      Halfway through I’d be tired of it and leave it alone for an indiscriminate amount of time. I have trouble finishing 1L bottles, what would I do about 2?

      At one point I drank four or more of those daily, as in 8+ liters of Coca Cola. Glad that’s behind me, but I’m still not entirely free of the sugary monster.

        It does become an addiction for sure. I thought it was a good thing to have work provide free soda, but I was up to around the same amount. Cut it out cold turkey

        You used to drink 8 liters of regular coke?

        8 liters of water per day already beggars belief. That’s going to the bathroom at least 16 times a day. You’d also need to take electrolyte supplements to avoid your nervous system shutting down.

        But 8 liters of coke per day? That’s 880 grams of pure sugar. And 3200 calories, which is 150% of daily intake for average person.

        If you consumed 880g of pure sugar daily, i think your liver would have failed after just a few weeks.

        I’m very proud of you for stopping, I know how strong sugar addiction can be. Good luck with your fight.

      I’ve seen guys who finish two or three off in an hour at work.

        Lived in the U.S my entire life and can’t fathom this. To consume 6 liters of carbonated beverage in an hour sounds impossible unless it were your soul focus as in a competition. Sounds painful
