n the late 90’s I drank 6 cans of Mountain Dew in a day. I was jittery for the rest of the day.

Mountain Dew was my favorite drink until I started having hypoglycemic rebounds. I felt fine shortly after drinking a can, but 20 minutes later, my sugar crashed and I was shaking. It just didn't match well with my job duties that included updating floor layout drawings for a central office and neatly printing engineering specs for Western Electric.

Many years later, I developed a bad habit of drinking Cherry Coke. My trip to the dentist ran up a whopping $1500 to repair all the spots where the acidic Coke had leached the calcium from my teeth. I switched to unsweetened ice tea. My teeth stabilized and I loss excess weight from the sugar.

I used to drink Mtn. Dew like that until someone mentioned, in passing, to me that everyone she knew who drank it had ended up with brain cancer.

That thought weighed on me and, after a few days, I switched to unsweet green tea and never looked back.

When I worked space missions and had to stay up for 5 days in a row with just 20 minute catnaps, Mountain Dew replaced my blood.

I’m not heavily affected by caffeine. I can drink coffee anytime if day and sleep like a baby.

But, when I was about 20, I shotgunned a Mountain Dew. I was immediately wired.

It’s still my soft drink of choice but I usually drink zero sugar.
