CocaCola is, for one, far more accessible to people than cocaine, so that's one reason. Also given the great appreciation and the fact that it sure as fuck pumps money into the economy, it won't get banned. Also Cocacola is not that damaging and doesn't get you high. Fuck your medical journal.

Hey op, guess what i made out of all the soda I drank today [img]http://archives.starbulletin.com/2006/09/21/features/art1d.jpg[/img] It can't be bad for you if it gives you extra protection from bullets, can it?
Soda raped my sister and killed my dad.

Fuck soda, I just pour arsenic acid down my throat. If I feel that it needs some flavor, I mix it with some pure alcohol.

Lol, my grandma says soda-pop. What a douche.
[QUOTE=ElGrego;27379228]Lol, my grandma says soda-pop. What a douche.[/QUOTE] yeah your grandma is a douche for calling soda soda-pop seriously thats not good at all she should be in jail
You know what this is like? It's like the religion vs atheism argument. One side brings facts and has proof of pop being bad to drink on a day to day basis (I don't necessarily agree with the OP that you should never drink it, once in a while is okay, as long as you live healthily all the time (skinny =/= healthy)), the other basically says, "fuck you"

Anyway. :words:[/QUOTE] Most of what he's saying is valid, you're countering it with anecdotal evidence. The appropriate response is fuck my health, I'll drink what I want. Also, coffee is fucking nasty, so until amphetamines are legalized, this is the only mental stimulant I've got.
Drinks aren't even that bad for your teeth because they're only in contact with them for a second at a time. Foods like potato chips are worse because that shit sticks to your teeth.
I've had about 12 oz of soda since 2007. I didn't force myself to stop drink it or not drink it; I just do not do it.
