Coke or gin and tonic - what's worse?

[Monkeynut]

So, how many deaths are attributable to aspartame? And I'm talking peer-reviewed scientific studies, not Facebook.

Diabetes is a horrible way to go, let alone the horrendous cost of dealing with it.

You're making my pont for me, that sugar has huge health implications, Aspartame less so.

Give me a nice cold can of Diet Coke over most alcoholic drinks, to be honest.

(not really a drinker)

My bad, I thought you were arguing that aspartame is worse than sugar!

An in-law went through the process of type 2 diabetes last year. Had got to the point where they couldn't save his legs, it was a matter of time before they were getting amputated. Died before it got to that though, at 62.

There's only so long you can get away with a crap diet and lifestyle....

For me, if I'm going to have a Coke I have a proper full fat Coke, if I'm having a G n T its full fat too. That said I'm very careful about the amount of sugar that I eat (drink) so rarely have any fizzy drinks just as a drink on its own (probably haven't had one this year yet) I do however enjoy relaxing with a nice alcoholic drink in the sun at times but almost never drink at home, so G n T for me if the suns shining and I'm out (although a bitter shandy would be my go to summer time thirst quencher).

Sugar is fine in moderation, the issue is a lack of self control and good diet or poor parenting

I have never been a coke or pepsi fan so only had one every blue moon then saw this so never touch the stuff at all now except if I want to remove rust from something.

G&T, treat yourself....have a couple

The only cola I actually enjoy is Pepsi Max

Lime cordial and soda is the non alcoholic alternative to coke. Often very cheap in a pub, not too sweet and quite drinkable.

No premix alcohol drink is good. Use original spirit with a good quality mixer.

I will admit that I thought the OP was comparing cocaine with Gin and tonic from the title

 

[Von Luck]

Lots of ice, slice of lime, Bombay Sapphire gin, Schweppes slimline tonic. Repeat. Have tried many different types of gin and still rate BS as the nicest.

Not a fan of Coke Zero, original Coke or Diet at a push.

Full fat Coke glazed Ham is delicious, we have it every year for Christmas. I recommend it.

Back in the day when I used to drink my favourite simple mixes was either coke/pepsi and gin/vodka.

All combos work well.
