I drink Mountain Dew.
With the right amount,I get good lights.With too much,I redlight.And with none at all,I'm dead late.
If I may, you are functioning under the influence of a caffeine drug. Probably not ideal, but your choice.
I drink it while it's still legal.I'm sure it will be banned at some point by the Democrats.

ChuckTI gave up soda/pop/Coke 5 years ago, and don't miss it a lick. I was a heavy user, too. Mountain Dew would be in the cooler on race days.
I drink water 90% of the time, regular tap water. Race days now, I fill an old gallon plastic water jug the day before, so a lot of the chlorine dissipates. When I'm out, water with lemon, an occasional iced tea or lemonade.
Personally, I think diet stuff is worse for you than regular. It messes with your brain, your taste buds, your guts.

69dartI mentioned to my heath coach that I have a diet mountain dew on occasion and she was straight up mortified. Normally she just says well thats fine - sometimes you can splurge but she straight up said diet soda is about the most horrible thing a human being can consume. She is from Canada and seems to have a much different take on food than most Americans. Its sad how unhealthy our country has become. Most of what I thought was healthy or heathyish growing up was flat wrong.
I still have mountain dew on occasion though.
None of the stores around here have much Gatorade or Powerade on the shelves lately.

HolytownI've never really drank soda, but I used La Croix carbonated flavored waters to stop drinking so much beer when working around the garage.
Seems like I just liked the cold carbonated beverage, rather than the alcohol. Its the same price as beer, so it won't save any money, but sure does feel a lot better the following day.

chasracerI was a very heavy Coke drinker but over the last two years I have slowed it down to one a week and believe me that was a hard habit to bust.
I still indulge in sweet tea some but mostly drink filtered water. Race days, I mix one water bottle with Pedialyte mix and take shots of that throughout the day along with additional water.

KWigGrowing up at my dad's service stations, (remember those ?) I would get a quarter out of the till and drink a coke or something out of the machine, constantly. I regret that. Our county water was bad tasting. That had an effect on my getting gout at 25, and probably kidney issues(stones)and now I might have 1 or 2 soft drinks, a week. Coffee, bottled water or Beer, for me nowadays.

BP758Im not supposed to drink dark fluids or eat dark green plants. Calcium Oxalate...big time stones. I tried Hint this weekend at Pomona. Water with a hint of flavor. Pretty good. Every once in a while I’ll do a sweet tea but thats it. Mostly water all day, no caffeine sodas or sugars. Yes it’s tough but I can’t do that stuff anymore. Makes a huge difference.
