Do you drink Diet Coke or other diet drinks?

[AbsentmindedWoman]

Sipping a cold diet coke and really enjoying it. I drink a couple per week.

Are you a fan?

[FredAndChips]

I love a cold tin of coke occasionally. Has to be full fat though, i have Crohns and i can't tolerate the sweeteners in diet juice

[bodgeitandscarper]

I enjoy the occasional can, try to limit it though as menopausal and don't want the phosphorous leaching calcium from my bones!

[lazylinguist]

No, I don't really drink fizzy drinks in general. I don't really like most of them and particularly hate the taste of diet/low sugar ones. The 'posher' ones like San Pellegrino are ok, but I'm still not that fussed tbh. I'd rather have water or a cup of tea!

[Legallybleachblonde]

Yes! I have one can of cold Diet Coke every lunchtime - I love it and look forward to it!

[omg35]

Love it! My favourite drink after Prosecco and sadly I can only have one can a day of the former now. Nothing better, esp if you don't drink tea and coffee and need the caffeine

[tiredanddangerous]

I have a can of Diet Coke most days.

[zigaziga]

No, I never drink any kind of fizzy drink or juice.

[Lucked]

I probably have a sugar free fizzy drink most days. Diet Coke is one of the few I don’t like it has to be Coke Zero.

[ShirleyPhallus]

I find it really weird when people say “a tin” of Diet Coke / fizzy drink

But Christ I love it. There is NOTHING better to quench your thirst than a fridge cold can of Diet Coke

Yes, I know it rots my insides and will melt my teeth etc etc

[MsWonderful]

No. I used to drink it a lot but went off it. It’s full of crap really isn’t it? I bet I’ve drank 1000s of litres of it though. I still occasionally have a diet Dr Pepper though

[thatplaceinjordan]

Hi my name is thatplaceinjordan and I have a Coke Zero habit

[RandomTree]

Yes but I'm trying to cut down. I've been wfh since lockdown and I find that I drink too much of it when I'm working at the kitchen table (ie right next to the fridge!).

[RiverCrossing]

Yes - I am careful about what I eat and refuse to drink calories but I have a terrible Diet Coke and energy drink habit. I know it’s bad, I’ve tried to cut down but the headaches put me off. I’ve had 3 cans of coke and a monster today - but also 3l of water.

[justanotherneighinparadise]

I don’t drink it but I had no idea about it leeching calcium from your bones!!!

[Cocolapew]

I drink 2 or 3 cans of Diet Coke a day, I'm trying to get it down to 1 a day

[Inextremis]

I used to drink Diet Coke with vodka in it. Now I've given up booze, it turns out I don't like Diet Coke much without it, so I've given that up too.

[AgeLikeWine]

Coke Zero is much nicer than Diet Coke, but neither are a patch on full-fat.

[SJaneS48]

Yes all the time but wish I didn’t as it’s really bad for you!

[reluctantbrit]

No, not anymore. I had a bad Coke Zero habit and broke it finally to a point that I actually don't like it very much anymore.

I drink it if I am desperate for caffein and it has to be cold or at a friend's house as none of my friends like sparkling water or is a pure juice drinker.

I find most diet drinks taste really artificial, the changes in San Pellegrion's lemonade are awful.

DD (13) likes it but I am careful with the amount and in general it is a drink she has when we are out for food, at a party or as a treat with pizza.

[WhatHaveIFound]

No, I don't drink fizzy drinks as they give me indigestion. I tend to just drink water, occasionally elderflower cordial.

[Wannabegreenfingers]

Not diet, absolutely vile. Artificial sweetners are the work of the devil....

[Elieza]

I used to be addicted to that stuff.
Then menopause hit. It seems more than a coincidence that that shit is bad for your skeleton and now suddenly I can no longer drink it. Diet or full fat.
Soooo gutted. Used to drink at least two cans a day. Now I only drink it if I want to shit myself thin it use up excess bog roll.

[Mum2jenny]

Only full fat coke as I do not like the artificial sweeteners, and only very occasionally

[EssentialHummus]

Love it, but only bottles and not cans. I drink far too much.

[AlternativePerspective]

Diet drinks contain aspartame which is a carcinogenic.

I used to drink a lot of full fat coke until I fell ill with a serious heart condition four years ago. Was told by my cardiologist to cut down to the bear minimum, used to occasionally drink it after that but haven’t had any now for over a year, and actually, I tried some this week and it tasted like pure sugar and nothing else....
