I never cared for soda even as a kid. The only soda I really liked was root beer from the soda fountain with lots of syrup in it or when my dad made root beer floats with the vanilla ice cream. I drink water, green tea and the occasional glass of wine.

I drink at least 12 cokes a day. Force myself to drink 16 oz of water a day. I am a cokeaholic and I admit it.

If it's regular Coke, that's 1800 a day. That's more than the recommended daily calorie intake .

I drink diet pepsi wild cherry daily too. I can't give it up, LOL. It's my one food vice. I love it. I drink several a day and I do know they aren't good for me. I'm not a big "water" fan.

I don't drink Coke. I think it would dissolve my insides. I drink a lot of water-so much healthier.

Wow, and I was amazed that my BFF drinks 6 cans of Pepsi a day.

I don't have blood in my veins .... it's coke syrup. {#emotions_dlg.w00t}

Wink LOL

I think of it this way…I eat mainly fruits and veggies and lean proteins. I eat nothing fried and nothing from boxes and nothing with creams/heavy butters. Drinking a couple of diet pepsi's is far better than eating processed/fried foods daily. So, Pred…don't beat yourself up. Try to cut back to a few if possible.Wink

I hate Coke. I am a Pepsi and Sweet Tea drinker. I LOVE LOVE the Sweet Tea from McDonald's lol..

I thought drinking 2-3 Pepsi's sometimes a day was bad..but 12!! lol

I have no weight issues and all of my numbers are good so I can indulge in this treat...no bloat either!

I would use care in drinking 3 to 4 GALLONS of water a day. Too much water can cause great problems with your body. Electrolytes etc..there is such a thing as too much of a good thing...

I haven't had a soda in 3 years. I primarily drink water, juices, tea and a cup of coffee in the morning.

I used to drink a liter of Coke (approx. 33 oz.) a day. Now I'm down to a 7.5 oz. can. It's my only vice in life.
