Soda in general is a sometimes drink. But most restaurants don't serve much else, aside from tea or lemonade (which they usually fill with so much sugar anyway that there's little difference) or alcohol (I don't drink, and I'm usually driving when we go out).

Oh yeah, I only drink *unsweet tea and water. I don't even do juice anymore. Stopped really drinking anything like soda over 10 years ago (I drank it on occasion as a kid). Once you stop drinking a lot of sugary things, you can't really go back, or at least I can't, because even a sip of some of the stuff people give you with it in it, tastes like it has a mountain of sugar, and I am pretty sure they do actually have a mountain of sugar. Something like Mountain Dew is literal syrup.

I rarely eat sweets either, honestly it's all probably not only been good for my teeth and health in general. I've never even had a cavity. Now, granted, I think I have digestion issues, so I stay away from a lot of foods in general. It's really when I am given something that I even try to eat some of it, and that's mostly out of me just trying not to be rude.

That's why I primarily drink diet / "Zero" sodas; I hate the syrupy sweetness of regular ones.

Of course aspartame is also not really good for you, but diet sodas are a relatively mild vice as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah, that's for sure, I've heard diet gives people cancer though.
