Seriously though: just imagine 313 million of these:
Being drunk every single day.
I drink at least one 500ml bottle a day, usually of Diet Coke (I'm addicted) but occasionally Pepsi Max (it's running a marketing campaign undercutting coke with a larger bottle)

Diet Coke is around £1.29/500ml at my local corner shop so I guess I spend around £40+/month depending on which format I buy it in. Crazy! So it's in my best interests to cut down (plus I know the amount I'm drinking can't be good for me) BUT I CAN'T DAMMIT! DAMN YOU COCA-COLA!!!!

Grateful? I'd go back in a time machine just to find out what the original coke was like. A chat with Leonardo would be nothing compared to that.

I imagine snorting several lines of cocaine folowed by several bags of sugar would have much the same effect!

Re: continuing proofs America is wacko
I'd imagine the caffeine is the culprit for Ally. It's the cause of coffee addiction which causes similar withdrawal symptoms. Fortunately, they subside after a day or two, so if you're serious about quitting you only have to tough it out for a day or two.

Re: continuing proofs America is wacko
"In the United States, a Stepan Company plant in Maywood, New Jersey has a license to legally import coca leaf. The company manufactures pure cocaine for medical use and also produces a cocaine-free extract of the coca leaf, which is used as a flavoring ingredient in Coca-Cola. ..... According to the Bolivian press, Coca-Cola legally imported 204 tons of coca leaf in 1996."
I'm guessing if you go to most of South America you'll get pretty close to the old-school recipe. (Easier than going back in time.) Or you can just buy the leaves and chew them.

Re: continuing proofs America is wacko
Oh, I chewed coca leaf in Peru. I've had kola nut in Africa. But bringing them together....that's the genius of it.
I only have a taste of coca cola about every couple of months, if I must drink this type of thing I typically go for the clear stuff, about once a week. It really is the worst offender in the American diet, and it must be stopped.
Hence the fascination. I'd go back to meet Al Capone too. Historical crime is just irresistible.

Ally, try a paracetemol or two for a few days to cope, and the headaches will disappear. Cut down on sugar too - helps with weight. Walk every day. Worked for me a whiles back. No headaches, full of vim and vigour. It works. (Sadly, I've fallen off the wagon). Coke and Pepsi are actually poisons.

Maybe I'll move on to Diet Coke Caffeine Free (slightly more expensive and only comes in larger bottles, which ofc has the massive downside of not being handbag friendly, which I guess is good/bad) then! Then slowly wean myself off that!
(((This is NEVER going to happen)))

ORWELL! ARE YOU SAYING I HAVE A WEIGHT PROBLEM?!
![Extremely Crabbit](/users/1813/32/54/71/smiles/2276801876.gif)
But no seriously, that wouldn't work for a few reasons a) I'm addicted to browsing the internet late at night b) I don't get enough sleep (see a) c) I'm an occasional migraine sufferer, so I'd be getting headaches anyway! And not drinking diet coke! You know?!

Switch to beer. It's healthier and will help with the sleep problem. Better yet, depending on your age and where you're located, it may even be illegal!

Re: continuing proofs America is wacko
Generally, I dislike beer, though there are a few sweet, light & fruity ones that I have tried and enjoyed. I generally only drink diet coke nowadays anyway; getting wasted on cheap ciders back in secondary school kinda made me realize I'm not a very nice person under the influence
