As a kid i just drained coke bottles there was no thinking .. it was 'neat' and my body could take a sadly impressive amount of L per day (5 maybe).

Your logic is sensible adult talk ..

ps: my body crashed I'm now borderline allergic to processed foods and sodas, it's still strange to me :)

Thanks for sharing. From your and noah_buddy's comments, it looks like it was a treat from childhood that stuck.

My parents forbade me from soda growing up, but my cousin once snuck me some sugary orange pop once (I didn't like the fizz when I first tried it, but I liked it more when I tried it again). I still have a preference for it sometimes due to the memories (along with root beer, which I also tried when younger) if it's free, though just a small cup. I never tried Coca-Cola or Pepsi until an abnormally older age, so that's probably why these two never stuck for me.
