How much soda do you drink?

Post Reply New Topic

Thanks to this board, I learned new facts about soda. Anyways, I drink it the most often in weekends because I go out to eat usually. On weekdays, not really.

2 cans per day.

A few times a month, usually when I'm eating at a restaurant or eating pizza.

I drink too much soda everyday. Diet and regular. 2-liters and cans.

Never drank it growing up except a small, which really was a small back then (today's kid size) if Grandma took us to a fast food place for a treat.

Never drank it as an adult, until I got ill and then depressed and somehow, having that forbidden childhood treat cheered me up.

Successfully gave it up for unsweetened tea, but now lately have been having it daily, for about the past week. The caffeine and sugar combo in cola helps me during allergy season. I hate what it does to my waistline though!

I didn't answer the poll because as you can see I had several possible answers.

As a child I didn't like carbonated beverages at all. Then I started drinking them because it what people offered me on some occasions. Then I got to college, and I started drinking it on occasion. When I was obsessed with collecting pop cans, I started drinking 6-8 cans a day just to keep the cans. Now I drink pop in moderation, once or twice a week.

I used to be a total soda fiend, drinking four 2-liters of Diet Coke a day at my worst. I cut back to two bottles a day and then one bottle a day, before finally giving it up entirely.... because I got sick of lugging all those heavy bottles up three flights of stairs after each trip to the grocery store. I haven't given up caffeine, though; coffee is now my drink of choice. But I thankfully don't drink any more than one pot a day.

I voted for a few times a week, because I've been trying to limit how much soda I drink. Instead I try to drink more juice, water, and tea.

Soda only 1 or 2 each week. I don't like the carbonation or acidity.

When I do drink soda, I first drop in a tablet of magnesium supplement. It gets rid of the carbonation, reduces the acidity - plus, it gives me a magnesium supplement.

Beware though - as soon as the tablet goes in, a volcano of fizz will likely erupt.
