Carbonated Beverages

[SwordoftheVistula]

Usually at least a few cans/day, often more. I need caffeine from somewhere, and I don't like coffee or tea. I've tried those '5 hour energy' things but they taste gross. Also it's what I drink with meals more often than not.

I do not like to take too much sugar.

If I have to have a drink in a social situation it will be tonic water and very rarely.

At home I drink water with lemon juice. I just fill a large glass with water and squeeze a lemon into it. It makes London water palatable.

I have stopped eating out (credit munch) so I do not order fizzy mineral water like I used to do with Oriental food.

So at a push I will buy lemonade or tonic water, but I do not like it because the sugar is bad for me.

I drink at least a litre of Cola each day, as long as I got it. Once, I stopped totally and kept it like that for 2 weeks, replacing it with orange juice. And then there was a fallback, and now I'm back to basis. God' damn cocain shit

Sweden it the bubbly water capital of the world! My friends are even making their own at home

I generally dislike carbonated drinks, especially the ones with monstrous amounts of sugar. I occasionally enjoy a Coca Cola Light but I generally avoid them. Plain water and freshly squeezed orange juice for me, thanks!

Yes, soda is "hot" in Sweden. This Hallonsoda is not too bad:



There's one of those that smells like dishwasher liquid ... I think it's this one:




I way prefer water. Drinking sweet sodas too often makes me sick .

Just for your information: Diet sodas are more harmful for your body then non-diet.

All I've read is Coke this and Coca-Cola that! Gosh!! Whatever happened to the Pepsi Generation?? Huh? huh?

Well you'll all laugh but my Canadian friends here will know about this one already: we French Canadians are reknowned for our delightful 'petit dejeuner'...ready for it? A Jos. Louis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos._Louis) and a Pepsi! To turn it into a hearty lunch or supper, just add a poutine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poutine)! What a gastronomical delight!

But coming back to Æmeric's question: alas, I also drink a Pepsi or diet Pepsi in the afternoon. I seem to like the caffeine.

Cheers for now...Aemma

I drink more tea, water and cool aid than I do cokes. I am hooked on tropical punch cool aid right now! If I am truly thirsty I only want water. We drink alot of water in my house. Every now and then I'll buy a coke but I really don't care about it. And, I hate coffee.

I've heard that aspartame is bad for you but so is HFC. I don't know if there is any non-diet soft drinks sold in the US that is not sweeten with HFC.

Jones soda is made with pure sugar (not corn syrup), also Walgreens now has a sugar only (no HFC) brand. Some grocery stores in areas with lots of Mexicans sell Mexican coke which has no HFC.
