    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.

      There is something inherently wrong with them. It’s liquefied nutrition that’s been designed to create an addiction and provide nothing but calories. It’s marketed as a companion to meals, or as sports drinks, or as a convenient “pick me up”. It’s marketed to children, to poor people without alternatives. They are inherently predatory and harmful to your health.
