And beer does have some food value. But food has no beer value.

And, I’d rather have a bottle in front of me than have a frontal lobotomy.

I like a whiskey and Mexican coke.

I have to hide those bottles because even the grandkids know it's better.
While your at it add a big scoop of blue bell ice cream in there.

The kiddos complain but they don't get the whiskey in theirs.

@LuckyDuck

Not sure why you're calling me out on this one but I've got a large hunk of Pork shoulder on the smoker tonight so reckon I can respond if I'm being called out.

I'm actually on @sirhrmechanic 's side here 100%. Here's a quick pic from The Duck's garage (zoom in for a special message).

WTF made anyone think all this artificial shit was better or safer than sugar?

You ever notice people 100 - 200 pounds or more overweight are usually guzzling diet sodas.

Shit don't work

It’s not the diet soda. It’s everything else. You can’t make up for a 5000 calorie diet and sedentary lifestyle with a Diet Coke, regardless of the impression that Cindy Crawford gave you. Artificial sweetener does exactly what it says. It sweetens without adding meaningfully to caloric intake, because the molecule is not broken down by the body. And, in terms of diet, artificial sweeteners (AS) are some of the most widely studied molecules around. Except for like one study where researchers fed mice something like 1/2 their body weight in AS on the daily, they’ve shown to have essentially no side effects.

Cane sugar is better than High Fructose Corn Syrup!

And Coke was intended as a treat/snack/pause that refreshes.

Not a 2 gallon a day habit.

So bring back cane sugar... And let Americans drink what the market bears.

As Kennedy said, "If you want your Coke and your Big Mac, you should stilll be able to get them." It's his job to help people understand the consequences of abusing the food available to them. (I paraphrase...)

This is how responsibility works.

But getting the 'food manufacturers' to remove dangerous shit from food is also a priority. And reminding people to look at the ingredients list. The very term 'Food Manufacturers' is disgusting... Food should be grown, raised, harvested, etc. Not manufactured. Manufactured stuff is not food. It's Soylent Green

Sirhr

Screw you buddy!!! It's a least a 5 gallon a day habit that only makes you teeth hurt a little bit!!

Moderation. Coke with real sugar tastes better than with HFCS. Neither is good for your health if you are drinking a two liter at a time.

For all the chemistry nerds in the thread.....
