Coke Addict

Of the cola variety may I add. Lads seriously I think I'm addicted to d coke and its sooooooooooooooo bad 4 you. I never let my kids drink fizzy drinks but heres me sloshing back the cans in front of them while saying no you can't have any, shame:( . Is this all psychological do you think or is there anyone else out there in the same boat? What is in it that I have to have? Help:o

I love the stuff. Coke is actually very good for you in fact. It's full of vitiman C, hi in fiber and calcium.

Scraggs · 03-02-2006 02:21AM

i've been there and its a slippery slope... At one stage i was drinkin 2 litres a day! Willpower is what you need, cut down slowly limit yourself to a certain amount each day.
Good Luck!

You should wake up your kids immediately with one very big apology and two very large glasses of coke.
Such double standards I have never seen. Wexhun your a lovely lady but please please practice what you preach otherwise Pigheads making a call to the ISPCA.

I used to drink a lot of soft drinks, but I've cut back and I replaced them with water, but I do still drink the odd Coke

Those drinks never did me any good...

I used to bathe in the stuff, but I've stopped completely and drink water. Much healthier. Didn't fancy the diabetes later in life, or the rotting teeth/stomach.

Give it up and get into the habit of water, it's only a habit, seriously, and after you drink water for a week or two and taste coke, it's like liquified sugar.

Coke is the devil!!!!! :mad:
Dont even get me started on this crap, lets just say its very bad for you, its a legal drug tbh.

I've gone 8 days in the last 6 years without caffeine. Diet Coke and black coffee are my weapons of choice. Some of my friends tell me I should cut down... but when I *do* cut down I get headaches!
I usually drink 2 litres of Diet Coke a day.

Sigh

, why dont you just start smoking!

Uggh, Ive a friend who's only 22, his teeth are falling out of his head from that (nice)crap. He drinks about 1-2 liter bottles a day, know's he shouldnt but still do's.

I would suppose it's the caffine that's the addiction part, but fear not their's plenty of caffine alternatives that can do the job. Worth a try for the addict's among you.

rabbitinlights · 03-02-2006 03:18AM

I have a weak spot for coke, I normally have a nice cold pint with loads of ice most evenings, but I see this as a treat as I dont have it any other time and I dont smoke or drink tea/coffee. I normally drink robinsons orange and Pineapple instead.

in Mexico it has an almost holy quality - you give it as a gift to chieftains etc!

It is really nice - there must be something addictive in it...

Leave Coke alone, they produce a product Pighead is very fond of.
If little John "Fatboy" Smyth is so greedy that he drinks so much coke he cant see his willy anymore then quite frankly tough titty.

i think endurance man's psychic. he quoted fighting irish before he said diet coke ftw. (twilight zone music)

cournioni · 03-02-2006 09:49AM

I hate all fizzy drinks, unless they have alcohol mixed with them. Too much sugar, and they leave a horrible taste in your mouth.

Megatron · 03-02-2006 09:58AM

I used to drink about 3 - 5 ltrs a day of coke about 10 years ago.

Now it's down to barley 1 ltr. but yeah it can effect you badly alright

Kojak · 03-02-2006 10:00AM

I drink about 1/2 a litre of coke/fizzy drinks a day.

It used to be 2 or 3 litres when I was younger.

WexCan · 03-02-2006 10:08AM

2 500ml bottles a day when I'm on the ol' phones. And then more at home. Someone needs to lose weight but it's sooooo nice

mickymg2003 · 03-02-2006 10:15AM

I was Addicted to the Stuff a While Back And it is a hard habit to kick. Stop drinking cans, there nicer, Drink half flat bottles of it. you'll get sick of it eventually.

Oh and Pighead ISPCA = Irish Society for the preotection of cruelty to Animals
*Sorry im neurotic when it comes to things like that!!!No Offence!!

TerrorFirmer · 03-02-2006 10:28AM

I can't believe the amount people seem to drink on a regular basis as the norm.

I drink maybe a glass of coke once a week if even, and even then, I feel a bit guilty!

And whoever said it was healthy....lol

WexCan · 03-02-2006 10:51AM

I've tried to switch to water, so difficult.

Water just doesn't have the same kick in it, IMO.

red dave · 03-02-2006 11:04AM

i had a friend who i used to work with in a few bars in town and he was completely addicted to the stuff. the craziest thing was he could tell the difference in taste depending on the different SIZE bottles that the coke would come from as well as knowing if it came from a plastic or glass bottle, it was the funniest thing

Lump · 03-02-2006 11:15AM

I used to drink loads. Now I drink either Pepsi Max, or Volvic water. It's a pity though, I've got a taste for volvic water only. So don't drink tap water, or any other brand of bottled water, yes I can tell the difference!

As a hangover cure diet coke FTW fo' shizzle.

thelordofcheese · 03-02-2006 11:21AM

Used to drink about 2ltrs a day when i was on work placement a few years back.
I had to stop when after guzzling some i got a horrible burning sensation in my stomach that took a good twenty minutes to clear.

Mr Magnolia · 03-02-2006 11:28AM

Used to drink a couple of 500ml Diet-coke per day, thought it was getting a bit much though, if I'd one a week now that'd be the height of it.
