My father drinks coke all day every day, and he is largely viewed as insane. He goes through between 1l and 2l a day, and that's after being told to cut back by a doctor. Also, he has no teeth. Although, that probably has as much to do with 3 packs of cigarettes a day, too.

[Sebastian2203]

Well that makea me relieved to know how it is not considered Okay

Also I might try to investigate that rumor about it weakening your bones...

[Tiruin]

It's not a rumor ._.
However what does make it a rumor are in the details by which it occurs.

...But yeah. It's not a rumor.

BFEL got fat because he was drinking 2 CASES of Coke a day for an entire summer.

I fucked up HARD there.

But yeah, at least Coke isn't funding that asshat Al Sharpton like Pepsi is....

Pretty sure another of my friends is taking heroin. Idk what even. Why is everyone I know constantly trying to ride the merry-go-round of self-destruction? O_o

I still don't get why it's all fun and games if you ingest toxic shit like alcohol and do drugs, but the moment you start making yourself bleed for fun then it means you need help.

I drank a can a day for an entire summer.

Boy, it's hard to stop. But I kinda realised it probably wasn't healthy.

[Arx]

A can a day isn't that bad, surely? I mean, I have half a glass a day and I'm fine.

[Graknorke]

No that sounds pretty bad.
Also, why? Why would you even do that?

[Dutchling]

I love Iced Tea, but I'm trying not to drink too much carbonated stuff.

Do you want kidney stones?

Because that's how you get kidney stones.

[FearfulJesuit]

Sweet tea is my biggest dietary vice, I'm afraid. Other than that, I'm pretty good at staying off sugar.

Didn't keep me from getting two venti-sized vanilla bean frappucini at Starbucks yesterday, though...

[Frumple]

Iirc, re: coke, so long as you're also drinking something like... six times? That in water you'll be alright. If you're not, you're screwing yourself over a bit. Something along those lines. Most carbonated drinks are actually pretty nasty for you, especially the sweet ones.

Also something along those lines is a fair major cause of why I personally have pretty terrible reflux these days and have largely stopped being able to drink anything carbonated or caffeinated without having to deal with acid bile from hell. Some people don't have that problem, but some do. Genetic coinflip(s) and all that. Maybe you're lucky. Maybe you're looking at having to go cold turkey or pain in another five or six years.

And yeah, tea, iced tea in particular (if by iced tea you mean something approaching the standard US southern iced tea) is a good way to induce kidney stones, apparently. So I was told by the doctors, anyway. Don't even drink the stuff, but it was noted as a potential causal factor for certain sorts of 'em.

[FearfulJesuit]

Man, every time I hear the word "kidney stone", I go running to the nearest water fountain. That's an ailment I wish never to experience.

[Frumple]

You really, really don't. Just... yeah, avoid that if at all possible.

When you say 2 cases, you're not talking twelve packs, are you? That's (12oz*24=288) 288 Fluid ounces or 2 gallons and a quart, or roughly 8.5 Liters.

Beyond just drinking that much, I'm baffled by the logistics of consuming that much as far as acquisition and storage go. Would you buy 14 cases each week or is it a situation where you'd go to the store every day because it's close?

How do you think fat people exist?
