Will you drink soda when you are having dinner at home? / myLot

In our family we don't have a habit to drink soda when we are having dinner. Usually we will just drink either water or soup. This is why I am surprised that some families will let their children to drink soda when they are having the dinner. Our soda time is usually when we watching a movie at home at night. And namely once or twice a week. Soda is nice to drink but it is also not healthy. This is why we try not to drink it so often.

Fortunately it is not common at my place. Many parents do not allow their children to drink soda or eat too much snacks. Only when the weather is hot, then I like to have soda with ice cream to make ice cream float.

That's good for the parents to do so.

@youless Sometimes I think children drink soda when they are outside. They have pocket money, and they can easily buy snacks on their way to school or during lunch break in school.

No. Never at dinner time not even water. But I drink fruit juices made at home any other time. A friend of mine came down from the US. She is settled there. I was surprised to see her drinking coke which we Indians never have the habit of drinking at dinner time. Bad habit (lol)

It seems that Americans like eating something like hamburgers or hot dogs with soda water.

I drink soda when I'm having dinner. I drink a smoothie while eating lunch.

It is OK to drink it when you are thirsty in hot summer.

I don't like the taste of soda either. It is not common to drink by children. They do like to have some juices or other drinks that soda.

I am surprised to hear that you don't like the taste of the soda. Since it is sweet, I guess many people will like it.

I do not like drinking sodas right after I found out that it has bloating effect on our body. I think I have a big belly and a bit big tummy just because I was fond of sodas before.

It is good that you drink it less.
