18. diet coke was my go to drink (instead of water) for years (along with coffee)

Dec 24

but a bleeding ulcer (surprise!) had me cut back drastically on the coke. now i don't really drink it at all.

truth be told: i did pour a 1 liter bottle of regular coke down the kitchen sink tonight when it started backing up for a couple seconds so i wouldn't have to use the draino. (neighbors upstairs dumping too much crap down the drain again and i'm on the first floor which gets the back-up. lucky me -- but at least i don't have to climb the stairs)
