Drinks that are not so good for you

OK, now there is a list of things we shouldn't drink because they have too much sugar or too many calories...click the link for the title to go to the whole story and list of drinks at Men's Health...but also click on the link below of the intro at yahoo. Note the Baskin Robbin’s Large Heath Bar Shake (32 oz):

2,310 calories
266 g sugar
108 g fat (64 g saturated)

I don't know how accurate the specs are for the Health Bar Shake..but WOW I would never have guessed a shake could be over 2,000 calories...

According to this editorial -- drinking calories is a bad idea (and contributes significantly to our national obesity problem). We should mostly be drinking water.

When I first decided to lose weight, the thing I first gave up was juice.

yes, but water doesn't have any sugar in it to make it taste good ;)
