Why do people act like coffee in the morning is such a sacred routine but soda in the morning [basically the same drink] is lowbrow and unhealthy?

like, it's caffeine and water and brown, who cares. i drink diet soda so it's no calories, no sugar. versus the stereotype starbucks order, why is soda so demonized
the whole sort of basically woo stuff about oh there's antioxidants there which give you a 3% lower risk of skin cancer after the age of 65 like come on that doesn't count
You're viewing a single thread.
- I am usually cold in the morning, and thus prefer a hot drink.
- Soda is carbonated, and too much carbonation can cause esophageal issues (I have actually had this from too many carbonated drinks, it's not just a fabricated boogeyman).
- Coffee with a modest amount of creamer (I do half a shot of coffeemate vanilla bean) is definitely healthier than soda, whether regular, diet, zero etc.
All that said, I will have a soda instead if we run out of either coffee or creamer. Vanilla Coke zero sugar is my go-to in that instance.

See, I only drink coffee in the morning during the fall/winter. I can't do it during the hot parts of the year.
