WATER vs. SODA POP

[sgluckadoo]

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!

Soda

[biggetybo25]

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 

[acurtsinger2]

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.

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!!

i like flavor so soda

[bonga1s]

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.

[sweatytree]

Since I don't drink beer or wine, I like both coke and water...

[samiole32]

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!
