My office provides many drinks for free. I drink A LOT of Peach Diet Snapple Iced Tea. The "Nutrition Facts" on the label says Calories 0, Total Fat 0g, Sodium 10mg, Total Carb 1g, Sugars 0g and Protein 0g.

So, can you drink "too much" of this stuff?

Is it basically like drinking water?

Especially if you drink them with an animal style double-double with mayonnaise dipped french fries.

It would be one hell of a commute for you.

Got a couch?

My old firm had a couch in one of my buddy's office. I use to go in there and lay on the couch to review documents. After a while, he figured out that I was never there to talk to him - just to have a comfy place to review documents.

Alas, my current firm is couchless.

Nothing unusual.

BTW, I have worked here for 3.5 years.

You can drink too much of anything, even water.
I wouldn't drink a whole lot of it, it probably not good for you but if it tastes good and is free have some.

So how much would be too much?

You are suppose to have 8 glasses of water a day. Is 8 bottles of Snapple too much?

Supposed. And you're unlikely to have too much water if you are drinking in at a comfortable pace. Water is most often toxic in situations where the body is losing a lot of salt, anyway (marathons). Plus there is no evidence beyond folk-science idiocy that aspartame is bad for you in any amount you would actually consume. I say go crazy.

I would say I average four to eight bottles a day.

And, yes, I spend a lot of time in the can ;)

Aspartame

The borderline LD50 for aspartame is super high as it is, you're fine.
