Did Two Gallon a Day Coca-Cola Habit Contribute to Woman's Death?

Thank you, chawk and Bletch. I keep trying to tell her. No matter what time I got to bed, I brush my teeth. If I fall asleep, I brush them when I wake up for a potty break.

She's too young to get the looking older with no teeth thing yet. I drink only water unless I feel like brushing my teeth again after eating or drinking after bed time.

My parents had horrible oral hygiene and I'm trying to hold onto to mine as long as possible. My niece had weird teeth since she was little. She got two sets of the front four or eight teeth and had to get the extras removed. It was weird looking. Kids used to call her rat a tat in school. I know it sounds funny, but, that part wasn't her fault. She hated school.

Fortunately, she is getting her GED now. I think she dropped out of 7th grade. Her parents are separated. Her mother went up to fight with the teacher and kept her out.

Sometimes, we have to learn things for ourselves. Unfortunately, sometimes it's in a very hard way.

She also has been smoking for several years. I hate it!

[QUOTE=ices;2866956]Does anyone else here get serious belching after having coke/diet coke? I dont drink the stuff as it doesn't appal to me but when I did I just couldn't stop burping.QUOTE]

I'm a Diet Pepsi drinker myself, but, I like Diet Dr. Pepper, which is a Coke product. Come to think of it, the Dr. Pepper does give me one good burp right away :) I don't get a series of them though.

I used to work with an older guy who drank a sip or two of ginger ale to make him burp after lunch.

I don't drink soda, beer, or sports drinks.

Yeah, I'm boring.

And in her case she smoked 30.

All that soda to wash the taste out of her mouth.

One less parasite in the world to deal with.

On a side note: If she was willing to donate her 9836 MyCokeRewards points to me, that would've been great.

Not boring! We make choices for whatever our reasons. Good for you!

I don't drink beer or sports drinks. I may have what my friends call a, "girly drink", if I'm out, but, not to get wasted. I usually go to be entertained and remember who/what I saw and did. Besides, alcohol is just empty calories.

Do you seriously want some CokeRewards points, assuming they don't expire? My late brother used to collect them. He drank himself to death in 2010. There are still some here.

Write me privately, if interested.
