Agreed. I wish I hadn't had so much when I was a kid. A radio station in our town gave away six packs of coke in trivial on-air contests - name the ninth word in the first news story - and I would win one about once a week. This was after I was 15 and had a drivers' license (NM), and I'd drive a huge Detroit rig down to the station to get it! It pains me to think of how naive and foolish I've been at many points in my life.
I got some good genes from my parents. My dad was a standout athlete. I did OK here and there in high school but I got colds/sore throats quite often. Many dental problems in my teen years as well. I'll never know how much healthier I might have been w/o the damn stuff but I suspect there would have been a difference.
I'll have a coke once or twice a year when someone brings coke and pizza around. It does go well with pizza, I'll admit.
