2 liters..
Will take me a week to get through that.
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
I'm very proud of you for stopping, I know how strong sugar addiction can be. Good luck with your fight.
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’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
I worked at a UPS warehouse during a summer break in college no AC or water fountains every old guy had multiple two liters by them it was insane.
