How much soda do you drink?

[fading]

I used to drink soda all the time. Besides Beer it was all I would drink. But now I don't drink it at all.

 

[Chromatose]

Probably like 2 cans a day of diet something caffeinated. If I don't get much sleep the night before it typically ends up being a steady flow of soder drinkin' though to keep me going.

Every now and then I get on a kick to stop drinking it altogether, and after about 2 days I'm done with caffeine headaches, but then a few days later I run out of juice or bottled waters and need something to drink so I go for a soda and IT BEGINS AGAIN

Can ceffeine cause headaches? Hmm...

 

[Chromatose]

lack of it, yes.

It's an addictive substance, without it blood vessels in your brain constrict because they need their fix.

edit: er, I have it backwards maybe? Headaches are usually caused by enlarging blood vessels, where as caffeine keeps them restricted, I think. So lack of caffeine causes them to enlarge more than normal perhaps

and then too much caffeine can cause a headache by excessive constricting.

My mother becomes an irritable bitch without caffeine.

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

Likewise.

I hate diet soda... aspartame and NutraSweet and sucralose stand out too much to me and ruin the experience.

 

[Anvil]

I get migranes quite regularly, and drinking caffeine when and only when they're nearing, can actually prevent them from getting any worse. This is with me, anyway... a lot of people are different.

 

[Chromatose]

I used to think that too about the aspartame, until I got used to it perhaps. I still taste it in certain things, like diet coke, and certain brands of light yogurts.

Now when I have a regular soda, the SUGAR stands out too much to me and ruins the experience.

Agreed, diet soda is always vile. I don't understand how people can't taste that nastiness.

 

[Captain Beard]

You mean fructose, Derick. And I tried for years, not never over the artificial sweeteners.

 

[Burti]

Don't drink it.

 

[Chromatose]

Yes, you are quite correct. I can drink a soda with cane sugar and think it's DELICIOUS.

 

[Captain Beard]

See? Cane Sugar soda is all I want to drink now! I hate fructose and artificial stuff. I want CS Dr. Pepper

 

[Lord Foul]

Great, now you made me have to walk over to 7-11 and grab a Mexican Coke

 

[metal17]

oh the whole new england vs central debate...

IT'S FUCKING SODA

how about soft drink

 

[Chromatose]

Fresh off the line from the factory in a glass bottle! mmmmmmmm

 

[Captain Beard]

Drink and enjoy, bastard. I'll never get a factory tour. *shakes fist*

 

[Chromatose]

Come back and we'll take a roadtrip to Dr Pepper, TX

 

[Captain Beard]

I'm trying, believe me. I have to weigh between two requested points of return this year. Nothing would satisfy me more than some Waterburger and a Sugar Dr Pepper. Except maybe WB onion rings along with it.
