Sugary beverages like sodas and energy drinks are designed to be hyper-palatable, laden with extravagant amounts of sweeteners to stimulate pleasure centers in the brain.

    Drinking soda is like drinking alcohol… But it is socially acceptable to shit on people who consume only of the alcohol.

    Hmm

    I guess drinking and driving is bad PR

      Alcohol is incredibly worse, and it’s much less accepted to criticize it. This is inept.

          You’re not going to win this argument, sugar intake is inwardly destructive, while alcohol is inward and outward. The victims of alcohol are not just the people that consume it, whether it be from drinking and driving, spousal abuse, watching someone you love deteriorating their brain and liver, etc.

          This is not apples to apples at all.
