How long could someone live.....

...if all they ingested were a couple Coca-Colas a day?

I would say a good couple of weeks, or just over a month.

 One widely circulated concept to help set priorities is called the "Rule of Three": Employed a mnemonic device, the Rule of Three states:

   1. Humans cannot survive more than three hours exposed to extremely low temperatures.
   2. Humans cannot survive more than three days without water.
   3. Humans cannot survive more than three weeks without food. (remember the case in Florida that was so controversial?)


Since Coke, though not straight water, your body can use the liquid and hydrate yourself.
So, I'll say about a month and one dollar.

I guess it's been about 4 weeks.

They'd die with really bad teeth.

Not me!  My neighbor's mom is on hospice at her house and doesn't want food but does ask for and receive Coca-cola to drink.

I guess I didn't realize yesterday when I made my post, is it diet coke or regular coke? Because if it's regular coke, she'll last far longer due to the calories in the sugar.
She won't be ready for the posing stage anytime soon, but she'll still be alive...

I guess it is adding up to about 1 Coke (not Diet) a day.  She will sometimes eat ice cream but throws it up shortly afterward.

There is a morphine pack in the freezer that they can shoot liquid morphine into her mouth if need be but she doesn't seem to be in any pain...they haven't used it yet.

She is terminally ill, not getting any micro nutrients from coke............ so less than that.

IV feedings if she can't keep anything down?

Weird tho.  I would have guessed ice cream would stay down easier than coke.

No.  She wants to die and I guess her body is shutting down.

I heard today she had a few bites of diff. ice cream (not as rich) that she did not throw up.
