I stay away from all soda. You may as well just pour a pack of sugar down your throat.
Overall I think that's a good practice. Little else will expand your waistline faster.
If you aren't a soda addict then having one once in awhile is fine, but I find that folks that don't drink sodas RARELY crave one and when they do indulge they drink half a can and feel lousy afterwards.
Now, are they delicious? Yes sir!!
Still, best practice is probably to avoid 99.9% of the time. I struggle with that because I do enjoy a good Coke. Some like beer, some like wine, some like fruit juice, some like Coke.
I can't stand the folks that say, "why not just drink water?" Wanna know why? Cause shut your filthy piehole that's why.
