A
supermarket worker who drank 30 cans of Pepsi (about 10 liters) every day for
20 years says he has stopped the drinking habit.
Andy Currie consumed 10 litres of the Soda drink every day reportedly spending up to £140,000 over two decades.
Super
market worker spent ?140,000 drinking 10 litres of Pepsi every day for 20 years.
The
41-year-old from Bangor, north Wales says he has sipped around 219,000 cans of
Pepsi – equating to almost 8,000kg of sugar, or 7million sugar cubes since he
developed his addiction in his 20s.
Andy said:
‘I’ve always loved the taste of a cold Pepsi. Nothing could beat it and I just
got hooked.
‘I work
nights so always liked the sugar rush to keep me going. I’d go through four or
five two litre bottles of Pepsi every day.

‘Because I
work at Tesco I could just buy it straight after work and take it home.”
But Andy
says he now regrets his behavior because he could have purchased a car every
year with the ‘fortune’ he has spent on his favourite soft drink.
‘I just
needed to have it, as soon as I woke up I’d go to the fridge and pour myself a
large glass of Pepsi and just carry on through the day.
‘I
remember going to weddings and birthdays and while other people had glasses of
champagne I’d be toasting people with a can of fizzy pop.’
Andy
decided drastic action was necessary after his weight soared to 19 stone.
His
doctors warned he was at risk of developing diabetes.
He managed
to shed two stone through diet and exercise but struggled to stop drinking the
soft drink.
But after
starting online hypnotherapy, he says he has kicked the habit and drank water
for the first time in 20 years.
Andy said:
“David met me online and hypnotised me for about 40 minutes.
“I don’t
know what he said but afterwards I just didn’t want to drink it anymore.
“I’ve
still got two cans of Pepsi in my fridge which I was going to have before the
session but didn’t have time.
“I haven’t
touched them in a month and don’t plan to. I prefer water now. My wife Sarah
says my skin looks better and I’ve got so much more energy.”
