Once in a blue moon I have a soda. My mom's been hospitalized and I went wild and got a root beer instead of water with my lunch at the hospital cafe the other day, and I'm not sorry.
But for those of us of a certain age, say over 50--we remember when soda was a TREAT for special occasions. A family picnic, a birthday party, etc. It came in glass bottles, was not sold in liters yet, lol, and no one bought soda as an everyday beverage and kept it in the house and drank it all the time.
Look at the news clips and documentaries from the 60s and 70s. Very few people are overweight. Coincidence? I think not.

We must be similar in age. Remember when you could get an Ice Cold Coke and a candy bar for 10-15 cents? That was a special treat only on special occasions.
Always hated when my dad said "Give me a drink". I always got back about half my soda.
I rarely drink soda, so when I do have a coke once every 2 or 3 months, I enjoy it greatly. But, obviously not enough to want to go out and buy a 12pack of the stuff.
A few months ago, I was hooked on san pellegrino sparkling blood orange drink, and would have 1 can of it a day. That went on for about 2 weeks or so until I lost interest in it.
I do sometimes buy flavored sparkling waters as they are refreshing, but for the most part, I drink plain old water.
Love sparkling water. I was stationed in Sicily for two years. When I found the blood orange soda carried by HEB, I was in heaven. Love the stuff.
My system can't handle the carbonation, so never been a soda drinker. I'm a fan of V8 hot and spicy, and coffee every chance I get. Not big on water, has no flavor, but when I do drink it, it's bottled.
Someone I grew up with had died from drinking a 12 pack of Pepsi every day, I know someone that drinks a 12 pack of Busch every day and he is still alive and well.

Try Propel, I drink 24 oz. every day. Your body needs water, and I try to drink as much water daily as I do coffee. I'm addicted to both Propel and coffee.

What is the supposed connection between Coke, and a baby being born without tooth enamel?
