Because I'm parched after railing your mom for 4 hours.

I drink scotch neat most nights so I can't knock on people that drink cokes.

But it is really fattening (from the sugar) on top of just being bad for you in general. And obesity is a terrible epidemic in our country.


FWIW, I drink water, black coffee, beer, and liquor neat. Not much else.

Coke Zero is the thing that I'm most sad about not being able to drink anymore.

I'd honestly take that over beer and I'm in no way "trashy" - I just freaking love it

I bet that woman had some brutal kidney stones

But seriously, there are hundreds of people who live until they're really old and chain smoked for 50 years.

They're exceptions, not rules.







No I'm not saying soft drinks are equivalent to tobacco at all.

I have a nurse friend that tried to say cokes aren't bad bc of the reaction of sugar with the acid in the drink?

Can a doctor confirm this?

Why can't you drink this? I thought you couldn't drink alcohol now.

Not a doctor, but can confirm she is completely full of shite and self-rationalizing.

Not to mention it makes teeth the color of dehydrated piss.

Will never understand the 300 pound lady or folks in the grocery store that buy 2 or 3 12 packs or a bunch of two liters. I'll drink maybe 2-3 a month, mostly because I'm mixing with alcohol or its late in the afternoon and I don't want coffee

Once you reach the age of 12 or 13, you should no longer drink sodas
