Why drink anything other than water?

Because you're at an age where you imbibe whatever mommy gives you and mommy gives you sugar water?

>>7972198
It might sustain you but you'll hate yourself for it because it is a chore like eating rice or pasta.

I grew out of soda and mostly drink water, tea, or sometimes juice

>>7972191
I don't usually, but I got a 12-pack of Coke on Monday and I've already had 8 of them

its like the dessert of dinner

>>7972191
Because you fell for the liquid jew

There's nothing redeeming about soda
>high sugar spikes insulin

>sugar destroys enamel
>diet soda just sucks

tastes good???

>>7972278
Same, I didn't really grow out of it though, its just that when i was in highschool I used to use soda as a chaser and now I can't drink them without having this phantom vodka taste
Its a good thing I guess because when I first stopped drinking soda I lost like 10 pounds

Sugar addiction.

Although I hear that there's some autism regarding root beer. Is that worth getting into?

>>7972191
I like ssoda but it makes me feel sick when I drink it because of sugar

>>7972191
Because it tastes good?

Because it tastes good.. I usually try to only drink it during meals though.

Because it is sweet.

>>7972191
Food tastes weird without it

>>7972191
Because I want to?

I've got a feeling that all the anti soda and sugar people on /ck/ are really fat manlets. They seem like the kind of people that order a 5000 calorie fast food meal with "just a ice water please"

>>7972191
Because freedom of choice is a very wonderful thing, and anyone who disagrees is a fucking jew.

dis

safeway (aka tom thumb aka randalls) here is selling canned carbonated water for crazy cheap, like 2.50 for a 12 pack. i drank nothing but soda for a long time and carbonated water is insanely helpful for keeping me away from drinks with calories. cold carbonated water with a tiny bit of fruit flavoring scratches that itch for me, you may have similar luck.

also, if you have access to coke freestyles, you can typically get dasani sparkling in plain or lime flavors which is also just carbonated with no sweeteners. all the jack in the boxes here have them and i'll often stop in and just grab a drink on my commute to or from school or work.

Goes great with whiskey, though I've switched to diet soda recently. Too much sugar otherwise.

Rice and pasta with sauce is delicious. A meal feels incomplete and doesn't taste as good without either rice or pasta.

>and to answer OP
it tastes pretty good. refreshing after only coffee, tea, and water for a couple weeks. also, using root beer or colas to marinade steaks or ribs can be surprisingly good.

>>7981295
Yup, Got some jones But im thinking of trying Stewart soon. I drank some Jones before, Blue bubblegum and Purple grape.

>>7972522
>phantom vodka taste

Wtf I know this. One of the many reasons I quit drinking. I gag just thinking about it

sometimes I drink a can of coke after working out on a hot day. so delicious.

>>7972522
I used to mix it 3:1, was convenient because it somehow covered up the smell. Too well, actually, because drinking it now basically gives me the phantom vodka thing.

>>7972191
I drink seltzer because I enjoy the bubbles.

>>7982173
Somehow erased the part saying it was Robinson's apple&blackcurrant squash concentrate.

I don't miss vodka but I do miss enjoying the squash.

Not exactly trying to shill but that mojito 7up helps me deal with soda cravings, it's only 14kcal/bottle.

Just cause I need my kick. Used to guzzle a whole 12 pack of soda in a day like an absolute madman when I was maybe 8 years old, because Amerifat and legitimately retarded, but now I only have it once in a while.

Also, you haven't fucking lived till you tried this before. They have plenty stocked up at the local deli shop round my parts.

>>7972196
Barg's is best root beer tho

>>7981295
>>7981359
I don't usually drink Jones often, since there really aren't many places I know around my hood that sells them, but the berry lemonade is pretty fucking tasty

Barq's
That's a q you mongoloid.

>>7981204
have you heard of nail clippers?

there shouldn't really be any reason to get soda other than the occasional can, I'm partial to san pellegrino or ting myself but the latter is hard as duck and expensive so I just stick to grapefruit san pel like once a month on my cheat day with a side of lasagna or takeout general tso as an occasional indulgence

>>7982512
They're not that long. But I might give them a snap just cause you say so anon.

>>7982269
Same. I can only think of 2-3 Places and one of them is a small cantina.

> not drinking at least 2 bottles of delicious soda everyday

>>7978713
All acid deteriorates enamel, dumbass.

I drink the occasional soda for nostalgia, but most are too sweet. Seltzer master race.

>>7981204
Is it really worth the 5-6 bucks?

>>7983859
I'd say it cost only 2.85 (CAD) A bottle. For the fact it's locally produced, For the fact it has a good Maple after taste. For the fact it's a bottle and not a can. Yeah.

But it's only to try out. Might try the future flavors.

It tastes good

And most of the people who talk shit about soda guzzle iced tea and have shitty diets

Cause it's full of electrolytes

Soda pairs very well with food

>>7972191
Oh and, Also because Floaters are damn good (Cream soda/Ginger ale+ Icecream.)

I'm literally addicted to soda and I can't stop.
I absolutely have to have 1-2 sodas a day or I get withdrawals.

I got into a super bad habit of always drinking soda with meals. I tired to drink water instead but couldn't do it, turns out coffee/tea was the key and I'm already starting to notice weight loss.

>>7976427

I tried it once, maybe it was a bad batch, but it tasted like ground up flowers. I drink tea, quite a bit of it, but chamomile was just gross.

>Why drink soda?

What a stupid fuckin' question.

>>7972191
If it didn't taste good to begin with, nobody would have gotten hooked on it. It certainly wasn't the only option throughout life.
It does taste good. It's too sweet for me, most of them, but I like a few flavors

>>7985974
>tasted like ground up flowers
spoiler alert: that's what it is. i love the smell of camomile and the nice soothing effect it gives you. i like the taste too but i don't think it's anything special.

Do diet sodas affect insulin resistance at all? I'm getting conflicting information on le google

Because it tastes good.

I don't drink soda very often, but I really do love ginger ale or a good root beer float.

This/ It's never appetizing.
Your water ends up tasting like whatever you ate, which is disgusting and not refreshing at all. The only other option would be alcoholic beverages or milk. Both are potentially worse.

>>7987142
No, that's just a conspiracy theory. The same people who believe that diet soda causes insulin resistance or that "the sweeteners never leave your body cuz it doesn't know what it is!" also believe that the moon landing was faked and that 9/11 was an inside job.

>exercise and do physical activities
>drink soda and eat whatever you want
>be not fat

These guys drink lots of "the devils elixir" aka soda and manage to keep almost zero body fat.

tldr: Stop living on a gimped diet and exercise more.

>>7988627
That's horrible advice and we all know it. Countless studies say that the best way to keep off weight is reduction in eating, not increase in physical activity.

>>7988684
not that guy but link one of these studies that you refer to please.

>>7972191
Because it was supposed to be a desert but got normalized so much as part of a regular diet that it's almost like questioning people who eat bread with dinner

>>7988627
>manage to keep almost zero body fat.

Sure. They also do an insane amount of exercise. They do an absurd amount of physical activity even compared to other athletes.

>>7988684
This. The issue is that while exercise certainly does burn calories, it's always much easier to eat less than it is to burn off what you've eaten. Even a modest meal requires a large amount of high intensity exercise to burn off.

>>7988698
>it's always much easier to eat less than it is to burn off what you've eaten. Even a modest meal requires a large amount of high intensity exercise to burn off.


Okay then. Have fun living off a 500 calorie a day diet of rice cakes and water.

>>7988627
>tldr: Stop living on a gimped diet and exercise more.
This is a sentiment that I've been preaching for a long time here and I love you for saying that. But those cyclists in your image are merely endorsing a sponsor's product. they wouldn't have coke in the bottles.

>>7988698
>it's always much easier to eat less than it is to burn off what you've eaten
easy=lazy
I don't want to discredit the importance of a healthy diet plan but I firmly believe that exercise is the most important aspect of losing weight, and I say that because exercise, and living an active lifestyle, WILL effect your cravings and hunger and you WILL want to eat healthier food. It will make you look at food differently and you'll want to feed your body rather than your taste buds.

I know because that the effect it had on me.
Move your body. Get to know your body. Feed your body. Love your body.
I'm gonna write a fucking book!

>Okay then. Have fun living off a 500 calorie a day diet of rice cakes and water.

Why do idiots like yourself always take things to some kind of absurd illogical extreme?

Last time I was dieting I enjoyed steaks, ice cream, fried food, hamburgers, you name it. All I did was keep calories below 1500 a day.

>>7988735
i'd rather ride a bike than count calories.

Just look at how many calories various activities burn per hour, it's absolutely pathetic, it could take over an hour of intense running to burn off a single burger. Not to mention exercise makes you hungrier.

>>7988219
I drink carbonated water all the time my nigga, great taste and refreshing

I love the carbon. Burns so good.

for some reason i thought it would be a good idea to get up at 1am and eat a huge buritto and suck down 2 20 oz sundrops last nite, all the caffiene and sugar and beans gave me heartburn and i was up all nite tossin and turning and peeing and farting and didn't get any sleep whatsoever and i feel like doo doo now but i promise imma quit drinking soda after they discontinue crystal pepsi ok.

>>7989256

Yep. Better sit inside all day and eat rice cakes and drink water instead, seems much healthier.

It's extremely addictive. Try drinking soda every meal for a long time and then go back to water

>>7974015
> Is that worth getting into?
What in the flying fuck does that mean? Why are you people obsessed in doing things because others would tell you to? Drink it. If you like it, drink it in moderation. If you Dont, pat yourself on the back for disliking such a shit tier drink

>>7989518

While they're shilling coke by drinking it from a can they'd drink it from a bottle if they weren't able to drink from a can. I know for a fact that some cross country skiers have coke in some of the bottles they get during long races.

Nice can of cold coke does do wonders after you've been cycling for hours and struggling to keep going.

The only times I drink sodas is when cycling and right after it and it's always coke.

>>7985556
I drink about that much per day and I don't really have any problems. If I stopped, I'm sure I'd lose some weight but my teeth seem fine otherwise.

>>7989804
same here, I drink a 20 oz a day and I'm a healthy weight and my teeth are fine.

People drank more soda from the 70s to 90s, yet obesity rates were way lower back then

>>7989831
>People drank more soda from the 70s to 90s
I'm curious why that is.

>>7989836
Because the anti-soda crusade was not a thing, and bottled water was less common. I guess people thought paying for something you can get for nearly free at home is retarded.

I think Evian might have been one of the first bottled water companies and a running joke was that it was Naive spelled backwards.

>>7989836
It could have been way before the 70s actually

How would you describe the flavor of coke? It's so unique

>>7989887

Sweetness and chemicals.

Pretty nasty straight, it's a lot better with water or Rum.

>>7989894
lol I think it's delicious, I'm not a fan of rum and coke though. I prefer coke and whiskey.

Shit, learn about moderation. Can't believe the stories some people say about drinking a 12 pack of soda a day.

I drink either water, tea or beer.

Once you drop sweetened soft drinks, they just stop being good and feel like liquid sugar that leaves horrible, sticky taste in your mouth.
