From mass quantities to one once in a while. I'll take it and it's a miracle.

We never had any soft drinks at home when I was growing up. My father had been a grocer most of his life and did not approve of them.
My first couple of years at college I drank a large coke every afternoon at the cafe in the Student Union Building. I guess the caffeine and sugar helped keep me going.
Then I took a part time job at a research lab at a local US Air Force base. One of the captains brought a six pack of coke to work every single day and drank it all! They were the large bottles of the time, 1962 - 1964. He was probably at least 25 at most maybe 28 years old, by far the fattest officer there and his face was covered with pimples. After this I gave up drinking more than an occasional coke.
