I drink at least two of these each work day… sometimes more. When I was younger I’d do the same thing, but with regular Coke… then my metabolism caught up with me, and that habit stopped.
Why do I like it so much? Well, first off: it’s not coffee. I’m not a coffee drinker. I like the smell of coffee, but the taste just doesn’t do it for me. But I still need my caffeine, you see. Enter: Diet Coke.
Diet Mountain Dew is tasty, also.
What do you drink at work to get you through the day?

Decaf coffee almost until noon. Then water for the rest of the day. Occasionally I’ll have a Coke to help me power through the 3 p.m. slump.
I need my coffee first thing in the morning to jump-start my day! This is my only caffeine of the day. I couple this with my All Bran, Wheat Germ, sprinkling of sliced almonds and sliced strawberries. This keeps things … “moving” as it were!
By 3pm, I need an afternoon, post-lunch pick-me-up, which usually consists of a piece of fruit, a small handful of pistachios or a yogurt. Gotta keep it healthy!

I used to be so addicted to Diet Coke that I have a dark memory of drinking a half empty can of Coca Light (of unknown origin) in the height of a caffeine withdrawal frenzy mid-transatlantic-crossing onboard the Disney Magic, .
I love Diet Mt. Dew, now. I can’t do the ‘carmel coloring’ of the dark sodas, with these kidney’s o’ mine! I LOVE the DEW, but god help you if you have one too late in the day. There’ll be no sleep for you!
