I quit smoking almost 30 years ago. I have never been crazy about alcohol. I am pretty old, and I have no vices.

Except for soda.

I love soda, and used to drink so much Coca-Cola that the calories could equal an entire meal. So I began to drink diet soda. Then my doctors said all soda is bad but diet soda is even worse than bad. So, for a special treat when I go out to dinner, it was back to treating myself with a full-calorie Coca-Cola.

At the supermarket today, I saw Coca-Cola in a glass bottle, with a green and white label. Coca-Cola Life, with stevia and sugar. Sixty calories in an 8-ounce bottle. I bought a six-pack. It is delicious. No aspartame. I might continue to buy this, until someone tells me this is awful for me, too.
