Do you drink diet drinks? Woman Drinks 12 Diet Cokes a Day. (health, cream)

[City Data Guy]

I will drink diet soft drinks, but I prefer non-diet ones.

I drink about six to eight cans of pop a day.

I drink them very occasionally, and I only like Diet Dr Pepper at this point...the rest taste funky to me. I cut waaaaay down on my soda consumption about 4 or 5 years ago to the point that I typically drink 1 or less sodas per week. And usually I try to drink the sugar-based ones as opposed to corn syrup.

I'd rather drink coffee or tea during the day.

I drink so little soda that when I want one I drink regular Pepsi...I'm talking once every few months, or less.
I know some people are addicted to sodas, and they can't really be doing themselves any good.

I like naturally unsweetened carbonated beverages like Izze. But no diet drinks! The fake sugar additives make me super sick and dehydrated. And they taste nasty.

[TabulaRasa]

I don't drink much soda, diet or otherwise. Only very, very occasionally, and in small doses. I drink a ton of water, tea, and coffee, though. I usually flavor my water with lemon or lime.

I'm really against artificial sweeteners in everything else, but I'll drink a diet coke any day of the week!

I try to keep my intake down by only having it when we eat out. I don't buy it at the grocery store, and I try to stay away from it while out shopping!

I can't stand regular soda, the sugar just sits on my teeth. And I don't really like the taste of any other diet soda. But diet coke? Love it.

I'm so used to drinking the sugar-free stuff, that now I prefer it to the sugar-laden stuff. But Diet Coke sux compared to Coke Zero!

I don't drink diet anything. I have always heard reports that they are not good. They are also very addictive and target women.

I have two cans of diet soda every day to go with lunch and dinner. Years ago I dropped 93 pounds over a one year period. One change I had made was to have diet soda instead regular. Now I actually enjoy diet more than regular, and the zero calories is nice. I simply enjoy my meals much more if I have something more than just water to go along with it. Aside from the sodium content, diet soda is really neither good nor bad for you.

I used to, but I have cut way back. I have one or less a day now. All that aspertame cannot be a good thing.
