    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.
