Title: Coca Cola
Post by: BayGBM on September 26, 2006, 05:28:00 AM
I just saw in a news report that the average American drinks 400 Cokes a year! :o

I began to wean myself off sodas in 1999.  I never buy it in the store and always look for alternatives (iced tea, lemonade, etc.) in public places like sporting events, bars, concerts.  Now, I have a soda (of any kinda) maybe once a month.  So, I have about 12 sodas a year.  Before 1999 I fell into the average.  :-[

How much soda do you drink in a month or year?

I'm not a big lover of fizzy drinks, I do like coca cola though... lets see, in a year I will probably drink about 4 or 5 cans of the stuff. I drink a lot of isotonic drinks and water and many, many cups of tea.

I have a friend that drinks a 2 litre bottle of coke a day most days

400 cokes or 400 sodas? Either way it's way too high. Esp. considering it's an average and a lot of people don't drink any coke. Take away soda's (and orange juice, etc...), replace it by water and you'll solve half of the obesity problem.

I myself don't drink it that much. Probably 100 a year. When i go out, or sometimes at special occasions, like on a trip or something. Some diet cokes now and then as well.

I switched to diet pop 2 years ago.

Now I am switching to splenda only pop.

However I drink too much pop anyway.
Probably  1 can a day.
Although I drink at least 5 cups of coffee. Yikes.

Why are you asking this question?? are you going to give us some informative facts about drinking diet soda or regular? if not youre going to end up with three pages of people saying relatively the same thing..." x number of soda a day" or " only one soda a day" blah blah..not trying to be mean here but what is this thread going to do? are you taking a poll?

Doom agrees.  Even once a month is too much.  No wonder Americans are so fat.  Fools!
