Do you drink soft drinks in tea cups?

As I do not drink alcohol, I prefer soft drinks most of the time. I have slight weakness for it, more so during the famous Indian summer. But, as I am getting more health conscious with age, I am noting that these drinks are not good for health too and mostly loaded with sucrose (kind of sugar). So I have decided to minimise my consumption. It is easy for me to do so as I don't have to do much outdoor work or high intensity exercises, so don't get dehydrated often. The technique that works for me is to pour the drink on a teacup and sip it just like tea. One teacup is enough to keep me satiated for a long time.
Do you follow any weird eating technique?

I just drink soda from the bottle or can I buy it in. I don't like washing more dishes or glasses than I have to wash. I don't drink soda very often because it's not good for me.

@DaddyEvil I have a small local grocery store in my neighborhood too, but I still need to pay for another bottle, right?

I do not think I follow a weird eating habit. I drink Pepsi Max and that does not have sugar. I also drink grape juice and milk. I bought a special mug that I like to drink things in and a special glass. I two sets of dishes and two sides. I eat milk products and meat products but not together.

It is hard to find here too but there is one store I go to in the morning that has it. I do not mix meat and milk because it is not kosher to eat them together. After I eat meat before I want to eat milk products I have to wait so many hours. Everyone has their own time they wait til to eat milk products after meat those that do not eat them together.

When I was young, around twenty years back , I liked Pepsi and Coke. But once I became health conscious, I have not touched any soft drinks in the last twenty years. I go for fresh juice or tender coconut water when I have to take a drink..Or just lime water without sugar is good enough for me.

That is a good trick. I mostly drink water, tea, coffee, herbal tea and some juice.

I've never used a tea cup for drinking soda or any cold beverage. I prefer a glass or drinking a coke or pepsi from the can

I take fruit juice not soft drinks as they affect our bones. I make my fruit juice at home. I only take the soft drink limonata.

Nothing weird eating technique for me. I just eat regularly or time. Just enough to fill my tummy. I eat veggies. No sofrtdrinks. Just plain water.

@Sojourn Not all. But I'm cautious of what I should eat since I'm already a senior citizen.

I never heard of anyone using a teacup lol, but if it works for you ! I dont drink soft drinks at all these days and never really drank them much before for some reason.- the amount of cans by the roadside is tragic so there must be loads of people drinking it by the gallon and throwing it out of the car window

I seldom drink soft drinks. I drink mostly water or tea. As for tea, I like Earl Grey with a little bit of honey. Japanese green tea is also my favorite.
