I still limit myself to 1-2 cups per day though. I think drinking a bunch of coffee probably isn't the best for your overall health, if only because of the caffine.
Neither is soda, at least as much of it as I drink a day...

Another thing diet soda is good for(as someone mentioned in this thread) is for calorie-free mixers.

I used to do that, but then I thought to myself "Oh, so what.... now all of this booze isn't bad for me, since I'm using diet soda?".

It's the alcoholics equivalent of saying "Hold the cherry on my sundae".

I'm fairly certain most liquors have a reasonable amount of calories.

According to this, most 80 proof liquors come in around 100 calories per shot. So most mixed drinks--even if they're made with calorie-free soda--still have plenty of calories.

When I think of beer, I know that it's made of only grain, hops, yeast, and water. None of those things are any worse for you than a slice of bread. So bottoms-up.

Well sure the liquor itself isn't calorie-free, just the mixers. If I'm going to be drinking and downing a lot of calories anyway, I'll save some with the mixer itself.

It tastes good?

I think I may have to go grab myself a Mountain Dew later.

I used to drink so much mountain dew that I referred to gas stations and super markets as "mountain dew stores".

Not I can't drink more than a sip or two. It doesn't taste good, it tastes like acid. Battery acid.

Anyway - I've read that coffee and wine cancel each other out and provide some random health benefits. I'd like to give up coffee but I am just not ready yet.

If you only drank water, wine, coffee, beer, and juice - for like 8 years - that acid in soda is hard to get over.
