Start drinking that shit so I don't live to 100. I don't have the guts to go that long!

I have a soda once in a very rare while, but it’s so sweet, it puts me off the stuff until the next time.

I implore my patients not to drink soda. Unfortunately, for so many of my disadvantaged patients, soda is cheaper, and more accessible than water.

I might possibly have one if I'm on a long driving trip. Otherwise beer, wine, vodka, gin, some water once in a while.
