A member asked:
My dad drinks 3- 4 cans of soda w caffeine. is that as bad as alcoholic beverages?

Not as bad: Excess consumption of anything is not good, but the bad effects of alcohol for the most part outweigh any side effects from caffeine. Three to for servings of caffeine a day are not likely to cause significant harm in an otherwise healthy person. Consult with your doctor for more specific information and recommendations based on your father's medical history.

No: Compare apples to apples: can of soda with caffeine like a cup of regular coffee. If not diet soda, then add 200-300+ liquid calories, which do not make you feel full, just add to daily intake and make you prone to obesity.
