Coke Addiction

also is very boring to need to answer every 4/5 posts with "nobody said that"
if you can't understand the simple sentences you reply to, what would you understand from a book?

If your stomach is filled with coke for several hours a day it still won't do the damage shown to the meat. If anything you'll get a bit of acid reflux, but your stomach has perfectly adequate defences to deal with cola. Your stomach can deal with liquids much quicker than food, so even acid reflux would be a rare occurance. Your stomach lining has to deal with incredibly strong acid and protein destroying enzymes on a continual basis, why would some mildly acidic/corrosive coke do any more damage? It's the caffiene and sugar that do the damage, but not direct damage to the digestive system which you keep implying the corrosive property of coke seems to do.

The human body is surprisingly complicated and well adapted to dealing with all sorts of different foods. It's almost like we evolved to live in a wide variety of habitats and diets, isn't it?

Oh, that's right, we did.

Cola's fine in moderation, as are most things. I'm loving the hypocrasy of a thread where smokers and Class A takers are on their high horse about Coca Cola being bad for you! Get some perspective!

and you if continue like that it proves you're wearing your head just to keep rain out of your throat, nobody said that's any chemistry or biology, it was a simple practical experiment from which you understand some things if you have the ability, like if the coke does that to the meat in a couple of days, you can assume to a lesser degree something similar would happen to my stomach if it's filled with coke several hours a day, more days in a row

while you're guessing absorption percentages and shit, an earlier post shows pretty accurately what happens

boring terribilist kids posing in mature thinking people rarely works, keep it real guys

I dun like coke

Alien Pimp, you're the taxi driver.
"I'm not interested in facts, I find they tend to cloud my judgement"
Coke is bad for you, yes, just like everything, but

like if the coke does that to the meat in a couple of days, you can assume to a lesser degree something similar would happen to my stomach if it's filled with coke several hours a day, more days in a row

I've argued this point a few times yet you stick to your guns despite the fact it's just not true, then you start getting childish about it. I'm honestly not sure what you're trying to get at anymore.

[alien pimp]

you didn't argue with me man, you argued with things nobody said but you, as showed above

[noesis]

I'm a bit hungover today, and I will say a bit of Coke seems to help settle my stomach when I'm hungover.

[hurlingdervish]

i knew a girl in 9th grade who got an ulcer by drinking a 2 liter of coke every day

for fucks sake drink some black coffee if you want caffeine....

caffeine addiction is real but its not hard to beat...just don't drink it for a couple of days, then you'll be too tired to get more or make more....soon you aren't addicted anymore! bing bang boom.

Not cocaine, but Coca Cola/Pepsi addiction.

I find that during the day, i drink 1 or 2 cans or small bottles. and then when i get home, i go via the shop and buy a 2 litre bottle and kill it before i go to bed. Sometimes i even drink 2 2litre bottles.

Now, if i cant afford to get the bottle(s) of coke in the evening or the shop closed, i get really, REALLY moody. Ive even settled for "own brand" cola as a last resort if i havent been able to afford Coca Cola/Pepsi.

Do i have issues?

Yes

mate you'll be lucky if your not diabetic in the next few years.

2l a day standard!

Interesting breakdown of events. I've never felt any such particular effects from drinking coke, and I would not classify myself as someone who drinks coke particularly often and so would definitely notice any such occurrences. It certainly has never done anything to make me feel more awake or increased my need to pee above normal requirements.

possibly, it all depends, obviously
and nobody there says about "increasing the need to pee above normal requirements" exactly because it's hard to define such things, they said you'll pee it in about 1h for sure. can you bet you don't?

Well if I drank a litre of coke, I'd certainly expect to pee in about an hour. If I drank a litre of anything, I'd expect to pee in an hour. So their conjecture is not any more conclusive.

nobody said 1l, a dose has 0,33 usually and the fact that you pee it is no focal argument in the conjecture

It didn't have to be 1L. The 1L was just a number to use for comparative purposes. I could've said 0.33L, 0.5L or 2L. The point I'm questioning is whether there is any proof that, given the same initial conditions (ie amount of water already in the body, body weight, degree of physical activity before, during and after drinking) drinking a given quantity of coke would cause someone to pee more than if they'd drunk the same quantity of a different liquid (most preferably water in order to have the best baseline for comparison).

This peeing thing *is* the conjecture, the set of points (ie conjectures) makes up the theory. I was questioning the validity of this particular conjecture, not the theory as a whole. However, any theory is only as strong as the sum of its conjectures. Weak conjectures throw otherwise sound theories into question. And prior to accepting any theories, their conjectures should be examined. Just because someone says something is true isn't a good reason to believe it's true.

the answer is: you can hold many things but you can't hold coke some people say

[nousd]

apart from the beverage being crap etc,
the company is creating a monopoly by buying up water supplies here & elsewhere
read the labels

[mondays child]

Yes, the foreign policy of Coke PLC is dubious to say the least.

I would stay away from google.

when i got to madrid i was looking for the local beverages, but 8/10 had a small coke logo in a corner of the label
they're basically buying everything they can

now that 86 underlined that quote:
the measure argument works for anything, from rat poison to chocolate, so it brings nothing
hypocrite is someone says things he doesn't believe in, sort of a liar. who said coke is bad while actually thinking it's good?
plus coke abuse is worse than abusing class a shit (who the fuck believes that classifications today) one reason being coke damages health on long term and without being obvious, when you realize you're diabetic or have ulcers it's already too late, at least after an o.d. of class a if you survive you've learned your lesson and you'll be safe. with coke when you learned your lesson you're fucked
there's a significant dose of relativity in the shit i said, but sometimes edges are blurry when you get a large perspective

as i read on some site: they took cocaine out of coke because it was redundant

I love how you redefine concepts to suit your argument, AP; you'd make a great politician if you could work out what you believed in.

The hypocrisy is obvious. People who are perfectly happy to introduce substances that are scientifically known to be harmful in certain ways (smoking tobacco/weed, taking alcohol, ecstasy etc) criticising others for consuming a drink that is thought to be a little bit bad for you.

It's all about perspective. If you cared about health rather than just winning a kids-at-college argument about Coca Cola being an evil corporation maaan then you'd make far more changes than just giving up a soft drink. All you care about is people thinking that you're better informed than them.

Which you're not. You just believe more things that you read.

Pfft, you just don't see how BRILLIANT he is because you are a DRONE!!!!111111

Git on his level.
