One more neat thing about being an independent adult and getting to live my own life.

I have known for a long time that I prefer almost all canned soda drinks watered down, at least 1/1 ratio and often more, one part soda to two parts water is often even better.

In fact this is not only soda but pretty much all carbonated drinks. I mean it’s a stronger feeling with the extra sweet ones… but it’s also true of the ones that already have no sweetness and only a trace of flavor to begin with, like La Croix water.

So I think it’s partly that I find drinks more refreshing with less sweetness, and also partly that I find them more refreshing with less carbonation. I like a little bit of each, but almost always less than the drink comes with.

Anyway, I have realized I’d been denying myself this? I think partly because I have known some people in the past who saw me watering down a soda and called it gross, and i changed for them and somehow it just stuck, and I only just now am realizing it?

But fuck that. I am eating and drinking exactly what I want these days. And my soda now not only tastes better to me but lasts three times as long. Why did I ever stop doing this brilliant thing. I’m awesome and the haters suck.
