    I prefer Diet Coke (or any other Diet soda) so I can eat regular cake.

    I supposed you'd roll your eyes if I tell you I drink Diet Coke Floats. ;-) It's true. I prefer those to Root Beer Floats.

    Actually, if they are like me, normal coke drives my blood sugar too high, and then an hour or two afterwards it comes crashing down making me feel jittery, so I opt for diet everything...

    If you have 6 oz of rum, 3 oz of diet coke, and mix it with a purple straw then say "Baloopia" you automatically are a blue alpha male.

    I don't like regular coke.

    I dont like aspartame and i dont like drinks who claim to be healthy by using words like 'diet' in the title when they are no such thing.

    That's why when I drink, I drink wine. Problem is they list it on here at like a 5- 6oz serving. Chances are once I pop the cork, its not going back in, LOL. They need to list it as its proper serving size: one 750ml bottle!

    Has NO ONE mentioned Sailor Jerry? For shame!!!

    I sometimes like my Sailor Jerry with Cherry Coke Zero... Sailor Cherry ;)

    Anyone that doesn't like it doesn't have to drink it.


    :heart: ^^^THIS^^^
    I log my drinks proudly with diet it's a wise choice. I'll drink with the Captain, Sailor, or Admiral anytime as long as I have my diet Coke:)

    I drink Skinny Pirates (AKA: Captain Diets)...... I can't stand Regular Coke or any sugary soda for that matter. Why add the extra unwanted calories. Further more some people have to drink diet due to diabetes. Like many have said why do you care anyways?

    Have you tried Morgans Spiced? then you won't need vanilla coke, it has vanilla in it :)

    I have it with classic coke and its YUMMY!

    There are a lot of people from the UK on here and drinking is a much bigger part of their culture than it is in the states. Personally, I prefer red wine, even though white has fewer calories.

    you're really pretty too

    +1000 A nice shot of rum is fine, who needs soda of any kind. Soda is just for if you are drinking cheap rum that doesn't taste good, and why in heavans name would you waste your calories on cheap booze?

    LOL Well some people want to treat themselves once in awhile. Personally, I have never liked regular coke (too sugary) and I dont really even like diet coke the only timae i will hve diet coke is with hard liquor. Usually I have the natural Zevia pops made fromm stevia but once in awhile diet coke will not kill you. Everything in moderation!

    They don't want the added sugar from coke, yet they will take the added sugar from alcohol. Yeah, that sounds about right.

    You don't have the faintest clue about the distilling process, do you? See the 0 next to carbs? That means 0 sugar.

    Hi I just joined the site a couple days ago and looking for people to befriend. I am stunned that anybody actually bothered to make a Rum & Diet Coke and frankly i have a hard time believing it. You're kidding, right? If you use Diet Coke in your Rum & Cokes, maybe we shouldn't be friends. Finally I found a serving of Bacardi Light with Classic Coke and the recipe is like 6oz of Coke and a 1oz shot of rum. Are you serious? I don' t drink that often but when I do it's a special occasion and I'm not going to ruin a perfectly good celebration with a tiny little shot of rum in some Diet Coke. And then hurry up and come post it online. LOL!! This is so tragic to me. So if you are able to diet without going over the top with ridiculous things like that, PLEASE add me so I can post cute little snarky status updates about it, and get your feedback!! kThx .....
