Whats up with people drinking diet soda in their mixed drinks?!
Answers: I think alcohol has waaaaay more calories than soda lol so you might as well go all out right? Does just taste better?
My reason is that when i drink rum (and i am using a mixer ) i like a good rum that has an actual rum taste (cruzan ).
I find the sweetness from the rum and then the sweetness from the pop is too much but putting diet soda in it lets you still taste the sweetness from the rum without it getting sickly.
i am sure there other reasons but that is mine
It's a mental thing, like buying diet soda and a bag of chocolate. They want to believe they cancel each other out.
They:
1. Don't know alcohol has calories.
2. Don't want the carbs from the soda.
3. Like the taste and don't care.
I asked this question once of one of my good customers who always got a rum and diet coke. I asked why. He said he never liked coke, he loved diet coke though. So it's not a saving calorie thing, it's just a taste preference.
Cuz you can get 'smashed' & still keep your waistline !
Some people are diabetic, Diet sodas have no sugar....
