Yes, coke, diet coke, pepsi, diet pepsi, lemonaid, anything carbonated is also hard on your teeth. It eats away at the enamel and makes caries more likely. I learned that. It's not so much the sugar as the carbonation. Of course, overdoing the sugar is not good, either.
In the winter you'll still want the hot drink occasionally. Do you like Horlicks? (sp) My family drinks that. Also, herbal teas are good. Tea has properties that actually prevent caries so substituting a decaf version is desirable. And the ever popular - what is that stuff - oh yes, Marmite in hot water when you have a cold. ooohhh- shiver I'm not a fan.
Drinking plenty of water is always a good idea. Hey, one mile is a good starter. Then two, etc. Don't over challenge yourself.
Here's to you!
