my mate Stacey drinks more than that
and coffee as well.

She is an odd one though, despite being the best cook I know she has to have ketchup with everything.

The only thing you'll get from Diet Coke is a little bloated due to all the carbon dioxide.
It's just flavoured water and is usually gone from your system within a day.

Really?
Diet coke is just fizzy water, sweetener and flavouring. Nothing particularly bad in that. Not as bad as the 2 litres of regular coke I drink a day :s

it's the aspartame in the sweetener that is the bad boy
i think. there are some horrors on the internet about aspartame poisoning.

it is on the internet. it must be true.

You can poisen yourself with anything if you have too much of it
But diabetics have to have sweetener all the time. The only thing it really does is maybe make your poo a bit softer/runnier. My brother's diabetic and has been drinking sugar free drinks by the bucket load for the past 11 years and he's fine

If you look up oxygen poisoning on the internet, you'll find that's a problem, too.
Please give up oxygen, ta.

Also, mind out for that di-hydrogen monoxide.

Here's a site that isn't wikipedia, or American
www.food.gov.uk/safereating/chemsafe/additivesbranch/sweeteners/55174

That should hopefully be a bit more helpful.

Amateur.
I used to drink pretty much 3 litres a day for the whole of sixth form and first year uni (if you count the fact my alcoholic beverage of choice was vodka and Diet Coke). I had to cut down because my caffeine intake was actually affected my ability to go to lectures.

i used to drink that much when i was at kings!
i bought about 10 x 2 litre bottles a week. then i got spoiled, i don't like it when they've been open for a bit. so now it's cans all the way!
