Actually, there is a difference between diet and regular soda.
Normally, diet soda is better for you - doesn't raise blood
glucose levels, lower in calories, etc. BUT - when drinking,
SUGAR (in regular sugar soda) helps slow down the absorption of
alcohol in the body. In other words, diet soda and liquor will
get you drunk quicker and harder, but regular soda slows down
the alcohol. "
