I could easily drink 3 or 4 12 oz. bottles a day in my teen years, mostly coke or mtn. dew. Didn't do my teeth any favors.

Most people gain weight when drinking diet coke. The first spike of obesity in the states was in the early seventies when corn syrup replaced sugar and the second in the 80's after the diet products were introduced. Aspartame; the artificial sweetener found in diet coke is pure poison. (link)
Maybe once a year I have a regular soda, on a super hot day when I'm on set.
