If done in moderation, what is worse for you or does more damage to your body long term, sugary soft drinks or alcohol ? Drinking 3 or 4 beers, or a glass of bourbon a day vs. 3 or 4 mountain dews a day ? Seems some "studies" have shown some alcohol consumption has some slight health benefits, while nothing good comes from a 290 calorie/ 80 grams of sugar soft drink. The liver can, to a degree, heal itself over time , but the kidneys can not. What are your thoughts ?

Well this is coming from a guy who is currently drinking a glass of 7 Devils Idaho bourbon so take this with a grain of salt. I feel like CRAP after I drink a Mountain Dew or any pop for that matter. But I feel mighty good after a glass or sometimes two of good bourbon grin

A lot of us were raised with pop being a treat, not everyday, grocery day was huge. Now, pop is not pop, it's high fructose corn syrup and no real sugar. Stay away and sit in the woods.


I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

OP, I don't think I would call 4 beers a day "moderation". Of course if you spread those four beers over a few hours you won't experience intoxication, however, four beers a day will really put on the weight which can lead to problems.

Over all I'm pretty sure though that two beers a day is better for you than two sodas a day. Especially considering that almost all sodas are sweetened with high fructose corn syrup.

Diet soda is worse that two beers plus two sodas. That stuff is really terrible for you.

Just drink water and you won't have to worry about which one is worse. Kind of like the smoking vs vaping thread. Just breath in clean fresh air, drink water and keep eating good ole country eggs and you should live a long time. grin

Only water or skim milk here for me.
Soda will kill you, diet or regular.
I like a good low carb/calorie beer now and then....key is now and then.
Hard stuff will kill you too.

Pop is just sugar water. Diet is no better, your body responds to artificial sweeteners the same way it does to real sugar because it doesn't know any better. Nobody would shovel several spoonfuls of sugar into their mouth and think it's okay, but people chug pop all day for some reason. Alcohol can have some benefits, but most it's not exactly a health drink. If you have to pick between the two, alcohol wins hands down.

There is nothing at all wrong with sugar, unless you consume to much of it. The reason people crave sugar is because it is a very easy energy source.
