I mean, there's really nothing wrong with a nice cold Coke to satiate your thirst. But we've all been drinking cola-flavored beverages for so long I think they've become a "hammer," so to speak. Can't hurt to shake things up a bit. Let's be real here: if you're thirsty, you should be drinking water. Coffee or teas are more effective at delivering caffeine. And who wants to sit down to a big steak dinner with a glass of Cola? A nice red wine is a much better tool for the job. Horses for courses, that's my take. Seems to me the carbonated beverage manufacturers are just starting to realize that they can flavor their drinks with something other than the cola-blend that Angelo Mariani invented in 1863!
