    On the joking side I would say.
    Very rarely drink that much, normally less than a litre most days,
    Weight is about 12.5 stone.
    I have cause to look after myself, more than most, so I minimise risks for best part of the time.

    It’s only because Chippy is used to drinking on the top of mountains what with living in Consett and that.

    Used to drink ice cold Sprite or Tonic Water or Diet Coke a fair bit but just gave it up completely 6 months and switched to minimum 2 litres of water a day, often bottled.

    Feel a lot better for it although now worried about the amount of micro plastic I am ingesting.

    I don’t fill my swimming pool with bottled water - that would be just silly.

    When I was living in Peru they had Inca Cola. Yellow colour but tasted like bubble gum. Apparently its what the Incas used to drink.

    Mrs got me a nutribullet juice maker so am now making my own juices.

    Sure it would be prohibitively expensive in UK but fruits grown here are so cheap. Bought two kilos of bananas (12) at a street stall last night for £1. Told the woman I didnt want them too ripe and she said ‘Don’t worry I only picked them this morning’ They never say that in Tesco.

    I've got 6 cans of the stuff gathering dust in my cupboard, from when my sister-in-law stayed with us. How much will you offer me for them?

    Now I know they might have some value I might have to eBay them. Was going to pour them down the drain. Horrible stuff.

    I personally only drink full sugar drinks once a week on my cheat day

    I've drink anywhere from 0.5 - 1.5 litres on a cheat day, but only one day a week.

    As long as you're not drinking it too regularly it should be ok, but I can't help but worry for people who drink pop or energy drinks every day.

    I've been around 3 people now who have stomach ulcers because of the stuff and one guy who almost had a heart attack at 24 because of the caffeine in monsters/rockstars.

    The guy inhaled 4-5 a day and refused to eat breakfast.

    People need to start getting their energy from food not sugar/caffeine.

    She is there every night so obviously makes money from it. My wife actually tries to bargain the price down but I am not that heartless.

    You sell the bananas on to your wife and she has to haggle on the price with you!!!!

    <yikes>

    Have to say that does come across as heartless to me.

    Best thing about being on holiday is haggling with the local shops and trying to get a couple of euros off a bean towel!
