Featuring your fizzy drink of choice. My relationship with carbonated beverages is a complicated one. As someone who never really enjoyed the sensation alcohol provided, I'd often be the only one accompanied by a can of Coca-Cola at most social gatherings. My journey into fitness would later introduce me to Monster Energy, which to this day remains one of my only vices. After grappling with Monster-induced caffeine addiction for a year or so, I decided to quit all caffeine cold turkey, and now two years later my body thanks me for it everyday. Still love the taste of an ice-cold Coke, though.
