Re: Off Topic 2014

I still remember the first time I attempted to drink water on a consistent basis and how difficult it was for my body to adjust, which is pretty bad. Now though I drink water like it's, you know, water.

I'm struggling with this now. I drink Propel at the gym but revert back to Coke when I get back home.

Re: Off Topic 2014

I don't drink black pop("soda" for you americans.....lol,racism against drinks)

Coke/Pepsi I really don't like at all. However, I do like other kinds that are clear and stuff(like 7up,sprite among others), I know they're both Coke/Pepsi drinks too,but I like how those taste much better than how the main Coke/Pepsi stuff tastes.

What is the big knock on soda anyway? I always thought it was the sugar/high fructose, but all juices but the obvious health ones contain similar amounts.

So I guess that makes it the acid. Personally, I can't drink more then one a sitting because it'll fill me up or I can just feel the enamel melting off my teeth. The only time I'll have multiple sodas is when I'm out to eat or a party occasion.

I try to cut myself back when I feel like I'm drinking it too often. Never felt a dependency to it, similar to coffee.

Re: Off Topic 2014

I really like throwback Pepsi since it has real sugar and no HFCS.

Re: Off Topic 2014

I quit cold turkey for about a year. Started up again (on Dublin DP) for long trips home from school. I probably average about two a month.

The money you save is a pretty good amount if you avoid them when you eat out too.

I really only drink pop when it's mixed with booze.

Similar to why I enjoy the original Coke, except instead of real sugar, there was, you know, cocaine.

The worst are people who say "oh, you won't even miss soda after a couple months of not having it, you get used to it"

Yes, yes I will.

Yes, yes I will.

When I quit Mt Dew a few years ago, the biggest problem was caffeine withdrawal. I lost some weight which was cool, but I was really dragging *** all day. Now I'm not an addict anymore but if I want a drink I have a drink.

Agreed.

Soda is one thing I will never give up. There's just absolutely no reason for me to, and I enjoy it way too much.

Re: Off Topic 2014

I don't even feel anything from the caffeine. I just love it.

Sodastream flavors just don't cut it, but I do like having carbonated water whenever I want.

When I was a kid, I used to drink 3 or 4 regular sodas a day. I switched to diet soda in 8th or 9th grade and I still don't prefer it over regular (and yes, I know it's as bad or worse for you than regular) but it works. Diet Dr. Pepper is very similar to regular, and Coke Zero has emerged as a favorite of mine even if regular Coke products are disgusting as hell.

Re: Off Topic 2014

I was sitting in the living room playing Outlast and I had the sound up pretty loud. I thought I heard something outside my front door, but when I muted my sound, I didn't hear anything. A minute later I heard the sound again, or at least what I thought I heard. I once again muted the game and nothing.

Played for about another 30 minutes and heard it again. I ran to the window, looked out the blinds and nothing. Decided to open the door and saw this on the wall outside beside the door.

I enhanced it a bit with a filter. But it was clear as what it was without the filter.

I was that way too. I lost about 15-20 lbs just by quitting soda. I was playing pickup basketball regularly and switched over to just drinking more water and juice. But the caffeine withdrawal took a while to get over.

I no longer consume any caffeine, outside of maybe 2 or 3 energy drinks per year. And beer is one of the few, if not the only drinks I consume that are carbonated. If I were to go back to regularly drinking soda, I was at maybe two bottles a day, it would make me sick for a while going back to the caffeine and carbonation.
