Soda

[Rai]

I tend to drink soda when I'm upset. I like the bubbles; they make me happy inside. Also, they help me get rid of stomach aches.

Sometimes I will get cravings for soda, but I try to avoid drinking them as much as possible. I know it's bad for you and it has way too much sugar.

I drink soda. Sometimes for the caffeine (I never acquired a taste for coffee) but more often because it's easier to wash down pills with soda as opposed to water or juice, at least for me.

I don't drink soda, because it is very unhealthy- a can of Coke contains 400 grams of sugar and we're only supposed to have 32 grams of sugar per-day :<

I'm actually trying to stop drinking soda altogether. Slowly but surely haha.

A couple of years ago I was practically addicted to Mountain Dew Voltage, it was pretty bad.

I stopped drinking soda on a regular basis a long time ago. This was more out of saving money than health concerns, though. I am not a health freak and I realize a bottle a day probably won't do too much to hurt me since that is not my entire liquid consumption for the day.

I'm pretty sure the most popular reason for drinking soda is because it tastes good.

Before i start im going to say this.

Water isn't supposed to have a taste. For all of you saying you like the 'taste' of water, what your tasting is all the chemicals and other assorted goodies that are either added after purification or are only able to be purified down to 'safe' levels. That, and it might taste like copper or whatever your water pipes are made of.

That said, coke is popular because of two things. One is advertisement. Two is that sugar, like alchol and nicotine, is addictive.

Diet isn't much better though. For most cokes the sugar replacement is a antidepressant. That and its roumored to cause bone weakening in young children. Some of them use Aspartame which is made up of, essentially, poisons.

Also, Touko, I don't know what can of coke you are looking at but i think that the regular can of coke has something like 37 grams of sugar, not 400.

I like water and milk the most.

I think people drink soda because they like the taste of it. They are also addicted to it.

Tbh I drink way too much soda, but where my body has gotten accustom to all the caffeine if I don't drink it, I sorta crash.

I can't explain, really. I just LOVE how flavorful and peaceful it is to drink Coca-Cola. It gives me the boost to continue on a bad day. So what if the acid is strong? Stomach acid is hardcore.

This. Plus, once you start drinking it you get addicted. And, imo it's a lot healthier to be addicted to fizzy drinks than drugs or alcohol. So yeah, fizzy drinks are awesome.

really soda is awful for you. It takes a lot of miles to burn a mountain dew or a coca cola off on the treadmill.

People like it for either two reasons (In my opinion)
-Because it taste good
-And because its what "everyone" does.
People try to fit in. Maybe thats the reason why kids drink things like Monster and Redbull when their with their friends. Or because of the taste. Im not sure which
