Sugar, the other white powder...

Average American : 53 gallons of soft drinks per year, that's about 3.5L a day a week, nevermind. But still, is this only possible ?

What is crazier is this...I don't drink any soda (except in very rare situations). So, somewhere out there someone is chugging down my 3.5 L/day allowance.

I used to do it. Quite a bit more than that even. I could drink a 12pk of soda just sitting around the house, and even more than that when I was out. We didn't drink anything but soda. Not an ounce of water. Only soda.
If it moves, compile it

Bullshit, but the problem is finding products that don't have sugar in it. I've cut my sugar intake to nearly zero and fell a lot better. Am borderline type II diabetic so I needed/had to do this.

I did that when I increased my alcohol consumption without changing the amount of sugar.

It's a real problem with us older people. Thinking about getting one of those "Help I've fallen and I can't get up" devices but I would just forget where I put it. :)

My mother had one of those, on a lanyard round her neck. She would put it on when we got there, and take it off again when we left... :doh:

I drink a strict limit of 24 ounces of Coke( Cola kind for the trouble makers here) a day period, no tolerance for going outside my rules. so somebody is drinking the rest of my share as well.
Common sense is not a gift it's a curse. Those of us who have it have to deal with those that don't.... Be careful which toes you step on today, they might be connected to the foot that kicks your butt tomorrow. You can't scare me, I have children.
