How much SODA do you drink a day?

Since pop, soda, coke is in the news here. How much do you drink each day?

I drink diet sodas only but I drink about 4 a day. Got to stop. SWMBO is even worse. Its her tonic for all that ails.

None at all, usually. Road trips, if I make a fast food or grease 'n gas stop, I'll get a fountain Dr. Pepper. That's about it.

I drink coffee in the morning, cold water in the afternoon, sweet tea with supper, and bourbon or Scotch with my evening cigar.

I didn't vote because I there aren't any categories for like <1 per day or 2-3 per week. That's where I'm at myself. Mostly I drink alot of water, sometimes milk, tea, wine or pop... on a rare occasion I might have a beer.

I haven't had a soda in many years. I will drink water almost all the time. I do have coffee, juice and performance drinks (not caffeinated energy drinks) from time to time, but never soda.

Soda...bad.
Beer...good.

All I drink is water and pop. I am trying to cut back on pop.

**sainttoad** · 07-30-2008, 05:40 PM

coffee, water, beer, whiskey. in that order.

0 to 6, I am versatile.

**Jimbo** · 07-30-2008, 05:43 PM

I drink unsweetened tea most every day. Soda maybe one every couple of weeks.

**the beav** · 07-30-2008, 08:03 PM

I probably drink 2-3 per week, and used to drink less than that.

The high fructose corn syrup can promote Type 2 diabetes and anyway seems to make people fat.

I'm not a fan of artificial sweeteners either. My wife got sick on Splenda twice and that was enough for me.

Water is the best for you, so that's what we usually drink.

**Duckster** · 07-30-2008, 08:10 PM

I average less than one a day

**New2DEShaving_Montreal** · 07-30-2008, 08:28 PM

I am actually drinking a Pepsi right now and came upon this thread. I really must start cutting back. A bottle lasts me an average 2 days or so. Bad habit I know!

**otherstar** · 07-30-2008, 08:32 PM

It varies, but I do drink a barley pop or two just about every night (barley pop is beer if you didn't know

). I like to drink a lot of water, 2 cups of coffee daily, and warm tea in the winter. If I have it around, I like Scotch once in awhile too.

**boingk** · 07-30-2008, 08:37 PM

Generally zero. Like someone else mentioned road trips & fast food [usually on road trips!] see me drinking a Coke, but not a lot of other times. Might cough up the buck or two for one from the dorm vending machine when I'm hung over though ;D

If we were counting beers on the other hand now...

Diet Coke first thing in the morning (summer); coffee when it's not hot. Another diet Coke in the afternoon for the caffeine. It was 'Pop' in Micigan, 'Soda' in Wisconsin and now it's Coke.

I drink probably 2 or 3 glasses of Pepsi a day. I guess its not the best thing for me.

**packRat** · 07-30-2008, 10:27 PM

Less than one can per day.

**Robxcarlson** · 07-30-2008, 10:57 PM

Soda's pretty bad for you compared to other things you could be drinking...
We don't keep it in the house, but sometimes when dining out I'll order a fountain drink. That's the only time.

**Gaz** · 07-30-2008, 11:20 PM

Might not have any for a few days, then knock back a few cans with a pizza on the weekend. Overall, a case will last me a month, so roughly 1 per day. I tend to drink more pop in the warmer months.
