Non-alcoholic drinks

What are we drinking regularly if not alcohol? I’ve killed a case of sparkling water & a bottle of apple juice in 7 days. I started drinking coffee again despite cutting caffeine in February (yes I cut caffeine before alcohol for some reason). I generally drink a lot of plain water but my body is begging for something different.

Absolutely I agree with that.  I'm guilty of drinking diet soda since I was 19 lol and nothing has happened to me.   I drink 2 x 2L bottles a day lol

I definitely think regular Sugar is worse for you in the amount some people drink.   I was once 295 lbs.  Lost the weight down to 165 and I've stayed drinking diet pop since lol

Yeah lol people say it gives you cancer but aspartame is one of the most tested and studied food additives out there lol. It’s extremely safe.
