      There’s nothing inherently wrong with sugary drinks. It’s just how often you have them.

      Some people don’t like sugar free and sweeteners come with their own problems.

      then you’ll probably end up with a black market of sugary drinks, and people will go to great lengths to get it.

      It’s almost as if this happened before with something else

        It’s more nuanced than that. In the case of sugary drinks however, since they are really easy to make, you won’t even need a black market.

          I have no idea why, but I get horrible heartburn from Coke Zero and Pepsi Max. I don’t get that from almost nothing else.

      It’s people like you that we can’t have nice things. oh some Germans in Germany has started genociding Jews out of existence, so that must mean that all Germans are evil Nazis. you only consider moderation when their is a obvious utility. like oh you don’t need alcohol to survive, but because some people get addicted to alcohol. we must ban alcohol, so no one will get addicted ever again. we seriously need to learn moderation and nuance. we really need to collectively agree that I’m not your mom and neither is the government. Otherwise we will be asking ourselves, what is the point of enjoyment? People who are miserable breath just fine, and if you enjoy something too much you might get addicted.

      Yes, definitely.

      and alcohol, weed, meat, and fast food.
