View Full Version : I like to drink coke for breakfast

Especially on mornings where it is hot and humid I prefer to drink a nice cool can of coke rather than my usual cup of coffee. I get such strange looks in the morning from my fellow coworkers when I grab a can of coke rather than stand in line for a cup of joe.

I actually gave up drinking soda almost completely, except for when I eat things like pizza. Nothing like an icy coke with a slicehttp://www.aliensoup.com/ubb/smilies/supergrin.gif

I too will often drink coke in the morning. I don't like coffee so that isn't really an issue. I just don't see why coke or pop in general is generally scoffed at before lunch.

jourgenson>Most people at my job would call it an addiction. WTF!?! What difference does it make if you should drink it in the morning or at night? Right.

Whiskey in the morning --> Addiction
Soft Drink in the morning --> Not Addiction
I would say that cake is far less addictive than coffee due to a far smaller amount of caffeine.
Do you think that caffeine free Coke tastes the same? I think they are very similar and tend to buy caffeine free when I can find it.

I tried caffeine free once and didn't like it. It left a strange aftertaste.

Before I got pregnant, I'd drink diet coke in the morning. I don't particularly see anything wrong with it. Of course, I didn't grow up eating breakfast foods either, so I guess it sorta follows suit that I'd drink soda in the morning.

I MUST have (diet) Coke or Pepsi every morning, afternoon and with dinner. Thought about just having an IV hooked up to me. Just can't do that coffee thing. Cheers!
Mth: I hope your drinking alot of milk.

I think caffine free coke tastes pretty much the same.
I haven't had caffine since the week my gramma died. I got a BAD migraine then and so I stopped drinking that and eating chocolate. I was thinking that if I could give it up forever I'd start feeling better and better...more energy and all...nothing's changed, though. Maybe I just NEED my chocolate.

I'll drink coke in the morning. It's less caffeine than coffee so it doesn't upset my stomach, and it gives me that morning boost; especially cherry coke but either will do http://www.aliensoup.com/ubb/smilies/smile.gif

They still make cherry coke. I can never find it when I make my trip to the food store.
You should see me in the winter I usually have a hot cocoa w/ marshmallows accompanied by 8 packets of sugar. Whew! I be bouncin off the walls!

Thank God I'm not the only one that uses that much sugar. You should see me at restaurants when I have coffee..there's sugar (now) or equal packets (before pregnancy) scattered everywhere. I usually have to steal one of the sugar trays from another table.

Hi everyone,
Being new around here I'm not that keen on opening-up to you ...... but (takes a deep breath) my names Chris and I'm a Coke-a-holic.
I'll drink Coke morning, noon and night (and all those times in between.) I used to be a competitive swimmer training 10 times a week, so I'd get away with it. I stopped training about 12 months ago and have put on about 20 pounds since!!!
Could do with cutting down a bit, bit it's soooooo good http://www.aliensoup.com/ubb/smilies/hearts.gif http://www.aliensoup.com/ubb/smilies/hearts.gif

Chris, welcome to the Soup! Coke is good, but lately, it's been just that the after feeling of it is kind of yucky. So I drink it less and less.

mth, I am the same with coffee, use a ton of sugar and cream, but I love my coffee!
Couldn't do Coke for breakfast...but I gave up Coke completely except for weekends (too easy to consume an extra 1000 calories a day! switched to water)

About all I drink now is water. I have *maybe* a giner ale a day. If we go out, it's usually water..sometimes lemonade. And I get decaf on Sunday. ::sigh::

Sorry, WB, but you're just so darn satisfying http://www.aliensoup.com/ubb/smilies/wink.gif
Chris, try cutting down on how many you drink a day, or, if possible, switch over to diet. And welcome to the Soup http://www.aliensoup.com/ubb/smilies/smile.gif
