Why do some people seem to get addicted to Diet Coke?
I admit there is just something about it that is more satisfying than other drinks. I have seen a good number of people however totally addicted to it drinking several liters a day, people from all walks of life needing to have one can every hour! And it is not just any soda they drink a lot of it is always DIET COKE. What is the deal?
Answers:
I think it is a combination of the caff, the fact that you can drink it endlessly, and the real trick: sodium. Each can contains 2% of your recommended daily sodium intake. This may just have the effect of boosting your thirst (particularly as the caff is busy pushing water out of your system)
Of course, I say this as a mostly reformed diet coke addict myself. Now where's my water dangit.
