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?

Parents

  • Carbonated water, coffee (mostly decaf) and tea, no sugar, alcohol-free beer (mostly India pale ale). I used to drink wine quite regularly and whiskey occasionally, but following a minor stroke in June, I have become more or less tea-total. I have not had sweet fizzy drinks for many years, coke not for decades. A friend used to drink litres of diet coke a day and developed a persistent cough (hospitalised a few times and bronchoscopies etc.) , it turned out she had developed a reaction to aspartame. My sister-in-law developed osteoporosis in her 40s because of drinking lots of coke, the phosphoric acid in it robs calcium from bones and teeth. Coke is just nasty stuff. Stick an old copper coin in it for half an hour and the acid will make it shine like new. Not a good thing to drink.

    Excellent, and usefully relevant 'statements of fact' and 'public information' in there Martin.

    Thank you for sharing.
