Since I've been drinking coca cola for about 4 years then switched to Pepsi for another 2 years and still drinking it I would want to know your opinions about this coke, pepsi, fanta and other fizzy drinks, as myself I'm trying to stop drinking this crap but it's so full of freaking addictiviness (not even a word) that I drink it nearly every day, post your opinions and statistics about coca cola maybe some of them will scare me that much that I wouldn't even think about it?

Keep drinking it. If you really wanted to quit, you'd manage it on willpower alone.

Agreed. I used to love Dr. Pepper, it was literally I would drink. A couple of years ago though I just decided to stop, never bought it again and instead now all I drink are flavoured waters, and I couldn't ever see myself changing back now.

Do you really need the industrial made flavour? And probably the colourant? They're not doing anything good to you.

This week, details of how Coca-Cola obtains the coca and how it is processed emerged from interviews with Government officials and scientists involved in drug research programs. They identified the Illinois-based Stepan Company as the importer and processor of the coca used in Coke. After Stepan officials acknowledged their ties to Coca-Cola, the soft drink giant confirmed those details of its operations. Coca-Cola's Comment

In a telephone interview from Coca-Cola's Atlanta headquarters, Randy Donaldson, a company spokesman, said, ''Ingredients from the coca leaf are used, but there is no cocaine in it and it is all tightly overseen by regulatory authorities.''

You know what's worse than cola for your teeth? Crisps.

Sugar on your teeth disipates within minutes. Potato Starch lingers on your teeth for hours, providing a lot more food for the acid-excreting bacteria that do the actual damage to your teeth.

Fact about Coca Cola: has different taste (sometimes the difference is subtle) in each country.

Ah that is true indeed, I've tried drinking it in Poland and it tasted different than in UK :D Also in UK they have the huge bottles, and in Eastern Europe they only have the middle sized bottles.

One thing I've noticed, in the UK at least, is that canned coke tastes different from large bottled coke which tastes different from draught coke.

Draught coke is my favorite.

I was in Mexico not too long ago and thought it tasted a bit different... turns out they use some kind of raw cane sugar in it instead of high fructose corn syrup. it actually tasted pretty good!

Seriously, thou you should quit. Just say you won't drink a coke anymore, because it's bad for you. And there's nothing good in it. If I could quit smoking, you can stop drinking that piss;)

I wouldn't consider it a drug. By the way, don't get me wrong, I dislike the taste of beer, whiskey, vodka and brandy. Which is, pretty much, what I've tried from the alcohol division.

There's no "I consider" this here. It's officially classified as a hard drug. A depressant. Also, if you don't see why it is and don't consider it a drug, you really need to think a little more deeply about the effect it has on people, how addicted they can become to it - including physically - and how much damage it causes on a day-to-day basis. Something like 90% of domestic violence cases include alcohol as a factor. Think of how many car crashes it causes.

It's a drug alright; one of the most widely abused and damaging / dangerous drugs there are.

I guess you're right. But, if I see someone drinking a beer, I wouldn't see it as a problem. However, if I see someone rolling a joint on the street, or stabbing himself with a needle, that would be a big problem in my eyes. It's probably because alcohol is legalized, but drugs aren't, and shouldn't be.

It was invented to be an alternative to alcohol. This was because of the heavy drinkers that came out of the Civil War.

To OP: I used to drink Coca-Cola or other similar beverages like Pepsi for a really long time 2 or 3 years ago. I never even liked it all that much, I was always thirsty afterwards, so it doesn't help against thirst. Then I decided to stop drinking it, and I stopped. I'm drinking pretty much just water nowadays.

I drink Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Fanta, Sprite and everything else but I don't drink them every day. You can always stop buying them and that's all. If you want something new try Dr. Pepper - it's Coca-Cola with cherry taste.

No benefits to your body. So I don't see why anyone would drink it. Never liked the taste either, some fresh juice on the other hand.. mmmm. Also if you drink loads of fizzy drinks but eat no calcium rich foods to the side, you can say good bye to your bones. Drinking stuff like this shouldn't be a daily habit, more of a weekend yum-day.

Or if you're a fat f*** who can't stay away from sweets, just make sure you drink/eat something rich with calcium from time to time.
