Poll: Ever had a drink addiction?

[pixiejedi]

Pepsi, I get made fun of at work that I work over 9 hours a day and have to bring 3 in with me. Also had an alcohol addiction in fallout 3 once, took about 50 caps and a shot to get rid of it, too bad its not as easy to get out of the caffeine.

Cherry Coke alternated with Vault. I drink that stuff like water.

 

[samsprinkle]

Used to drink a couple tree sodas a day...I also used to be fat...

 

[rottenbutter]

Hold on. Being a Brit I don't have M. Dew but I heard it does damage to your 'little man'. Is this true?

I'm not sure, what kind of damage?

 

[Mr.Pandah]

Mountain Dew apparently kills sperm, but it'll never kill enough to actually do any true damage...So no, it doesn't do damage.

As for me, I'm rotting away my innards with all the Pepsi I drink. I try to cut back, but some stuff just tastes so damn good with Pepsi.

I tried sniffing coke once, but the ice cubes got stuck in my nose.

Shaking cans, then opening them slightly to huff the carbonation is great.

But yeah, I get hooked on carbonated drinks often, then I have to ween myself off when I notice,

For the longest time (since the 80s) it's been believed that Yellow 5 (a coloring dye used in Mountain Dew and Mountain Dew Livewire) kills sperm. I recently found out this is actually not true.

Also if it were the amount you'd have to ingest via Mountain Dew alone would probably kill you from caffeine overdose first.

If you're still worried about potency, just go for the Dewmocracy flavors, those seem to be Yellow 5 free.

Or at least I hope so given how addicted I am to The Dew in general (though I really wish they'd bring back Pitch Black)

I was once addicted to chocolate milk. I drank so much that I passed out for a while.

From time to time I get into a caffeine habit of one sort of another. During my technical training (classes started around 6 AM at Keesler, and still do IIRC) I had a definite coffee habit- one large cup every morning, full of sugar and creamer because I despise the actual taste of coffee. I kept the coffee for another year or so. Eventually I drifted out of it, because I noticed how fuzzy I was every morning until I'd had a cup or two.
In the last five years I've never grown to like coffee, nor have I been a cup-every-morning guy since then.

I don't know why I didn't share this in the OP, but I'm positive I'm literally addicted to Coke. I tried to stop and I lasted a few days, but I started getting headaches and then I just felt bad in general. And then I always felt like I was missing something. With some help from my mom actually, I deduced I was having withdrawal.

Ever since, I've tried to limit myself to one a day... it's not worked, but being conscious of it has helped.

I used to be very addicted to caffiene, so much that this one time I ran out of coke and by 9:00PM I had a huge stomach ache and extreme headaches. I had to go to McDonalds for a coke just to calm down and stop the withdrawel symptoms.

There was also a time where I tried to limit myself to one can a day. I was able to do it and drank a lot more water. By the end of the week I just felt weird (and really healthy) and just started drinking coke again.

My favorite pop is Dr. Pepper.

Dr. Pepper and Nuka-Cola. Okay, well maybe the second one was fictional, but still....

 

[EvilEngineNumberNine]

Monster Khaos

Previously Mountain Dew

Liar, you can't be addicted to Nuka-Cola. Even the manuel says that.

 

[implodingMan]

I have a full cart of banana-strawberry juice in the fridge next to me, which will probably be empty by tomorrow morning. If someone gives me pomegranate juice I will inhale it, I love that stuff so much.

Yeah, in Fallout 3. I'm talking about old-school Fallout 1 and 2. =P There was a 15% chance of addiction to it I believe.

God that stuff stings the nostrels.

 

[s0ap sudz]

Yes, I myself am a 'diet coke' addict.

 

[Russian_Assassin]

Coca Cola... I got over it but it came back once I saw a bottle of Nuka Cola in Fallout 3

No but really, I think I'm addicted to Cola...

 

[PureChaos]

i went through a stage last winter where i seemed to be addicted to hot chocolate
