I have very bad stomachache with a lot of gas after I drink root beer. Anyone else has this same problem? Drinking Coke or other gassy drink will lead to milder gas symptom but root beer is very bad for me.

My MIL too.

That's why I try not to let her drink root beer.

If not I have to wear this.

Trump had Covid and he survived because he drinks sugary soft drinks.

It saved his life. He even has a button on his desk.

Just press and a cold refreshing life saver comes to him.

Who say bad?

My kids told me one.

This old man is so healthy and smart because he drinks 6 cokes everyday.

You want to be smart, rich and live a long life?

You know what to drink.

Full disclosure: He own 6% of the shares

because he knows how good the product is lah.

No good he won't touch the shares right?

I am like you, simply can't do with Coke Zero. My fridge is well stocked up on it. Once you open it, all you see is Coke Zero. Trying to make myself drink it lesser and even stop drinking it.

actually the different is changing from sugar to Artificial sweeteners only. its almost just as bad. last time i buy alot also, force myself to stop...

I also think its as equally bad and harmful. Thats why I am telling myself I gotta stop. Same as smoking.

My mother got diabetes so for me I dun dare take the sugary version... always drink diet if I can. But idk why the softdrink makers make their diet versions so hard to find

I love diet a&w root beer, cherry coke zero (impossible to find in Sg), sprite zero... 

Dr Peppers taste exactly the same as cherry coke.

Yep

no Dr Pepper for me either 

A&W root beer has a certain creaminess slurp ..

What about Sarsi as a substitute? Have not drunk either for some time. I remember Sarsi was sweeter.

Sarsi is too sweet and gassy. Only for days that I really want something sweet. That is coming from a person who drinks a can of classic coke a day.

Diabetes not only comes from soft drinks intake but can also comes from high carbs foods hor. Even the person dont take any soft drinks but eat a lot carbs might also lead to diabetes de.

Used to be a coke lover too and drink very often. But somehow feel that body is affected and now cut alot for about 4 years now. Every 2 to 3 weeks will order a can and share with wife. I've stopped buying and put in fridge unless got visitors in the house. This will prevent unnecessary sugar intake.

But seems that diet a&w is in shortage world wide now. May be due to covid and they are controlling the supply. But personally, I can't take the diet or zero sugar ones. They are just like plain carbonated water which I absolutely hate.

Only canned drink in my home is Jia jia lower sugar version. At least i use it as a "cooling" drink.
Also I keep the pokka white crysanthemum tea PET bottle. Sometimes buy ice lemon tea to keep the missus happy.

So if want to drink soft drinks, is when i eat out.

Have to say with the recent weather, drinking a cold sweet drink is kinda heavenly.
