I suppose I'll have to give it up, but I hardly drink alcohol or smoke dope now and am trying to lose weight (hopeless), and Tab is honestly the most pleasurable thing in my life. (I'm not counting my kids, who don't fire my dopamine eceptors in QUITE the same way.)D.

At some point, TAB went away and diet coke was the drink of the day. We drank it in giant 32 ounce cups. It was breakfast and lunch during the particularly bad teen starving days. It was my coffee in my 20s... But I got pregnant and went cold turkey and really never went back. I still drink one here and there. I have a daily diet 7 up. But Diet Coke makes me think of the times in my life when I needed to "fix" myself. After having a baby... MAKING a PERSON... I started to see I didn't need to fix anything. Oh -- and there actually is evidence (a few studies) that people who drink Diet Coke tend to eat MORE.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
