I drank a yard of margarita and wandered onto the Vegas strip at noon during my honeymoon.

I proceeded to sleep away the heat exhaustion I immediately contracted.

I also drank a lot of soda in Vegas.

Soda is fine in moderation, maybe.

Slice of life: I'm on Day 4 of quitting soda cold turkey and I already feel so much healthier, but I'm constantly craving a Diet Coke. And it doesn't help that my family keeps like six 2-liters of the stuff in the house at all times. I've already reached into the fridge and started unscrewing the cap before realizing what I was doing.

When people say junk food is addictive they aren't joking.

The first trailer I saw for Lucy made it look like an awesome body horror film, and then midway into the trailer it was like "SHE CAN USE MORE THAN TEN PERCENT OF HER BRAIN!!!!". I instantly lost interest.

Maybe she'll be like Fortune from MGS2 and she'll have these powers that can be deactivated at any moment and near the end of the movie she becomes totally powerless when a switch gets flipped.

Snopes, but:

quote:

Regular coffee and tea drinkers become accustomed to caffeine and lose little, if any, fluid. In a study published in the October issue of the Journal of the American College of Nutrition, researchers at the Center for Human Nutrition in Omaha measured how different combinations of water, coffee and caffeinated sodas affected the hydration status of 18 healthy adults who drink caffeinated beverages routinely.

"We found no significant differences at all," says nutritionist Ann Grandjean, the study's lead author. "The purpose of the study was to find out if caffeine is dehydrating in healthy people who are drinking normal amounts of it. It is not."

The same goes for tea, juice, milk and caffeinated sodas: One glass provides about the same amount of hydrating fluid as a glass of water. The only common drinks that produce a net loss of fluids are those containing alcohol — and usually it takes more than one of those to cause noticeable dehydration, doctors say.

Well caffeine is a diuretic so in the long term you will probably need to just drink something that is more water based so that you're not pissing neon. But no, it's not like you immediately become parched following a Dr. Pepper.

e: Yeah, what that guy said pretty much. More highly concentrated urine is basically the only thing and soda is baby food in that department compared to coffee or alcohol.

Well either way, if it's really hot I prefer to drink water. I don't drink very much soda anymore in general and what little I do has no caffeine. I used to drink about 3 cans of Coke a day for years and then one day I just couldn't stand the taste of it anymore and I stopped. It loving ruined my teeth though, they're not rotted or anything, but they're permanently stained. Basically, gently caress soda.

My anatomy professor was this adorable little old octogenarian and man he was just the best. I'll never forget when we were doing the excretory system and he talked about how coffee and alcohol could lead to highly concentrated urine which could evolve into kidney stones. Dude always had a giant coffee in his hand during lecture and inevitably someone playfully called him out on it. He creeps over to his bag and pulls out this giant Nalgene bottle of water and announces, "DILUTION IS THE SOLUTION!"

I thought it was just a funny moment but then when I TAed for him the next year the exact same thing happened and I realized he's probably been setting that joke up every year for 50 years.

So this has just been like an entire day when gen chat has been having dumb arguments about how their personal taste is somehow the correct taste to have even though, especially when it comes to food and drink, that's something that just plain varies from person to person without much that person can do about it, right?

My friend's wedding DJ was a total dick about not playing certain songs but at least listened when his wife said she'd cut his balls off if he played The Electric Slide or Chicken Dance.

Oh and congrats/condolences on being married.

Gotta pay extra to keep them from playing poo poo. A friend once told me that his family members take turns paying off the DJ to not play Angie by the Rolling Stones at family weddings. It's loving extortion.
