I was a classic Coke junkie (the real stuff, not diet). Then I had an episode where we were on the road and I drank a Big Gulp on an empty stomach. Four hours left on the drive home and ulcers roared into action. That was the last time I had ANY coke. I switched to diet citrus-flavored sodas -- my current fave is Diet Mtn Dew Code Red. But I've backed way off on the amount and try to have no more than one per day. I heard that drinking sodas (regular OR diet) can lead to metabolic disorders including high cholesterol and increased risk of stroke. Can't even feel virtuous switching to diet drinks any more.
