I will take water please :)
-
Good choice lol
-
??? I shouldn't be alive.
-
:o You'd think coke would be illegal.
-
I've been trying to drink more water lately, I'm actually drinking a glass right now :) And I agree, you'd think that pop would be illegal!
-
It's straight up poison... sooooo much frickin suugar in Pop...
-

Soda Pop is too sweet IMO
-
water is so much better, and you wont get fat from drinking it.
-
ding ding ding ^ we have a winner
-
I will stick with water
-
I drink water and soda...but i reduced the amount of soda that I used to drink
-
As much as I know that water is good for you, I believe that I will stick with my Pepsi.
-
have to say pop
-
I hate to say this but I'm going with the soda. Yes, even after reading all of the horrible things. Of course I also smoke cigs. and eat junk food. Go figure. I hate water, unless it's in the ice cubes that keep my Coke cold!
-
I like soda, but I don't drink it very often... Water is almost always my choice. It's free, it's healthy, and it won't make you fat. Haha.
-
I use to drink a lot of soda pop, about six glasses a day when I was a teenager. After I got married and was expecting, I cut down to one can a day and then finally switched over to sweet tea. I know water is better for you but it's hard to drink it unless I'm very thirsty.
-
I drink mostly water and allot of it. If I do have a soda I drink coke zero. It doesn't have sugar in it at all.

If you want to try drinking water better try adding just a bit of lemon to it. If that doesn't do it for you try watering down your tea a little bit more every day.

water water water....they say alot of times if you are hungry you are dehydrated...try drinking water before you pick up that chocolate bar!!

I need to drink more water.
-
id say water..
i am avoiding soda pop :angel11:
-
I like soda, but I can't drink too much carbonated stuff or I'll feel really sick.
So, I prefer water! (:
-
About 4 years ago, I would have went with water only, but now it is more of a mix for me.
-
I recently gave up soda and I feel better. My tummy's flatter, I don't get headaches and I've lost some weight.
-
drink a little bit of both drink water mostly though.
-
Without question it would be water. I very, very rarely drink any carbonated beverages. Very rarely will I drink a root beer, which would be one of my carbonated weaknesses.
Now, if these companies were more willing to make these drinks with unrefined sugars, maybe I'd drink them a tad more, but then they'd complain they'd have to charge oh so much more. The refined sugars and high fructose corn syrups are evil I say. Evil!
-
I go through a case of water every couple of days. i do enjoy a soda every once in a while though.
-
Love it! Where is this from?
I have heard some of this before. You know what a good invention would be...some sort of portable gauge to measure your dehydration...that way you would know to drink more....
we could all get rich on this! ;D ;) :bs:

Soda
-
i can only drink caffeine free diet coke these days so i pretty much just stick to water. Soda just tastes so chemical filled to me now :confused1:
-
I drink enough soda to sink a luxury liner, it has made me slightly overweight but I just can't help it. It taste way better than water. :sad1:
-
I love water. I try to drink 64 ounces every day.
Good thing we have R.O. water (reverse osmosis) to filter our water as we have very hard water in this area. The unfiltered water tastes rather nasty.
I enjoyed the report on Coke....I didn't realize it was THAT bad.
-
WATER IS ALWAYS THE BEST WAY TO GO. SODA MAKES YOU MORE THIRSTY!!
-
:thumbsup:
-
i like flavor so soda
-
Give it up for water, woot woot. The great thing now is that flavored water is so easy to come by so if you're one of those people who avoid water because it's flavorless, try flavored Dasani or Aqafina...Even the crytal light mixes are great and it's still drinking more water than sugar. Definitely no acid in it like coke or pepsi.
-
I'll go with Water,because it's better for you. Soda doesn't quench my thirst it always leaves me wanting more and sometimes it too sweet.
-
Since I don't drink beer or wine, I like both coke and water...
-
It would be great to have everything but in reasonable quantities, You can drink a lot of water and a small amount of Soda will not hurt
-
Something else you should know is that pilots are not allowed to drink soda before flying. It is illegal for them to do so.However, you see kids and adults almost subsisting on these things.It affects brain activity.Go figure why all those kids seem to have some kind of disoeder and are out of control.
-
Water- all the way! Not only is it better for you, ice cold water is the thing that satisfies my thirst!

I just learned some thing new so I ran over to my washing machine to try the grease fighter Coke Had to take a swig first. Next time my car battery needs cleaning i'm going to try it.
Cool Info.
-
To be honest, I always get a soda. Not always because I want, just for the fact it so convenience. I am out and about most of the day and I am struck with notion water should be free. Althought -abit unhealthy- and -a tad expensive- compare it to the benefits of sodas to cigarettes. Then,I don't feel bad... and I can breathe easy too.
-
yeah and cigarettes aren't bad when compared to the negative aspects of taking arsenic... So Cigarettes arent so bad either :) You can always find somehting WORSE, it don't justify anything though.. .Or else its ok to be an alcoholic as long as your not a crackhead etc. :) It's kinda funny that your logic is basically "water? that should be free! I wont pay for that when I get get some complex poison for the same price! Its another example of how most of us all value cost savings and price more than health... That's why fast food will never die and people will! Most everyone is guilty of this I admit as most people do the same and drink soda, not just for value, but there is lots of enhancements/drugs in the soda that makes you feel good (high) and water don't have that..
-
I know how important water is because I am a nurse. I wasn't aware of all the things Coke Cola could do. The only one that I was aware of was the battery! I don't like drinking Coke. I'm more about Pepsi but I don't drink soda too often.
-
:angel12:woooow grest info ....water it is ....thanks! u saved me from many disease
-
I can't drink water, the taste or lack of it, idk what it is, literally makes me sick.
-
While trying to lose weight I a big fan of water especially the flavored water.
-
water all day , Now not just coke this counts for all sodas correct? ouch lol , no wonder i stopped drink soda back in 9th grade
-
I like coke but I rarely drink it.
-
i drink a lot of water, have a huge glass of water next me as i type, but i do like soda. i'll drink a can here and there, usually i go for water. to me, drinking a soda just makes me more thirsty, but water quenches that thirst.
as for the things that coke can do... about 7 years ago i was working as a waitress at this small family-owned restaurant. one day the owner's wife commented on how much soda the waitresse drank and told us how unhealthy it was for our bodies. most of the girls just shrugged and laughed it off but i was interested in what she had to say. she took me and one of the other girls into the walk-in and pulled out a big hunk of meat, if memory serves it was liver, and put it into a shallow dish. then she poured some coke into the dish, about halfway up the side of the meat. she covered it with plastic wrap and and stuck it back in the walk-in. she told us to check on it in 2 days. 2 days later, we went in there and lifted that piece of meat and the underside was almost completely gone. the meat had literally dissolved in the coke. now i know there's always a chance that she went back in there and did something to it, just to put a scare into us girls to get us to drink less soda but either way i have cut down on my soda intake... considerably!
-
Water is good for you but soda is okay in moderation.
-
WOW I had no idea... I dont drink coke very often anyways, but I will definatley think twice before I pop the top on a coke. I'll take water, please.
-
actaully i have been pretty with the pop intake of late. I have really cut down the amount i drink. before i probably drank on average 1 can of pop every 2 days now i drink a bottle of pop maybe once every 2 or 3 weeks. I am also trying so very hard to increase my water in take. I guess for my weight i really need more like 20 glasses of water a day
-
Interesting. . . might have to try a few of these.
-
wow i been drinking 3-4 cans of coke a week and since i saw this i think im going to stick with water or juice
-
wow thats crazy
-
I know water is better for you. I'm trying to drink more of it. I still drink my soda pop though. I haven't learned to live without it yet. :wave:
-
soda is no good ,water better.
-
I know soda is not good for you, but I still drink a few a week. I have really cut back and I drink more water, tea and juice.
