Don't. It's shit. In the UK, every drink became low sugar as they swapped sugar for aspartame and asulfate k. Only coca-cola stayed the same and you pay the tax. I mostly drink apple or orange juice now, but I reserve the right to want to drink shitty drinks when I buy a takeaway. Companies didn't give that choice unfortunately.

Artificial sugars taste like shit and there is some evidence that despite zero calories, they can lead to higher blood sugar level.

Oh, and aspartame could be carcinogenic: https://www.who.int/news/item/14-07-2023-aspartame-hazard-and-risk-assessment-results-released

It's like when UK pushed folk to diesel to cut CO2 emissions and greenhouse gases got worse.

100% fruit juices would remain exempt

Why?? Shit’s sugar. You’re not getting most of the nutritional benefit from juice, all the fiber has been removed.

I'm more often drinking water, only coffee with stevia for up to 4 times a day, and enjoy a little soda or fruit juice once in a while as I treat those the same way as a shot of whisky. Just all in moderation.

I’m gonna go broke when they introduce the Spicy Tax.

The UK has had this for a while. I will be honest in that I still miss the taste of full sugar drinks, that's definitely a downgrade, however after so many years of having these other drinks available I've lately found full sugar to be just... Too much.

Some artificial sugars do a number on my gut though. Been drinking more healthier things as a result, though overall I suppose the sugar tax has had a positive effect?

Today I learned y’all dumb as fuck. What’s wrong with the comments?
