[moribundi] Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 Interesting...how much did you smoke out of curiousity? Usually a pack a day, Camel Wides or Marlboro Blend 27s. Sometimes Newports, sometimes Lucky Strikes. So, I suppose you'd say some of the harder blends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djesteban Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 Well I drink probably 6-7 cans a day, not a lot. However it's been just over 24 hours since I had one, and I have had a terrible headache all day. LOL! not a lot?!? that's an insane amount man... not if you compare it to the "american" standard but still... any doctor will tell you your nuts to drink that much soda. :) ...BUT congradulation for stopping! never to late ;P for the side effect.. it's kind of normal. The headaches comes from the fact that you consumption of sugar has drastically decreased. Everything should be ok in a few weeks. If you want to help yourself, drink some water. BTW, just a reminder that any other soft drinks are has bad for you has soda. I'm talking here of: ice tea, juice made from concentrate, etc. They contains somethimes more sugar than coca cola or pepsi. Get a full glass of real orange juice (not from concentrate) in the morning and this should be enough for a day. For the rest of the day you should drink water! water! water! Your saying that you drink a lot of tea... that's not bad for you if you don't abuse! Not the same for coffee and ice tea! aight! get well! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djesteban Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 yeah, I suceed too, Iced Tea all the way :D lol... ice tea is just has bad for your health... it's still soft drink.. same amount of caffeine, sugar, etc it's not because it ain't a cola that it's better... TRUST me :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ehrihk Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 I rarely ever drink soda; the only sodas I ever do drink are Creme Soda and Orange Soda (both are normally caffeine free). My addiction is Kool-Aid! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aem4162 Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 i tried to cut down on dew about 20 yrs ago. i was drinking 5-6 bottles a day at work and it got to where that wasn't enough. i dropped to 2 or so/day and the withdrawal was horrible...i was a total crab. but then i left that job and didn't drink it as much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Frett Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 I sure did. After soda's started giving me kidney stones I pretty much had to quit. It's all water for me now! ;) Believe me when I say that once you get started on water, you crave it. I have also found that if I drink a bottle real fast, It'll give me a slight buzz. seriously.

-=SD=- Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 Yeah, I should cut down too.. but its so tasty and addictive and refreshing.. lol I don't know, I normally drink bottled water if we get it, but other than that just coke.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamend Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 I gave it up not too long ago... the headaches take a bit longer than a day to go away (maybe a week or so). I stopped because I thought being addicted to anything couldn't be too good, and also because it was just as expensive as smoking. Now I drink a lot of orange juice (I hate water). Also, when I did drink coke I would stop a few hours before going to bed so that I could get a decent amount of sleep, but since I've stopped I can't get more than 4 hours a night.

I just never really liked the taste all that much. a slight buzz? :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanky Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 I love coke but I try not to drink it toooo much. Probably like 1 can day average. I used to drink more but 6-7 cans of drink a day must surely be terrible for your stomach. Worse than smoking even? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a guy named sodapop. HA!! But anyways, when I went through basic training for the Army I didn't drink much pop. It didn't really bother me stopping so abruptly either. But after that was through, I went back to drinking as much as before. I just love the taste of Dr Pepper so much. I probably drink 3-4 cans a day, or a 44oz fountain drink. Some days or more, some are less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuka_t Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 i drink 3 doctor peppers a day. however, i keep an extra 6-pack buffer in the back of the fridge to make sure that i never run out. however i drink quite a bit of water, so its all good. Edit: and i drink water at restaurants always. im not paying 3 bucks for a watered down piece of crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigitalN. Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 I heard something really strange earlier, if you drink a can of pop, drink the same amount i milk and it will cancel out the effect of pop. is that true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
