Yep, usually 1 can of diet coke a day2

Nope. I almost always drink water. On a rare occasion, I'll have a beer or another drink in a social setting, or a smoothie or lemonade if I'm out to eat and I'm feeling it from the heat.
But overall it's like 98% water.6 -
I drink diet ginger ale because I like it5

Diet is usually bad for you in a completely different way than what you are looking at nutritionally!! If drink soda might as well hot for a small one!! All things in moderation!!! Moonshine and ginger ale is my lil cheat!! Haha and I must have a Dr. Pepper now and again!! But daily I drink 13 cups of water and 3 cups of sweet tea!!!55

Yes, because I like it. To me, personally, water is in a whole other league. I don't consider it a "drink". Water is for thirst, other drinks are for "I feel like drinking something for pleasure".11

In what way is it bad?9 -
I don't. It doesn't agree with me and I don't like the taste.7

No, I don't. I stopped drinking diet sodas about 15 years ago, they didn't agree with me, and I don't like the taste anymore. I occasionally drink sugar free flavored club soda, but not too often. Water is my drink to go, plus two cups of coffee a day.
Once in awhile I will have a small glass of wine with dinner. However, alcohol doesn't agree with me either so I stick with water.3 -
So weird. I was actually thinking about a question like this when I stopped off for a diet coke on my walk home today.
I like the taste, need the caffeine, and maybe tmi but this stuff makes me wanna pee like 10 minutes after starting to drink one.0 -
No, I also just don't drink soda very often. I'll have a soda maybe once a month. I drink a ton of water - typically still, but sometimes bubbly (when I was living in Europe it was the other way around - typically bubbly sometimes still).0

I only drink Diet Coke when I’m having it mixed with rum. But I do typically have 1 sugar free Red Bull a day. Other than that it’s either water or unsweetened iced tea.0
-
Yup. Drinking a diet Dr pepper right now. I have a couple each week. I don't believe they negatively affect me in any way and I really like them.5
-
Yes I drink a diet caffine free pepsi each night as a treat5
-
Rarely. I prefer bubbly water or lemon water.0

Yep, Coke Zero one can most days. I've read all the negative reports, they are either easily explainable correlation, or overly dramatic fear mongering.
In addition to enjoying it, I find a diet soda is a great alternative when I'm snacky but not really hungry.26 -
Yes, I started drinking diet soda back when I started my weight loss phase, (before that I was drinking regular soda). Went on to lose 50lbs and improve all my health markers, while drinking 4-5 cans of diet soda a day.
Now I'm a few years into maintenance and I continue to drink 2-3 cans of diet soda a day, (I started drinking coffee last year so reduced my diet soda intake when that started, to keep my caffeine intake in check). Right now I'm loving Coca-Colas new Zero orange vanilla5 -

Same here! When I have a diet soda it's maybe once a week because I want something different and it's out of pleasure not thirst. If I'm thirsty I'll drink water.1 -

Yes, because it gives me a pleasing mouth feel without the calories.6

Yep i drink diet soda or Pepsi/coke zero. I'd go crazy drinking water or just tea and coffee alone. Maybe if i bad a juice squeeze for fresh juice?1
