Gavin Lifecrafter Member # 7538	written Wednesday, February 21 2007 21:24 Profile Homepage #26 I drink it once in a while, but I've been trying to improve my consumption habits lately (i.e. eating more, as well as eating healthier). Soda really is terrible for you. Especially diet drinks. They've got so many carcinogens in them, you'll be growing tumors out of your hairtips. (Okay, exaggeration, but it gets the point across.) Plus they friggin' upped the prices of soda a couple years ago. I was fairly pissed, and promptly decreased purchase significantly. Now I usually only drink it when it's free for me. :P -------------------- Do not provoke the turtles.

Imban Shake Before Using Member # 75	written Thursday, February 22 2007 14:48 Profile #28 I almost never drink carbonated beverages, although I'll occasionally drink a select few - for me, though, it's mostly milk, iced tea, or fruit juice. I am, sadly, reliant on energy drinks to get me through crunch weeks at school - my body is unnaturally tolerant to caffeine, and while coffee does nothing but make me more tired, whatever's in energy drinks manages to keep me going for a little while.

The_Other_Guy Warrior Member # 5483	written Thursday, February 22 2007 15:22 Profile #30 I definately agree that pop has WAY too much sugar. Also caffeine makes me tired for some reason, my brother's the same way but neither of our parents are. I used to drink a lot of pop when I was a little younger, but now I mostly drink Gatorade. -------------------- Ignorance Is bliss -Cypher (Matrix) Don't think you can; know you can -Morpheus (Matrix) sanity is overrated :) Posts: 130 \| Registered: Monday, February 7 2005 08:00

Jumpin Salmon ? Man, ? Amazing Member # 5755	written Thursday, February 22 2007 16:15 Profile #32 If I need caffeine I drink coffee or tea. If I want fizzies, I drink flavored sparkling water or club soda. I don't drink beverages that contain sweeteners, unless it is cane sugar. Most mass-produced pop contains some sort of manufactured sugar, which I feel I get enough of in more normal foods. Like lime flavored Doritos. Mmmm. Artifical flavorings. Mmmmmm. Must. Resist. Need.

I see so many people who are hopelessly hooked on caffeine, and it really bothers me. It's just flat-out unhealthy, and it's unhealthy for them to set themselves up so they need it.

Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Friday, February 23 2007 10:01 Profile Homepage #39 Diet sodas have a history of switching from artificial sweetener to artificial sweetener as each one is labeled as a carcinogen, and there are some worries about benzene contamination in soft drinks. Actually, there are all kinds of health risks to drinking soda. Carbonation is not, to the best of my knowledge, one of them. —Alorael, who turned to Wikipedia and discovered that the greatest risks of carbonated beverages are explosion and embarassment from the expulsion of gases.
