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'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.
