Do you drink Diet Coke or other diet drinks?

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

Are you a fan?

There’s evidence to suggest consumption of sweeteners can Ironically actually increase the incidence of type 2 diabetes.
This was reported in the Harvard Health journal in January this year. They cited a previous study reported in a diabetic journal back in 2009. I’ll try and find the links.

I don't drink alcohol, so it's water, tea/coffee or Diet Coke/Pepsi Max.
Usually daily, sometimes twice a day. Has to be cans, I find plastic bottles have quite a horrid taste. I can't drink "normal" sugary fizzy drinks - somehow, they're too thick and syrupy.

I hate cola. Cola is vile, any brand of it.

I like a lot of other diet soft drinks though, it's only really Irn Bru that I prefer the full fat version of.

I drink at least two cans of Diet coke a day - I used to be a very heavy drinker and I find having other cold drinks on hand keeps me away from the booze! I love diet coke, I like its watery overly fizzy horribleness. Other people tell me it's nasty because it doesn't taste like full fat coke but I don't like full fat coke. But I do like very fizzy mineral water which it is more similar to.

Love a cold Pepsi max

I don't think I've had a can of regular coke for a couple of years now, after reading this thread I suddenly want one with lots of ice and a slice of lime!

2 cans a day. I crept up from 1. Occasionally 3. I know it's too many but i love it and can't stand tea or coffee.

I know it’s bad for me but I love nothing more than an ice cold can of Coke Zero. Glass bottle is also good.
I have a mini can each day.

I didn’t but then recently developed a habit and yuck I wish I hadn’t.
