I don't drink Pepsi much anymore, in fact I have only drank one in the past month or so. I used to drink the cans that say it is made with real sugar. Don't know if that has high fructose corn syrup.

I’ve only ever tried Pepsi/Coke once before and didn’t like it at the time, and I don’t intend to start now. Really the only fizzy drink I liked was Fanta but even then I’ve gone off the stuff.
I drink a lot of tea (Yorkshire) and usually a fruit smoothie a day, occasionally I’ll have a cocoa.
As for alcoholic drinks I like cider mostly, Aspalls is especially nice. I also like some beers but not a lot else, though if I’m drunk I’ll have pretty much anything...

Sounds about right
But yeah carbonated stuff isn't good for you, especially Coca-Cola. Like look what that can do to money, if you put money into it it cleans all the stuff off it and it comes out shiny... and we're drinking that.
Oh and for the record, I drink a
LOT of tea

I wonder how much tea? Anyway I like putting different things in my tea to see how good it will taste.

Indeed. I'll just leave this note here on "the philosophy of drinking" since it was originally written in the smoking topic:
PluMGMK wrote:Basic axiom: Nobody likes the taste of drink! Therefore, the only thing that makes drinking bearable is the effect of the alcohol itself. I inquired about alcohol-free beer: apparently it's all about saving face, when being unable/unwilling to consume alcohol in a crowd of drinkers.
The same goes for nightclubs: you can't hear anyone because the music's so loud, you can't even see anyone because of the pulsing lights; it's
horrible! Thus the only way to enjoy nightclubs is drinking.
Voilà.

Great idea! Thank goodness I don't go to nightclubs, even though I'll miss all the nightlife!

I don't think there's anything wrong with having a few drinks but a lot of people at nightclubs won't stop there which is the reason I never really went to them. God knows what you'd be offered.

True, I don't party unless I have a reason to. And even still, I hardly would get drinks in a crowd.

OK so as a test I drank like 1.5 litres of Pepsi tonight and yes it does make me feel a little sick along with a lot of chocolate because I had too much of both really, but it definitely doesn't make me as bad as Coca-Cola. Suppose I'll see how I feel tomorrow after drinking it

My next test then will be Pepsi Max to see if it's the sugar that makes me sick.

I once brought a 2 liter of Pepsi with me on a camping trip and one of my friends told me I was "living on the edge."
I didn't drink it all at one time of course. That would truly be living on the edge.

I did that a few times when I was younger. Always got bloated afterwards, and wouldn't stop belching. (yeah i'll just call it that)

That's normal. I feel really sick too if I drink a carbonated drink too fast until I belch about 15 times

My favourite drinks:
Pepsi
Sometimes water, depending on how I feel. I Would like a Nice cold glass of it.
Iced tea
Lemonade
Definitely Lemonade. That's the main drink I like.
Sugar is obviously added But I Don't like the Lemonade to be a lot sweeter than it needs to be. I want a little Fresh water taste in there somewhere.

By the way it's confirmed Coca-Cola definitely makes me feel a lot sicker than Pepsi does.

I used to drink over 2 litres a day for a while but it takes it's toll on you eventually
