Shifting to H20

[ConstantErasing]

Most of my liquid intake is water, milk, and fruit juice. For me soda is really just an occasional luxury.

What do you mean by "having another crash"?

Drink a lot of pop. Have energy for half an hour and then the next two hours I feel exhausted.

How much pop are we talking here?

I was sharing with my sister but I ended up drinking about 80% of a 2 liter bottle alone seeing as she hardly has any.

I'm the same way in the amount, but not necessarily in the timeframe. I typically space out that 80% between 1 or 2 days. That being said, I drink almost nothing but soda. I'm probably setting myself up for some serious diabetes in a few years, so I've decided to slowly cut back starting last week.

Yeah, its a bad habit. I only really started to watch my sugar intake lately after I've been making many trips into the city. Too much pop/other sugary drinks...

Yeah, I guess superscript is pretty intuitive.

Thank you Master Jonluw. I will use this power wisely.

Always steer your heart onto the right path in the code.

When the time comes that the embeds' sizes need to change; find me in the off-topic forum...

I reserve the caffinated beverages for the weekends. Throughout the week i drink a good lot of water and/or juice (various styles of Pomegranate or Cranberry as those are healthier for the body)

I drank so much on saturday that I passed out in the bathroom and cacked my head on the sink.....

water for a few days I think!

Let me hazard a guess... six or seven?! =P

Drinks or days?
*three bottles of red wine, a bottle of brandy and half a bottle of champagne!
*and had me a couple of cocktails today to celebrate me ma's birthday, feeling better already!

And I think that's taking 'crash' a little too literally... -_-

Ohh you spoilsport!

I switched to water and lost a stone in a month. True story, that's my experience.

(I don't know what a stone is in USA terms exactly, I think its about 12 pounds)

Sounds about right. I've dropped 20 pounds in less than two months, and it's from switching to diet (technically switching back. It's a bit harder to drink nothing but diet when you live on a college campus that has the sugared stuff everywhere, and a very limited selection of diet drinks.)

 

[thiosk]

I cut almost all soda (minus beer, which is barley soda!) out of my diet. I figure it saved me 1500 calories per week, and im not even a heavy soda drinker.

Theres nothing wrong with soda, but people drink TOO MUCH.

...You know there is such a thing as diet coke / diet lemonade / diet whatever fizzy drink, right?

Not that that should dissuade you from sticking to water. It's healthy for you, flushes out your system, and as you say - cheaper. Coke's £2 for a big bottle, so you get several of times at a time and it really starts to rack up... £10 on fizzy drinks a week is a bit overkill especially if you don't have a job or are a student

I've found diet anything tastes like ass something terrible. At least all of the ones I've tried.

I'll stick to water.

I mostly drink water because I'm a bit of a fitness freak. I love staying in shape and after a whole bunch of videos and articles of how bad pop/soda is for you, I seldom drink it (but when I do, I prefer Dr. Pepper XD). Besides, milk is also amazing when you add a bit of that flavoured syrup stuff to it to make it chocolate or strawberry flavoured. =)

However, I almost never use water bottles because:
a) I have a reusable bottle
b) I have a Brita filter in the reusable bottle
c) Plastic is bad for the environment etc etc.

Most juices are great too. I'm not picky when it comes to drinks. =)

P.S. I actually really like this thread as a whole. Very neat topic OP. ^^

It does at first, but you get used to it. Also, there's a few drinks that were designed to be diet from the beginning, and those usually taste better than their sugared alternatives. The big two are Diet Rite and Diet Sierra Mist. Sugared Sierra Mist is /way/ too sweet for my tastes, and I have a sweet tooth that would fit in the mouth of a tyrannosaur.
