Breaking a really bad habit...come on admit it PLEASE!

[Beauty]

Okay I'm not gonna post how many Diet Cokes I drink per day just yet because I'm hoping there is at least one person out there worse than me!

I have to quit this and drink more water but it is so hard! Its a danged addiction!

How many Cokes, Diet Cokes, Dr. Pepper...any soft drink do you drink per day! Be honest!! PLEASE BE HONEST....there has to be someone as bad as me!

 

[MrsPiglet]

I am guilty of drinking more than I should, but it is diet so it isn't too bad. I don't drink water, juice , milk, coffee or tea.

I am sure I drink at least 2-- 2 liter bottles a day.

Oh well could be doing something worse!!!

Edited to elt you know it is Diet Dr Pepper or Sam's Choice Diet Dr. thunder.

Not me..but my co-worker drinks ONLY Pepsi

No milk, water, juice nothing only Pepsi...I think she may have you beat Beauty...

I drink 4 - 5 Cokes a day. Guess I'm not too bad after all.

Beth, I sometimes make myself drink a full glass of water before I get a pop. It helps. If I don't drink enough water, I don't feel good at all.

I drink normally about 2 pops a day. At the most, 4.

I used to be really bad with Diet Coke. I'd head to work and start my day with one, and continue througout the day. Never drank coffee, but the diet coke...I was so bad! Then my mom got breast cancer. Not from diet coke...she never toched the stuff. But I figured that I was better off drinking water, oj, milk. For a while I allowed myself a diet coke if we went out...only 1. At home, work, I drank water. I love water...used to only drink it (and oj and milk). It was so hard at first, but after a while I even gave it up when I was going out. They taste disgusting if you haven't had them or any carbonated drinks for a while.

Good luck! It is really hard going off of it, but eventually you will feel so much better!!! I wish my dad would go off of it. He drinks more than 2ltrs a day.

Until very recently I drank 2 or 3 (20-oz) Diet Dr Peppers per day plus 2 or 3 cups of coffee and very little water. Early this year my routine annual blood test revealed a high red blood cell count. I was sent to a hematologist (not fun to be recommended to a cancer doctor!) and had to take various unpleasant medical tests and worry for several weeks that I possibly had a precursor to leukemia (polycythemia). A high red blood cell count also means thicker blood and a greater risk of stroke.

Thankfully the tests revealed that I was dehydrated because I drank too much caffeine and not enough water. I have since completely cut out the caffeine and started drinking tons of water, herbal tea, diet Sprite and so far my subsequent blood tests have come back with much better results.

I have a hard time making myself drink water but I'm thankful such a simple thing has made me healthier.

I usually drink a lot of water when I am working, but on days when I am off I can easily go through a 2 liter bottle of whatever I happen to be drinking that day.

 

[kiddo]

not me... but my supervisor drinks Diet Coke all day.... and just before we leave for the day.... she gets out her flask, yes flask.... and throws a little vodka in it... FOR THE DRIVE HOME...

she isn't endangering herself or anyone else... shes got a serious tolerance to alchohol...(so would i if i did that everday!)

My family would thing I am the worst at drinking my diet coke!! First off, I have to have something to drink in hand at all times...and it is only diet coke (or pepsi)....even in any car ride to the stores and also in any store.
When I go to sleep at night...have to have a "pop" on the night stand. I actually have a 2 liter as well as a 6 pk of bottles in the car for "back up"

That being said, yes,,,,I drink TONS of diet coke!!! If an evening comes along and I don't have AT LEAST 2-2 liters....I have to run and get more.

I know that is bad...should drink water or something but I can't....I HAVE to have my pop!!!

So, I guess, I can drink "easily" 6 2-liters a day.......

 

[MrsPiglet]

Lisa

You sound like me with the drink in hand at all times even in the car. But six that is an awful lot. I thought I was bad with two 2 liters a day.

But at least it is diet.

 

[nativetxn]

I don't drink soft drinks. I drink at least one pot of coffee everyday, though.

My husband drinks 8-10 Diet Dr. Peppers everyday That works well for me. We 10 cents for each bottle. I clean his car and turn in the bottles. It is my super secret mad money fund

 

[Wagamama]

I drink at least 2 cans of Pepsi a day and about a gallon of Snapple peach iced tea.

 

[JoeThaNo1Stunna]

Geez, I thought I was bad. I have like 2-3 cans of Coke/Pepsi per day. I cannot stand the taste of diet soda, I have no clue how anyone can drink it. If worried about the calories I will always opt for water over the disgusting diet sodas.

I used to drink about 2 cans of pepsi a day. But two months ago, I got clear braces on my teeth, which I will probably wear for over three years. My ortho says not to eat or drink anything very sugary, as the sugar can quickly cause decay around the brackets since they are hard to clean. Also, anything dark can stain the clear braces, so bye bye pepsi! So now, I occasionaly drink sprite, maybe twice a week I have one can. But usually I drink bottled water now. I was surprised how easy it was to give up soda!

[cinmell]

[Kitty 34]

I stopped drinking pop about 7 years ago......it was causing a lot of stomach problems for me.

 

[kdibattista]

I probably drink at least 8 glasses of diet sprite a day but I do also drink a ton of water... way more then 8 glasses/way more then the daily recommended.
