re: Imagine if people didn't drink soft drinks

So I assume you drink sip scotch at your desk all day long?

No I sip water or nothing. If people just drank soft drinks when they are going out or chilling like (most) people do with alcohol it really wouldn't be an issue. If I drank scotch all day that would be a problem, but I also think drinking cokes all day is a problem, although not as severe of one. But still very bad for you.

Most things are ok in moderation

Men do.

Yes. And?

How bout moderation? I actually gave up diet drinks and went back to regular soda (drink maybe 1-2 a week tops. Lot of times none).

I drink tea with PureVia when at home. Sometimes water for lunch, sometimes sweet tea.

And not for sure the hate for coffee here. There's all kinds of studies highlighting the benefits of coffee.

Everything in moderation people.

No idea why if you drink sodas you have to have 1 or multiple a day. Yikes.

And there it is. You should qualify your OP before you get on your high horse about what is healthy. Not everyone needs 10 cokes a day. Not everyone needs to drink alcohol all night. Some just like the taste of things.

For me, if I substitute coke for bourbon everytime, ounce for ounce, it is better for me.

So you are comparing drinking 10 cokes a day to 3 or 4 oz of scotch.

---

No, go back and re-read my post

But to claim people should stop drinking coke bc its unhealthy and they should drink alcohol instead is dumb.

---

That's not what I said. I was just using my alcohol consumption as something that I drink that is unhealthy for me, but since it is moderation and not constantly it isn't as bad for me as drinking coke all day. My point was having a few drinks a couple nights a week is not as bad for you as drinking soft drinks all day everyday.

I have a soft drink once a month. I drink several bourbon on the rocks many times a week. For me, coke is the healthly option.

---

Then you aren't the type of person I'm talking about, I'm talking about the person who basically drinks soft drinks like water all day.



Like I said, most things in moderation are ok, I just think people drinking mass amounts of soft drinks is a very common problem that gets overlooked.

This.....

This should have been in my OP

No I'm not, and honestly it's none of my business if you wanna drink a gallon of coke a day, but it's terrible for you and takes basically no effort to replace it with something else like water, or even tea, which isn't great for you but better than soda.
