Hi..

I am totally addicted to coke and pepsi and since falling pregnant i have cut down from 3/4 cans a day to 1, if that... (even though i know it says you can drink up to 5 a day safely)

It's been quite easy to find out roughly the caffeine content for can's of drink, tea, coffee and chocolate but im wondering if anyone knows what the caffeine content might be on 'pub coke' the stuff out of the pump thing... I absolutely love that and could drink pints of it!!! but im slightly worried to drink more than a 1/2 at the minute as im not sure what the caffeine content would be and i have no idea how to find out, I wonder if it's less than normal coke as it's quite watered down but it would be nice to know so i can be sure im not drinking too much!!

If anyone could shed some light that would be very helpful...

Thanks

I've drank a lot of coke all my life and my teeth are pretty good, I've never had any problems with my teeth.
Although obviously sugar etc.. will have some effect on your teeth, i think it totally depends on what your teeth are like when your born, I think they're always gonna be what they're gonna be.

My brother doesn't drink any fizzy, doesn't eat hardly any sugar and he's had no end of problems with his teeth.. they're like he's eating a bag of sugar a day, when he's not.

Just my opinion...

I suspect there's less caffine in pub coke as it's mixed with soda water and generally doesn;t taste as "strong" as the canned/bottled stuff. But you prob tend to drink more as they usually have large measures don't they.

I'm with you on the teeth thing. I stick to one can of fixxy drink per day but am a sweetie adict and at 33 have never had a filling. I know this might not last for ever but I do think that a lot of it's genetic and you're either lucky or unlucky when it comes to the strength of your teeth!

Thanks for your reply Feebs, i totally agreem I think it's genetic and your either lucky or unlucky, cuz if it was soley what you eat/drink that effected your teeth i think i'd have none left! :/

I thought the same as you that it doesn't seem as strong, but i'd like to know for sure, I still don't think i'd drink loads of it even if it was low in caffeine but i'd just like some assurance that on the odd occasion that i go to the pub, i could drink coke all night to substitute the alcohol and not be putting baby at risk..x

they used to make full fat caffine free coke and that was way better than the diet versions. I've no idea why they assume if you don't want caffine you want a load of aspartime (sp). Give me the sugar anyday!!

Can't help with the caffine content of pub coke but defo agree on the caffine free stuff tastin awful! i'm a self confessed coke addict (the fizzy stuff obviously) and while in spain last month i lived on caffine free coke and pepsi with all the sugary goodness of regular coke. We should complain to coke/pepsi that we can't get it! wonder how they would feel about pissin off a bunch of hormonal pregnant women!!! lol

Hey hun, sorry it took me a while, only just got a reply from very confused hubby! he has checked the box of syrup & it has no caffeine label on it, so he tried calling their supplier, but couldn't get thru! He will ask when he places his delivery order tomorrow!! Bless him! He said at the end..... is there any particular reason you need this information?! I've gone off fizzy drinks so poor boy's probably all confused!! xx
