OK, it varies with the season, but on average I probably drink the equivalent of at least 4 cans of diet soda (often more) each day and I have done so for many years. I always have some with me, from the moment I get up in the morning. I like coffee but I rarely drink it anymore. I never drink tea, iced or hot. I also drink zero calorie flavored/fortified water (Lifewater, Vitaminwater) from time to time, especially after workouts, when I can get it on sale. These are the only things I drink throughout the day. I don't care for sugared drinks because I don't need either the extra calories or the tooth decay. I have no health issues that would prevent me from consuming sugared drinks; I just don't care for them. On rare occasions in recent years I have had both cane sugared soda and HFC sweetened soda, and honestly, I cannot taste any difference between them. I take a medicine that gives me a very dry mouth, so I always have something to drink right at hand.
Caffeine has only a very mild effect on me. Most of the soda that I drink contains some caffeine, but it doesn't bother me and I have no trouble falling asleep each night and sleeping through the night.
I drink perhaps 3 or 4 bottles of beer, and a similar number of glasses of wine, over the course of a year. We buy beer when friends or family from out of town come to visit, and then finally get around to pouring out the remaining bottles several months later. My wife uses the leftover wine, and occasionally a little bit of the beer, in some of her recipes.
I am well past the age of 35, and I can prove it.
