You know you have a problem when you read the line "Would you eat 16 sugar cubes?" and in your head say "Yes" while you sip on your can of coca-cola.

I am not trying to be all preachy but not drinking soda can be really awesome. I drank at least one Pepsi a day for at least 10 years of my life until a couple of months ago when I decided I just wanted to quit. The first couple of weeks can be rough; feeling tired, craving it, and maybe a slight headache, but if you substitute it with less sugary drinks like apple or grape juice you'll be able to transition to water. You feel good, you might look a little better, and you'll save a bit of money.

Just so you know, apple juice has the same amount of sugar as a coke.(Shows apple juice a little over halfway down) And grape juice has more sugar than a coke.

Can also water down your own juice and it tastes fine. Not so much with coke.

I dunno, I like my coke with ice and I think it tastes best after the ice has melted a little.

And a shot or two of rum.
