How much soda do you consume a week?

[twinrider1]

1 liter of Diet Mt Dew per day. That's probably the average. Some days no pop, some days a 2 liter. Working my way down. Used to be regular Mt. Dew. Now I'm just having pop with meals instead of always having a glass by my side.

When you let diet soda sit in high heat or past its expiration it tastes like "chemicals" there isn't any other way to describe it.

All matter is "chemicals."

 

[Mixolydian]

Some of you people are nuts.

 

[sixone]

None.

But I do drink way too much Brisk raspberry iced tea. Love that stuff, but it's not remotely healthy.

 

[Red Squirrel]

In average maybe like 10 or so per week. I tend to have 1-2 per day, some days I might not have any. Sometimes it's nice to sit down and drink a refreshment other than water, and pop is easily and cheaply obtainable in decent quantities.

At one point I had like 5 per day but I since slowed down. I tend to drink a bit more when I'm off though, maybe 2-3 in a day. I try to drink at least the equivalant in water, if more.

I used to do caffeine but I got older and stopped working 2 jobs while going to school. EDIT: I drink gallons of orange juice per week and rivers of water.

 

[olds]

Less than 12oz

 

[sdifox]

About (3) 2-liter bottles a day :-/

err whut? How could you be alive?

Work provides free soda, as much as you can drink...I don't drink any.

Find out how much your co-workers drink. average it out, do the math, as for a raise

Wow that would be dangerous, kind of glad my work place does not do that. :awe: I do bring my own caises of pepsi though. At one point a 12 pack barely lasted me a week now I can make it last 2 weeks, I've really cut down latetly.

I may have a cup of Sprite if my stomach is a little unsettled as the carbonation seems to help. I gave up pop in general about six years ago. I was drinking it like water and it just helped to add on the pounds. It's near impossible to work off 500+ empty calories a day unless you are highly active.

 

[Staples]

Zero. Can't even remember the last time I had soda.

I drink water just about 100% of the time and have since I was 20.

 

[Staples]

Did he back that up with references to scientific studies? When I did a google search on the subject, I found this article on his website: http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/5-diet-myths-making-you-gain-weight In the article, it states the following

I can only say this. I know many fat fucks who drink tons of diet soda.

Would they have been even fatter if it were filled with HFCS? Possibly.

 

[OCNewbie]

I haven't been a soda/pop/soft drink consumer for many years. I'd say 99% of my liquid intake is water. Once in a while (like this morning when I went out to breakfast) I'll have orange juice or some other type of juice.

I still like the taste of soft drinks, but I haven't had a desire to drink one in a long time. I stopped drinking them to save money and for health benefits.

 

[fallenangel99]

1-2 diet cans/week

 

[pmv]

I was going to say 'none', but then I remembered I do sometimes have diet coke as a mixer with spirits. Never really drunk non-diet sodas.

What I have made great effort to give up completely is fruit juice. That stuff is bad for you - high in (rapidly absorbed) sugar, high in calories, dissolves your tooth enamel.

Funny that there was a French study (wrongly reported as) saying "diet soda gives you diabetes" that was almost immediately followed by a much more rigorous US study finding that it doesn't.

I think the French study didn't correct for all the people drinking diet sodas _because_ they were overweight in the first place, whereas the US study did.

 

[Dedpuhl]

About 2 diet sodas/day

 

[Xstatic1]

I don't drink it weekly, but probably 5 cans a year.

 

[SheHateMe]

Since we have free pop at work. I drink about 3 cans of Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi a week.

Everything else is water or tea.

 

[davmat787]

One or two most per week of regular coke. Sometimes none and I will go weeks without it.

For the past several years I have been into seltzer. Safeway has a good selection of flavors, the Grapefruit and Mixed Berry being my favorites right now. No calories or artificial sweeteners.

 

[Kaido]

I have a Mexican sprite once in awhile (my local grocery store carries them in the classic glass bottles), but I get a headache from them because I'm mildly allergic to corn (citric acid) and sugarcane (sugar). Stevia soda tastes pretty gross to me and I haven't found anything else that doesn't have added citric acid in it, so pretty much I stick to water.

 

[Kaido]

Also, I have a SodaStream and would not buy it again. Not that it's a bad product, but the soda flavors aren't quite as good as the stuff on the shelf, and you don't actually carbonate flavored drinks, you only carbonate water and then add the syrup, so you might as well save $80 and just buy the bottled fizzy water and buy the little syrup containers if you like the flavor, instead of buying a SodaStream + syrup containers + CO2 cartridges. Or, you know, just buy the soda, because you're going to have to buy the syrup containers anyway. I'd be curious to see what the actual cost savings would be...

I went against the instructions and tried carbonating grape juice once. Let's just say my counters are still stained purple :awe:

I'm a big fan of seltzer too. I guess my current favorite is white chocolate. It kind of tastes like cream soda. My goto flavor is orange, but if I want to spend money on a flavored water, I like Perrier grapefruit.
