What drinks do you drink?

April

My drink diet is so unhealthy.

I don't drink alcohol– I don’t like the taste –but regular drinks for me are coca cola like between 6-8 cans a day and that's causing my digestion to go through regular hell. I do drink milkshakes sometimes and squash but I'm not a huge fan of the taste, so back to the cola I go.

I've tried tea and coffee as well but I don't like either. I used to drink fruit shoots a lot but that was when I was little. Since I was in my teens I have drank mostly coca cola, occasionally I'll have a hot chocolate but not often.

My drinking has always been a bit like this. Flip side of the coin is I don't drink enough of anything and end up dehydrated, normally during summer though.

What about you guys?

What do you like drinking?

  • Up until a year ago all I ever drank was Pepsi Max, usually a 2L bottle a day, sometimes more. Would barely drink any water. But now I drink 1.5L of volvic strawberry flavour water a day, plus have a glass of Pepsi max a night (can’t cut it out all together!). 
    I definitely notice a difference in my sleep and overall mood now I’m drinking more water. And I’m more addicted to drinking the flavoured water than I am drinking Pepsi, even though Pepsi is highly addictive. 
    If like me, you probably like the fizziness of the drink more than the flavour. Maybe try and change over to fizzy flavour water and slowly come off the cola. Don’t try and go “cold turkey” as you’ll be very unwell (headaches etc).

    I think the fizziness is the biggest thing for me as well, it just feels nice. When I was a child I had this fizzy juice that I would drink all the time, can't remember what it was called though. I used to love Pepsi and drank that a lot as well but somehow I just ended up on the coca cola.

    I'm glad you were able to kick it in the end and replaced it with something healthier and something that you actually enjoy drinking.

    There’s much worse things you could be drinking so don’t give yourself to much of a hard time. You’ll get there one day! Slight smile
