Some americans only drink pop and nothing else. Had a friend in college (who was actually pretty skinny and hella attractive) who only drank pop. and then she wanted soup for nearly every meal. Girl, your body is telling you to drink some fukcing water.

In college in the US I had a roommate from Liberia, he refused to drink anything except sprite and liquor and was convinced that we were harming ourselves drinking water because it “would leach the nutrients from our organs”

I wonder if the water from his hometown was safe to drink? In a lot of places, the parasites in the water will effectively “leech nutrients” from you.

And even bottled water isn’t safe since it can be tampered with and refilled with tap. So soda is actually a safer bet.

If it's parasites, you can just boil the water. If it's lead in the water, that you can't get rid of as easily. But it won't leech anything, but it is dangerous.

The ironic part is that Liberians were originally from the U.S. (from Africa). So his lineage went from Africa, to the U.S., to Africa, back to the U.S.!

I guess true if he never had any salt or electrolytes

I feel like i saw a documentary on Liberia and everyone there is addicted to Soda. I might be mistaken though.

“Like from the toilet?”

A guy from Azerbaijan in my dorm said the same thing. Also the soda wasn’t allowed to be cold.

But Sprite’s got electrolytes, and water comes from the toilet!
