What would the theoretical best time to drink a soda be?

[McFakerton]

I know that as far as "food" is concerned that a soda is basically liquid garbage, but if you WERE to drink one, when would the best time be?

Currently I don't drink NEARLY as much soda as I used to. Like, not even close. It has pretty much been cut out of my diet but I have to admit that I've still got a weak spot for a Dew every now and then.

My line of thinking is this: If I am to drink a soda, the best time to do it is a little before a workout. Then at least hopefully my body will burn the sugars and all that as energy as opposed to it settling nicely on my abdomen.

Am I crazy? Does it really even matter?

Never.................the only time i drink soda is if i go out to eat somewhere like applebees etc.... and then i will only have one.....once i cut out soda, candy and stopped drinking beer and switched to hard liqour, my "bloat" has gone down quite a bit, my face looks alot skinnier and my belly fat went down noticably. I read somewhere that a soda a day over the course of a year =10 lbs of fat...Ill try to find that for you.

They're just talking about total calories but phrase it in a way to give people a wake up call on sugar. (1 yam a day a day is 54,750 calories or 15 pounds too) But no soda for me. Diet pepsi occasionally.

Are you aware that they make diet mountain dew? If you must consume one, centered around your workout or a cheat meal is best.
