  I love regular cokes!! I only like fountain and I drink one large a day. My kids will take sips of mine. I will let my three year old have a soda on occasion when he is sick or for a treat. He never drinks the entire thing. My kids mainly drink water and juice. Oj and fruit/veggie drinks with meals. I'd rather soda stay a sometimes drink for my lo's.

  We don't drink it, so it will only be at an event that they would get access to it. I would prefer to raise my kids to not drink it.

  I would give it to my girls on occassion when we are out to eat if they would drink it. They just don't like soda, I think it is the carbonation. If we can't give them milk or juice when we are out to eat they would rather drink water than soda. So I am not against it, they just don't like it. I am sure this will change in a year or so. My kids also didn't like popsicles up until 6 months ago. I mean what kid doesn't like popsicles? Mine.

  I'm going to keep it away from them as long as possible! I don't want them to be like me who will drink 4 cans of pepsi in a day. DD#1 has had 1 sip ever and it was when we went out to eat. I was talking to the waitress and out of the corner of my eye I see her lean over the table and take a sip of my drink. I didn't freak out and just told her that this was mommy's drink. I don't think she liked it. 

  I'm not quite sure what age I'll allow them to have soda. If I could probably not till middle school. But I know that's not going to happen. I'd say around 10 or 11.
