A can of soft drink every two days seems highly unhealthy to me.

If you look at the statistics you can see that the countries consuming the most softdrinks per capita (US and Mexico) come in around 2 cans per capita per day.

So, 1 can per every other day is 1/4 the average consumption. It would be strange to call such a consumption level highly unhealthy.

Why would calling 1/4 of extremely unhealthy consumption "highly unhealthy" that strange?

Ehh? That's nowhere near the "highly unhealthy" level. A pack of cigarettes a day... now we're gettin somewhere.

It isn't healthy, but life is about pleasure too. Gotta pick your battles.

What if it wasn’t actually pleasurable, but what you are doing is feeding certain species in your microbiome that control you by telling you it is pleasurable so you continue to feed them at the expense of your own health.

To each their own, but the thought of having 2 soft drinks a day is utterly revolting to me.

Sounds desperate to me. I have always intended to live way better than this.
