Diabetics?
Diabetes is hereditary in my family so I drink diet coke in the hope I won't fall into a diabetic induced coma and never wake up.

Also regular coke stings my teeth (yes I have shit sensitive soft teeth) and coats them in fur which I don't appreciate.

Edit: I'm 10½ stone, frequently use free-weights and have a gym membership which I do use before you call me a fat undeserving waste of skin.

ditto!
My family has a history of diabetes and high blood pressure. It's just good sense to avoid drinking something which is basically fizzy sugar syrup with added additives.

Fentiman's ginger beer is better than any kind of cola anyway.

Now
that stuff IS good. G-G-Ginger Beer!
But not the crap stuff, it's got to sting your mouth a bit.

yup.
It's got to be fentimans, or really fiery stuff. And it has to be Ginger "Beer". Ginger Ale tastes like watery spunk.

I can't stand any of this fat bashing though,
I can only assume they were molested by a portly gentleman when they were younger because the anger displayed is of a much higher magnitude then the average person feels towards serial killers or rapists.

Some people are fat, by their own doing or not, who cares. They're still people and the world would be a boring bloody place if we were all muscle bound or weedy.

I do dislike it when people whinge that they can't lose weight and yet do nothing about it, but thats not hating fat people thats hating complacent idiots who moan about something they can change yet don't want to/find it too hard.

If anyone finds an exam hard to do, yet spends their time out drinking or just generally putting off revising, they are equally a cunt because they aren't helping themselves.

use a decent strong ginger beer instead of soda/lemonade stuff in a mojito for a "fiery mojito" - awesome. and loads better.

mmmmm ginger mmmmmm

Also goes very well in Pimms, instead of lemonade.
