My largest flaw in life is bad skin, so I'm doomed to drink only water, carbonated water or flavored water for the rest of my life.  I'm only allowed to drink soda when I go to a fast food place, which isn't very often, or when I go to a party or something.

CURSE YOU PEOPLE WITH YOUR PERFECT SKIN AND SODA-DRINKING ABILITIES!!!

I wish I was in the forest with a dragon right now.

Pop doesn't affect your skin. It's just sugar water. Heck, food doesn't affect your skin. Unless you rub the grease on your face or something.
That was a joke.

I'm probably the palest person on the FF. My skin is almost white. It's kind of scary, in a way.

No, I am the most pale, you probably couldn't tell who's whiter if you put me next to an albino person.

Doing the dew works better for caffine for me. But being really hyper is overated. Being cool isn't overated.

Chupps wrong.  Soda does affect your skin.  It's not directly because of the sugar or caffein although they can affect your body in many negative ways.  Most sodas contain phosphoric acid which has a pH of about 2.6 to 2.8.

Your body is 78% water with the cells containing 98% water.  Recent studies have shown that healthy people tend to have slightly alkaline body fluid while sick people tend to be more acidic.  Drinking soda makes your body more acidic.  This is a strong correlation (doesn't prove cause), but it's enough for me to be wary of drinking large amounts of acidic colas.

All acid if not bad for you.  Although orange juice is acid, it's net affect on your body is to make it more alkaline.  Also, a solution of about 2% salicylic acid used to clean your face can actually reduce the likelyhood of pimples.

I stopped drinking large amounts of soda and other caffeinated beverage when I had kidney stones.  That was the worst pain I have ever had.  Many people have compared kidney stones in men to child birth for women, but I don't and never will have that experience to compare.

When I became less worried about kidney stones I started drinking one or two sodas sodas a day and later noticed a weight gain that I attributed to the effect of their sugar.  So as a test I stoped drinking sodas altogether and lost 10 to 15 pounds in just a few weeks.  I haven't had a soda since, and haven't gained the weight back.

Congratulations, Luigison! Job well done.

And on another note, I'd like to declare that I dislike coffee, for more than one reason.

I have never had a cup of coffee in my life. Nothing stronger then Pepsi for me. Cuz if I get something stronger, look out. Which means I can only have very weak stuff. Me gots ADHD.

I love coffee, as long as there's enough sugar. But I get powerful headaches, among other things, when I have caffeine so I'd have to go for decaf.

GiftedGirl, did you know that caffeine can have a reverse effect on kids with ADHD? It's true; some stimulants act as depressants to ADHD sufferers. The drug Ritalin is really a stimulant, but they give it for ADHD because it gives the opposite effect, for some strange reason.
