Pop - How often do you drink it?

[Aces]

I drink it occasionally, but now I'm cutting down on sugar and drinking more water/tea.

I really love the taste though.

Okay this is ridiculous. Seriously. I can understand if you don't like the taste, don't want the calories, or have some kind of legitimate reason to not drink soda, but to have an actual aversion to it is absolutely ridiculous. "DRINK THIS SODA OR I'LL KILL YOUR FAMILY" "NO!" "DO IT" "FINE BUT I HATE IT"

what if he just doesn't like soda? i don't see whats wrong with that. personally, i love soda, but i don't see anything wrong with someone disliking soda for whatever reason they have (unless they're trying to force others to not drink soda)

[Wynd_Fox]

There should be a more than one a day option. Because I only drink one a day, max, but there are people here who drink more.

[Joker Card]

Often. Usually daily though.

I dont mind the taste at all and I really like mountain dew and coke but there is better things to drink than soda.

[Nightmare-Duckie]

Constantly drink Canada Dry Ginger Ale.
I don't drink Coke or Pepsi much anymore because it feels too syrupy and like it sticks to my teeth.

being high in refined sugar does, which most sodas are.

high amounts of refined sugar definitely isn't good for you. the process of refining it in the first place takes out the goodness that natural sugars have.

I assume you mean HFCS. Definition from Wikipedia: "High-Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) comprises any of a group of corn syrups that has undergone enzymatic processing to convert some of its glucose into fructose"

Table sugar, sucrose, is "[a] molecule [that] is a disaccharide composed of the monosaccharides glucose and fructose with the molecular formula C12H22O11."

Essentially, after a first step of enzymatic processing, they're both glucose and fructose. The first step of enzymatic processing does not give you superpowers when you go through it. Really, there's no health difference.

the health effects of hfcs are still under pretty heavy debate (and i'm happy to sit on the safe side)

water > soda on all fronts

[PowerDag]

carbonated water is nice

[Axolotl]

I don't like carbonated beverages, they're too fizzy.
