    I wouldn't drink cans of coke if you paid me.
    I feel the same way about beer.

    There's a small cinema I used to go to when living with parents in wales - £5 for adult entry and popcorn, shock when I went to a bigger cinemas and getting a adult ticket was £10 plus!

    Compare a can of sugary water plus other chemical waste with, say, a German lager made from 4 natural ingredients, I know which way I'd go on it.

  • I normally find ginger beer is much cheaper than the other drinks.
    Local Sainsburys:
    Coke 500ml 73p
    Ginger Beer 500ml 45p

    Tastes nicer too.
