Both of them are very dangerous because the quantity of sugar in both can cause a lots of problems. it is very unfortunate that the producers of both do not care about healths and lives of the consumers rather, they are only interested in their profits.

In an environment where its source of water is suspect, I will prefer to drink beer.
But a bottle of sugar laced drink taken every day amount to sugar addict, so all also a beer every day amount to alcohol addict.

Too much of water can lower your body salt level. Beside non medical use of some substance, all food should be taken in moderation from sugar, beer, soft fizzy drinks, offal, red meat, butter, margarine ,Eba,fufu,ewedu. name it.

As a solar energy technologist, there are some remote areas where boiling water is a luxury, that what I mean.
Are you aware that not all packaged water both in polythene packs and plastic bottle can be authenticated for their purity.

A lil correction.. sugar or sugar contents CANNOT make one "diabetic" rather diabetes is not gotten from what we eat or drink. There are two types, Type 1 and type 2 diabetes.. Type 1 is hereditary, Type 2 is when the body (pancreas) is unable to produce enough insulin for the body, so artificial insulin is required.. Now those with Diabetes generally stay away from foods containing sugar and foods high in carbohydrate. Because Insulin regulates the glucose level in the body, so consumption of too much sugar items is bad because it will lead to "Hyperglycemia" due to the inability of the body to regulate the sugar level. This therefore can led to renal/kidney failure, cardiovascular disease and damage to the nerves ... Sugar does not cause diabetes on it's Own. Let's be guided please.. #peace

Not entirely correct. Type 1 diabetes is genetic but type 2 can be caused by several things including consumption of too much sugar, too much carbs, obesity and stress.

This is my 1yr 2months of saying No to soft drinks. I used to take soft drinks so much that I could not take any meal without a bottle of coke by the side. I tried so much to stop it but I could just avoid it for a day and the next day I see myself gulping my favorite cola drink until 29th July, 2018 I was in my office and as I wanted to take my meal, I brought out my bottle of chilled coke. Inside me I heard, "why not say NO to this coke."

That was how my journey of Say No To Soft drinks started. Now, seeing ppl taking those thing makes me feel as if they are taking poison. What we do now in my house is to gather as enough good fruits as possible from markets. Blend them, store them in a fridge, take them in place of processed drinks. We blend the much that can just last for us like a day or two to avoid over-refrigerating or spoilage.

Meanwhile, I am not beer person. I hardly have appetite for beer though I take some good quality wine and not very regularly.


Avoid sugar, avoid raw salt and minimize all those processed food to stay healthy.

Yes a very great difference.
Before now, when looking at things or reading, it will most times appear cloudy and shadowy.
Sometimes, when I read thing, I will feel so much strain in my eyes which will cause pains in my eyes and serious headache.
I wanted to go for medicated glass, but I hate glasses.
I told myself that I know where my problems are coming from. I knew I was taking too much coke.
I also told myself that I was gradually sliding towards getting diabetic.
I looked at the pains and troubles of this sickness and took that decision to shun sugary drinks.

Before then, I was getting up more than 5 time per night to urinate. Sometime when I taste my urine with my tongue I will not get that much salty taste. Sometimes it will just be as if it was ordinary water. I will tell myself guy what is remaining now is for it to start tasting sugary and I will know that I have embarked on that journey that can never be reversed-diabetes.

I was scared to go for medical test cos I know they will definitely find something that will even start killing me before I get the sickness. I decided not to go for any medical test since I know where my problem was coming from.

Now, I feel so good, my sweat and urine taste normal. I have gone for several blood sugar test from different good hospitals, the results are so perfect. I no longer feel any strain in my eyes and no headache from reading books. I can read from now till tomorrow and no any kind of strain or pain.

Most times, I no longer wake up in the night to take a leak. I feel stronger and refreshed. I keep watch on what I and my family eat these days.

I forgot to tell you, I worked for a soft drink manufacturing company for very long years. You can imagine as a young man those days taking bottles of mineral on daily basis. In those days, it was estimated that a bottle of our softdrink contains 9 cubes of sugar.

Also, those one that are Zero sugar have other ingredients that were used to replace the sugar. I must tell u that those ingredients are deadlier than sugar.

ZoeyJ:
If you’re drinking a glass or two of soda (and let’s assume the glass is about 12 ounces or 350mL) per day, the effects should be negligible. If you’re drinking two liters or more of heavily sugared soda (a cola type beverage, for example) per day, after a time (everyone’s body responds differently so it could be sooner or later) you may become diabetic.
The same thing goes for alcoholic beverages. If you’re having one beer, or one glass of wine or a mixed drink on a regular basis, the effects are negligible. If, however, you are drinking a 750mL bottle of gin every night, after ten or fifteen years, you’ll eventually experience health problems ranging from mental health issues like depression to an irritated liver and/or pancreas and others, and that says nothing about the withdrawal effects.
Too much of anything is never a good thing. But, we’re all human and take just about anything to an extreme level.
My answer: depending on how much of either you consume, they both can wreak havoc on your body, however I think that alcohol is probably the worst out of these two simply because one can become addicted to it

Nairaland owes you a bottle of malt.

Alcohol has the potential to kill instantly. It can lead you to go and rape a person's wife, and it can move one to go and jam a moving trailer etc. A soft drink can kill if only if your antibodies are weak or you refused to treat the ailment when it surfaces. In conclusion, Alcohol has both short and long term killing potential, while soft drink has a long term with a condition attached.
Re: Alcohol Vs Soft Drink: Which Is More Harmful? by Jman06(m): 10:58am On Sep 14, 2019
Alcohol is deadlier than soft drinks. That is practical and can be seen even from the intoxicating effects of alcohol. Alcohol affects many organs in the body like the liver, the brain, the intestine, the kidneys etc.
If you want to understand what alcohol does to the body, buy the liver or intestine of an animal from the market, soak it in alcohol (45%) for some time and then observe the damages.

Soft drinks on the other hand are not as deadly as some researchers imply. Provided you aren't living a sedentary lifestyle, soft drinks won't harm you. One bottle of soft drink daily won't harm an active individual. Some research works are poorly reviewed and their findings aren't true!
