On: Common side effects of not drinking

That's full of sugar - complete disaster.

There's diet versions of it available. Tesco in the UK sell a really nice one that is 1Kcal (one Cal) per 330 ML can.

Eh. I never drink soda, otherwise. I usually only drink water.

If this is your response to someone who you have literally zero reason to think is overweight, then you got issues.

Honestly, I've found so many good reasons not to drink sugary fizzy pop on my own account that I certainly don't like my kids to do it (although they get a pass occasionally).

My main concern with it as a substitute is that you get through it quickly and rack up the sugar levels in no time. Best bet as far as I'm concerned are 0.0% beers - a third of the calories and a fifth of the sugar - although I'll try to stick to two of those at max. They make me feel groggy despite having no alcohol in them.

Personally, I recommend switching to diet ale or sodas. Took me a while to get used to it but once you do, there's really never any reason to go back. And the sugar free stuff is really, for real, sugar free. No calories and no sugar, and you can definitely feel it.

My assumption was that b880h was saying it would be a complete disaster for themself. Not saying anything about who they were replying to at all.

And I avoid drinking sugary drinks all night because they’ll give me a headache.
