when I was younger I had a really bad Coke habit...

[Iron Woode]

I was drinking 6 - 8 cans a day for nearly 6 months straight.

I decided to stop drinking it completely. It wasn't too bad at first, but after 3 days I started getting massive headaches, cravings and irritability.

It was rough, but after a month I felt much better.

damn caffeine withdrawal.

So let this be a lesson to all you young"uns out there.

so now I should cut back on the alcohol, too.

cheers!!

:beer:

Its not just young'uns

We have a new guy here at work. He is overweight, 45 years old, and drinks on average about 6-7 diet pepsi's per 12 hour shift.

I did Coke once.

Apparently, lungs do NOT like acidic water and sugar.

There are a few people in my lab that come in two, three, even four times a day to buy pop and snacks

Cocaine's a helluva drug.

Coke is so awesome. I could probably drink a six-pack of it a day.

 

[Capt Caveman]

I'm averaging a 2-liter bottle of diet coke a day. Damn, it tastes so good with crushed ice.

 

[CTrain]

I use to drink soda exclusively also.
Since 6 months ago, I started driking mostly water and juice(sneak in a saod here and there).
Probably the best thing I've ever did.

Don't you dare Iron Woode!

 

[Cdubneeddeal]

Do people really drink that much pop throughout the day? A double latte or a cup of coffee in the morning, and maybe a pop during lunch is all I need. All that sugar?

You think those side effects are bad...


Try going from 4 Liters of diet coke a day to zero cold turkey..


I think coming off painkillers was easier than that, god aspartame sucks

So this guy at work who is downing 6-7 Diet Cokes a day.. He is already overweight.. 45 years old.. The only food we ever see him eat is frozen meals that you nuke in the microwave...

What kind of health risk does/could he have?

Are the meals Lean Cuisine?

Diet coke + Lean Cuisine = Diet plan that will fail.

What is with all these posts about diet coke and being overweight/ getting diabetes. Trust me diet coke causes neither (it has no sugar, lol).

I never said the Diet Soda caused his being overweight. Chances are he was always overweight and gained the Diet Soda addiction somewhere along the way

Stouffers I believe are crap. The Lean Cuisines are alright as they contain no preservatives.
