How many ounces of pop do you drink in a day?

[starbreather]

No soda at all here.

 

[the1kidd03]

0. Quit about 4 months ago

And you feel better/ a lot more awake and/or energetic ??


I drink ZERO. That stuff is HORRIBLE for you...

 

[CountryBoy19]

I very rarely drink pop, but I do have the occasional one so I voted <12 oz...

 

[RockofStrength]

I can't drink the stuff: the carbonation irritates me and it tastes terrible. So, aside from accidentally sipping the wrong Mcdonalds cup I'm 0.

 

[davedolli]

I usually drink 3 or 4 diet Pepsi a day.

What is the "pop" you speak of?

 

[Mosinguy]

I voted 0. However, I will drink a 44oz occasionally during my late-night outings.

What is the "pop" you speak of?

I grew up in Parke County, Indiana, with a small stay in Lasalle Parish, Louisiana. Explain to me why I call carbonated beverages sodas, please. I always have, dunno why.

What is bad about caffeine?

Caffeine

Caffeine | The Short and Long Term Effects of Caffeine on the Body

My favorite line from the bottom article: "Certainly, having your body in a state of hormonal emergency all day long isn't very healthy."

Fight or flight turned on 24/7, and requiring more and more adrenaline to get it kickstarted when you really need it because your body adapts to the high level thanks to the caffeine.

Mother was a dental hygienist.
As a child she beat the pop cravings right out of me.

Their mouths look like hell because they're too lazy to brush their damned teeth regularly.

Found out three years ago I was a diabetic and loved my pepsi so much, I had at least four to six cans a day. Rather than cut down on pepsi I went cold turkey and now I drink a lot of water and don't miss the pop one bit or what pop now cost.

 

[kawtech87]

I drink one 12oz can of Dr. Pepper or Coke with luch almost everyday. the rest of the day I drink coffee or water. After work its beer and Ive cut back on that too.

 

[femurphy77]

Used to be up around 64 ozs a day but that went way down several years ago, last year down to 32 and in the process of weaning off of the caffeine and moving to water.

 

[RugerRog]

Usually 3 Diet Cokes or Diet Dr Pepper or a combination there of. I occassionally have Iced Tea. Love McAllisters tea! good stuff there, and those are some big cups they serve it in. I drink too much stuff. I do have about a quart of water a day too.

I used to be addicted to the dew... Now just every now and then.

I have 2 fillings in every tooth.... All started with an Indy area hack dentist that thought it was ethical to inject people with water instead of Novocaine... I was rather young and was traumatized by it and have been since with dentists... He even told me I was pretty much making up the pain. A family member had the same experience with him and heard other stories down the road. He did a bunch of fillings and honestly believe my teeth were fine and that he wanted a pay day.

Because of that I would rather get fixed with no meds and a dull knife then go to the dentist sometimes.....


Also have issues some physical some not because of another doctor....


Sorry for the rant.... The topic brought up some bad memories... I know some good docs that are ethical and do good work...

 

[GBuck]

I just realized that since I started working at the hospital on Monday, I've only had one pop a day. Weird.

 

[A 7.62 Exodus]

No pop for me. Gave that junk up when i was 16. Now, Tea on the other hand.......

 

[HavokCycle]

many less than ounces of beer..
