Addicted to Coca-Cola?

I used to be, not anymore. They are predicting our generation will have brittle bones in years to come due to the phosphoric acid removing the calcium from your bones.

It said in the write up I read that if you drink anything near half a litre a day you would be wise to take calcium supplements.

I have the Sugar free Caffeine free coca cola and I drink gallons of it. I always have a bottle in front of me and when I take a sip its like having a hit even though (as far as I know) its fizzy water.

I quite like the caffeine free sugar free version as i cant drink anything with sugar in as my body just doesnt like it, i get major effects off it and the same with caffeine, however diet coke caffeine free has aspertaine (sp?) in it which i have heard is worse.

Irn Bru > Coke Cola

I gave up drinking coke by the 2L a day load a while ago. Tried various drinks, then realised I'd replaced it with Aspartame... realising I dont particularly want a Brain Tumour or get paralysed I am now trying other drinks.

hehe for me its great! but i was the same as you when i was finding alternatives with diet coke.. yuck i hate that stuff
 
Well, I have to admit to consuming an average of two litres of coke per day and yes I am addicted. Anyhoo, I'd already resolved to get of it and tomorrow I'm back on diet Irn-Bru which I tend to drink far less of. In time I'll probably just switch to milk or water but I need to get rid of this sweet tooth first.
 
Definitely possible. In my case, I'm addicted to diet fizzy drinks, it's the asparteme in them. & I can't get through the day without at least a couple of cans of fizzy pop.
 
I used to be mad for bottles of Coke but now suddely gone off all fizzy drink as of a few weeks ago, and starting to feel better for it. :)
 
Only time I have fizzy drinks is when we're in a part of uni without appropriate alternatives. I intend to cut them out altogether this term :) juice/milk/water is all I have at home. And beer...

Coca-Cola is no worse than any of the other soft drinks. If you really cared for your health to that level, you wouldenr be drinking Irn Bru either.
 
Nope, only drink coke now and again.

I don't think I'm addicted to caffeine either, despite me drinking 2-3 cups of freshly ground per day.

I drink it in the week, but of a weekend I don't bother and I don't miss it.

I'm a Pro Plus person myself, random uni coursework all-nighters have required it, now it helps me perk up at nights.
I used to drink a 2 litre bottle of Fizzy Vimto a day, Vimto really is the king of tasty soft beverages.

There is a good reason its an anagram of vomit you know....
 
Half a litre a day seems fairly low tbh, years ago I used to easily drink 2litres+ a day. I look after myself far better now though, drink nothing but water, very rarely drink diet pop, not 100% on aspartame as a sweetener.
 
yeah i seen the girl who was drinking 4 litres aday, she was crazy.

I used to drink a lot of it, but i feel dirty if i drink it now, and the flavour isn't anything special. Same with most fizzy drinks actually. Much prefer Ronbinson's diluted, or anything diluted.... best when you're dying of thirst and you don't have the fizzyness killing your throat when you down it lol.
