I kept 5 months only drinking water during the week, and soda just in the weekends. I got this habit, but I started to drink soda more often recently, which is a shame since I kept the 'non soda drinking' for 5 months

Ok, now answer me this. Why is it when you drink ALOT of soda your pee also turns clear?


The answer is simple. You have a lot of water (mixed with other things) going into your bladder very quickly. The downside to soda and sugary drinks is that sugar and caffeine accelerate the rate at which water is introduced into the bladder. Hence they dehydrate you since that water isn't staying in your system very long, nor is it going to places it needs to go (sweat glands, cells, etc.). That's why I said to quit drinking soda for at least 4 hours then see what your pee looks like. It should be much darker than when you were just drinking the soda.

The carbonation (C02) in soda also gets into your bloodstream, acting like Carbon Monoxide's little brother and makes you sluggish, since oxygen can't bond as well to hemoglobin. So yeah soda is really bad for active people, especially athletes.

I don't know if alcohol does the same thing but I know it does absorb water, effectively dehydrating you.

Both alcohol and caffeine are diuretics as well, increasing the rate at which you urinate, also dehydrating you.

Um... I've been drinking mainly water and juice for 4 years, and every once in awhile I'd have a soda. They all taste fine to me, but I'm used to it.

I know I should really cut down on soda, I have about 2 cans a day, one caffinated and one non. But the last time I drank a mountain dew was like 2 years ago. I don't care for MD obviously. Man this is a really interesting thread, I'll have to remember some of this stuff, lol.

I have noticed that I haven't been wanting to exercise lately and I've been more lazy over the past month. Maybe I should drink more water and juice instead!

Good, I hope that shit kills me before I end up in diapers. Killer soft drinks are what make North America great.
