lordWilhelm Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Kudos on you, don't let her drink Coke. It's bad for her and she should know better. While we're on it, I hope you're not letting her watch TV. That's a recipe for dumbing herself down. And I hope she only listens to classical music, because anything else is so vulgar and uncultured. No computer games, or trashy novels, or anything that's a waste of time. She could be doing laps and dumbells at the gym in this time, and could be toning up! Oh, and I'm sure you've heard that white bread is just empty calories, it's on par with drinking Coke. I hope you put her on a brown bread regime because that's way better for her health. ... Dude, it's only a can of coke. WTF are you getting so worked up about. You can tell her what you think about it and then it's up to her.
RobM Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 First they took our smokes, Green wants to take our soda, Jersey wants to take our porn, the dems are trying to take all our money and soon obama will be taking our guns, where does it end?
TouchedByViolet Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 (edited) Sounds like you are over reacting just let her know it would be better for HER health if she drank less coke. This shouldn't be that big of a deal. She could be drinking rum and coke on the regular Edited March 25, 2010 by TouchedByViolet
samspade Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Seriously I find daily soda drinking, coke among that very anoying. My gf drinks a coke usualy atleast once a day. Seriously in my mind coke is one of the companies/foods I hate in life. I wish there was some way I could get my gf to stop drinking Coke. I hate coke!!! Seriously its almost as bad as smoking daily in my opinion. It's really no mystery why so many LSers are single and/or frustrated.
CLC2008 Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 I love Cherry Coke..Id rather take a year of my life off and eat and drink things i enjoy then live a little longer eating and drinkign things that taste like garbage but are healthy is my mindset.. Exactly....What difference is it going to make when we're 80?
MichelleZB Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Drinking soft drinks is so gross. If she's not already fat, she will be. Dump.
norajane Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 just let her know it would be better for HER health if she drank less coke.Why are so many people assuming she lives in a cave and has NO IDEA that soda is bad for her? What if, maybe, just maybe, the woman gets it but has decided she'll take the risk and drink her one can of soda a day anyway? How condescending of us to assume she's ignorant as well as a soda-drinker. Just like we all get it that we should be eating a healthy diet of green, leafy vegetables and vitamin and anti-oxidant packed fruits, along with lean proteins and the omega-3's found in fish (grilled, not fried!), limited desserts and sweets and no junkfood like chips and whatnot, and limiting alcohol intake if not cutting it out...and, we try, but whatever, we like our treats and life isn't worth living without them? And, just like we know that walking and bike riding is healthier and better for the environment than driving, but we still get in our cars and drive to work and the grocery store and wherever. Green, if you and your gf have totally different views on how to live life, then yeah, go ahead and dump her. But you're not going to find a whole lot of people who agree exactly with all of your views, or who will want to follow your every belief on how a person should live. If all you have to bitch about is her one can of soda a day, count your blessings instead of her corn syrup intake.
D-Lish Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Honestly Green, if drinking a coke is the worst habit she has... It shouldn't be that big of a deal!
BobSacamento Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Um, ironically, I actually work for a Coke franchise, how about that? Our company is said to be the most recognized brand in the world. Cool, isn't it? So your girl likes coke? How about getting her to do some ads for us, like Subway Jared? Gimme her number and I'll see if I can get her on some commercials. Filling a vending machine does not mean you "work for a franchise". Whatever the hell that even means.
SaintDragon Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Honestly Green, if drinking a coke is the worst habit she has... It shouldn't be that big of a deal! I know what he means..it's like my sister..she drinks cherry pepsis all the time then gets all worried about her weight..... makes me want to pull my hair out.. It's like "quit drinking that crap then":rolleyes:
BobSacamento Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 You should just be happy that someone puts up with your holier than thou attitude for more than 30 seconds.
Pfiend101 Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 I tried snorting coke once, the ice cubes wouldn't go up my nose.
MalachiX Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Will you guys stop being so hard on Green! He has an honest issue with his partner and is seeking advice. Why you gotta be a bunch of pro-soda Nazis. Green, there's nothing wrong with you wanting your girlfriend to conform to your health standards. We expect our partners to conform to our religion, lifestyle, TV-preferences, and much more. The idea that soda-drinking should be taboo is simply ludicrious. I understand that you don't want to break up with her but it's clear that action needs to be taken or this issue will continue to grow and fester like a cancer on your relationship. I suggest the following: The next time you find her drinking a coke, simply give her a light but firm slap across the face. Don't do it too hard but make sure she feels it. Then, pretend like nothing happened. If she asks you why you hit her, simply look confused and explain she must have imagined it. Continue this process every time you find her drinking a coke. Gradually, her subconcious will start to associate sodas with physical pain and she'll crave them less. If you havn't seen results within two weeks, it's time for phase two. Get a giant two liter coke bottle, ram it down her throat, and scream, "how do you like coke now?" Assuming she doesn't choke to death, this should seal the deal. Finally, if she relapses, you'll have to cut off a finger from the hand that held the coke. Yes, I know what you're thinking: "shouldn't I cut off the whole hand?" While I agree the whole hand is more traditional, I think it's clear that you love this girl and wouldn't want to do anything barbaric. The finger is also good since it will allow you another nine potential lessons if she doesn't get the point. I hope this helps and you're successful in teaching your GF the error of her ways.
JaneDoe35 Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Green - one coke a day???? I just can't see the problem....you can't exactly tell her not to drink her one coke a day. I am thinking you might be joking with us. Are you bored?
Crazy Magnet Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 I'd like a coke IV right now. I need the caffeine. But this is what I get for procrastinating.....ugh. I hope this is a joke post. lol
harmfulsweetz Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 MMM...coke. I really need my fix, but since I drank all of my fridge's contents of the stuff last night, I think it's time for a restock. Thanks for reminding me. I love the stuff. It's my daily pleasure, and I don't care what people think about that. To me, she isn't harming you, so I don't see the problem. You can say it's bad for her, (but I bet she knows and doesn't care) but that's it. You sound quite...controlling if I'm fair. My ex used to hate my coke habit too (the drink people, he was down with the other stuff, he was also my dealer ) everytime I bought one at the shop, he would go into half hour rants, and put it this way, it gets old pretty quick. And I wasn't about to kick my treat to the curb, why should I? Unless it harms him, I'm not doing it. No man will influence what I eat and drink. I'm not five years old, I can make my own conscious choices, and just because they didn't conform to his ideals, didn't mean they were bad. You can't request she stop drinking coke, because heck, it's her life. Everything is bad for you, if you believe everything you read/hear. It doesn't sound like she drinks it excessively, and so what if she did?

gypsy_nicky Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 I drink 2-3 liters of sugar free coke or any other sugar free softdrink everyday. I cant stand water or fruit juice.
counterman Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 I have a bit of soft drink once in a while when I really crave for it. It's mostly water now. There was a period though where I did have a can or more a day but after a little while I felt really sick. My cousin, on the other hand, needs his fix of soft drink daily. He knows the health risks but simply does not care. It goes hand-in-hand with fast food as well, which he use to have at ungodly hours. As for your girlfriend, if she knows what could happen from drinking coke everyday and still decides that she's going to drink everyday, then there's nothing you can do. In saying that, if I were in your situation, I wouldn't know what to do.
make me believe Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Ok I think everyone in this thread is overreacting. You never said you're going to break up with her over this. In fact you specifically said you WON'T break up with her -- just that it is a habit of hers that bothers you. I understand that. You care about her so you don't like to see her doing something that is harmful to her health. It's not like you're ripping the can out of her hand and screaming at her not to drink it! I feel a little bothered when I see my bf eat unhealthy things (although overall he eats v. healthfully), because I want him around for a long time so I don't like to see him doing things that could harm him! No, one can of coke a day isn't going to kill your gf, but it's certainly not going to HELP her.
sally4sara Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Considering the vast majority of food one can purchase at the stores in the US is loaded with corn in where ever they can figure out a way to put corn in it - trying to get someone to stop chugging a Coke or two a day is like asking them to empty a flooded boat with a spoon. You might as well task her with running an organic farm for her personal food consumption. It is the only way to remove her intake of what makes Coke so bad because it isn't found in only soda by far. It is in practically every food item you can buy. Are you sure you are not just looking for something to pick at her about?
RobM Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 My wife drinks Coke all the time, it only bothers me when she runs of then takes my Pepsi.
donnamaybe Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 You should just be happy that someone puts up with your holier than thou attitude for more than 30 seconds. Ya think?!
2sure Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 I only drink Pepsi or RC. I say kick her ass to the curb. Wow GT. You ARE my soulmate. You have no idea how hard it is for me to find RC, but I will not settle for anything less.
