Reply #37: So does coffee

[anigbrowl]

"Same with mildly ADD or ADHD people who are unmedicated or between meds; a 2 liter Coke over the period of a morning can help some of the symptoms."

I have non-mild ADD and don't take meds for it. I do look forward to a large cup of coffee each morning, though it's cold by the time I've finished it. But are you seriously suggesting drinking 2 litres of coke a day???! :puke: puke: :puke:

I did go through a period where I was drinking a lot of soda for the energy boost - working 12-16 hour days and happy to take the sugar because it was impractical to eat regularly. At least, I was happy until I got a big old cavity on one of my wisdom teeth and had to have it removed. It sits in front of me in a little jar now to remind me why I don't buy soda.

I'm not 'you must never drink it' or anything, I'm OK with having one occasionally and it can be a good way to rehydrate with an upset stomach. I don't think it's the devil's brew or anything...but 2 liters on a daily basis, YGTBFKM.
