So do I, about half a can every ten years :).

And I live on two coffees a day... instant, two coffeespoons (about 0,66 of your teaspoons) of it in about 0,5 liters of water/milk. Sometimes three if I wake up too early.

The reason for drinking a second coke is some kind of mental/sensual trap laid by the first one. I somehow don't ever find the will to drink that first one.
