As someone who drinks between 8 and 16 liters of soda a day, it’s not that dangerous. You just urinate a lot more than normal people.

You realise there are some grave differences between water and soda, right? Also, damn dude, I seriously hope you are an American who just cannot convert ounces to liters properly.

Nope, I drink between 4 and 8 two liter sodas a day. Interspersed with other drinks, like if I go out to eat.

I strongly believe you are an outlier. Like the Mick Jagger of soda drinking. This cannot be healthy. Then again, you said nothing about your weight or other health issues, and you shouldn’t feel like you need to, thats quite private info…

8 to 16 litres a day?

How? And why?

I’m a diabetic and got into a habit of drinking a lot before I was diagnosed. Then I got put on a medication that works by shunting sugar into my urine, which increases my frequency of urination and therefore my thirst. I also have hyperhydrosis, which makes me sweat way more than normal, so I need to replace the liquids more than normal, and the medication I’m on for it has a side effect of further increasing how much I drink.

All combined, I drink way more than normal people. A strange side effect is that, since I produce so much more urine than a normal person, my bladder has stretched to much larger than normal. Most people have a maximum capacity of 1000mL in their bladder, i have closer to 2000mL.

Well, this emphasizes even more that you are a special case and you should not generalise that drinking that much soda is ok.

But why soda? Even more if you are under a medication that diverts sugars directly to urine, being a diabetic. Can I risk it is out of habit or for the taste?

Wouldn’t reducing the sugar intake cut the need for that medication, by simply drinking plain water, and have a mineral supplement to cover the eventual excessive loss due to higher urination/sudation?
