How much pop do you drink?

[trax1]

I was watching a thing on The History channel about soda pop, and it said that the average American drinks 555 cans a year, now I'm way over that number, on average I drink 2 24 packs a week, sometime more, sometimes less, but that averages out to 2496 cans a year.

I'm addicted to caffeine, if I don't drink any caffeine in a day I'll get a really bad headache, thats why when I do have a headache, or if I don't have any pop with caffeine to drink I'll take a couple Excedrin migraine pills because each pill has about 65mg of caffeine in it.

I don't drink very much pop.  Waaaaaaaay too much sugar in it. And it doesn't quench my thirst either.

As for caffeine, well there's coffee.  For those who know.....timmy's double-double.

This is a bad question for me to answer being I work for Coca Cola.   I thought it out 1 day and it was about a gallon of soda a day.  lol

Yeah that's probably about what I drink too if I figured out how many cans are in a gallon, the thing is in the show they said the average was a gallon a week though, so were drinking 7 times more then average.

Also just a little bit of trivia, 40% of all the sugar usage in the U.S is all in soda pop.

I allow myself one 12oz can per day with lunch. The rest of the time its coffee, water, or of course beer.

It's good to know I'm not alone in this horrible adiction.


BANZ TEH SODA POPZ!!!11!!1

I drink coffee in the morning but avoid soda as much as possible.

One 12oz can of soda every day for a year is equal to 14lbs of extra body fat, iirc.  Thank the corn lobby.

Haven't you all seen Super-Size Me?  You are on the way for an early heart attack, by-pass surgery and all that crap if you're drinking multiple cans every day.

[Getback]

Way way too much. In fact I'm giving it up after amphetamines, barbituates, and glue.

[Selino631]

Not necessarily, Like I said, I drink 2 cases a pop a week and I'm thin, hell I wish I could put on more weight, it all depends on your body type & your metabolism.

I try to limit myself to 1 can a day, and that's diet.  I've drank diet for years and I've gotten quite used to it.  Except if I'm really thirsty, nothing ever beats a nice cold regular full sugar Coke.

[smkelly13]

I quit drinking pop around the time I quit smoking.

I'm a terrific quitter.

[Simaril]

All diet for me, but still drink way more than I should. Probably adds up to 2 liters+.


For those drinking regular pops/sodas/cokes -- each and every can has enough calories to put on 3/4 ounce of body fat. Per can. (Usual conversion rate is 220 calories per pound of body fat.)

I live in Texas, so we dont drink "pop" we drink "coke"

Let me give you an example;

burger king employee:  sir, would you like a coke

customer: yes please

burger king employee: what kind of coke do you want

customer:  a sprite...

Racist bastage.  Every modern intellectual knows that genetics has nothing to do with anything.  It's all socio-economic pressure and discrimination that makes fat people fat, dumb people dumb, etc.

I drink the same 2 cases of pop every week and I'm slightly overweight, but it's because people like you are discriminating against me.  I'm a victim.
