced tea, and water “neat”.

I quit diet soda a couple of years ago.

[Georgia Girl 2]

That’s what we do. Water or ice tea. Hardly ever drink soda.

[Kellis91789]

Fresh brewed iced tea for me.

I probably drink 2 sodas a year. Coffee in the first hour of the day and water for the rest - as a quencher/hydrator vs. a "cleanser".

Wasn't that a line from Idiocracy???

That’s right. I gave up soda in 2009. Stopped adding sugar to anything in mid 2009. I even drink home made lemonade with out sugar. Once the taste buds adapted, I didn’t miss it.

What I did miss was the bubbles in soda. So I put a small amount of juice in a glass and fill it up with club soda or seltzer water, and drink that instead.

However, when I get sick (nausea) I will drink a small amount of cola to settle the tummy. Can’t stand it straight-too sweet. So I just add some club soda to it too.
