I'm pretty sure the Dew still has more caffeine.... but I personally like Pepsi Max and Vault which have about 70mg / 12 oz! woo!

See this nonsense: https://www.diet-blog.com/archives/20...iet_drinks.php
Diet Coke = 46.5mg/12oz
Coke = 34.5mg of caffeine/12oz
Mountain Dew = 55mg (In the US)/12oz
Redbull = 80mg/8oz
Coffee averages between 65-140mg for an 8oz drink

Edit: Check this out too... even slimfast has caffeine! https://wilstar.com/caffeine.htm

I personally don't like pabst that much. I'll tolerate miller high life, but I like most of the harp products, i.e. guiness etc. My favorite has to be Boulevard wheat ale.

i used to drink about a 12 pack of diet coke a day for quite a while...architecture school is a good place to develop bad habits. i haven't had one for about a year, but i was addicted to that stuff. now it is just black coffee - the stronger the better, kombucha, and cheap beer - preferably anything in a man can.

I am by no means a health nut, but i feel like we as a society have had this crap drizzled down our throats for too many years. I did not drink soda on a regular basis, but I find that if I do have a soda ( I have a certain affinity for Root Beer, ginger beer and Dr. Pepper) one day, then I find myself wanting another one for days after. Almost like some cruel addiction. The stuff is really terrible for you. Then again I guess it depends on who you are. I know this 70 year old lady who smokes a pack and a half of Newports everyday and has drank a six pack of Coke everyday for the past 40 years and she is still kickin, so who the hell knows..............

I can't stand the taste of Diet Coke.
If i need to drink a diet soda, i prefer Pepsi One. It uses Splenda instead of phenylalanine and doesn't leave a nasty aftertaste.

Yes. I haven't had soda in quite some time, but if I were to give in to temptation of any carbonated beverage, it'd be this one. I drank a few of these each day when I was in Juarez a couple years back, then returned the bottle. Good times.

I don't want to be the beer snob in the thread but I just got done brewing my own beer at a brewery thats basically all DIY, and the cost/beer is about the same as any domestic beer you get in the store, but tastes soooo much better and you get the satisfaction of making and bottling your own brew. Only downside (only if you don't ahve the room) is that its 15 gallons of beer in one shot.
