Is it the job of a drinks corporation to treat the mentally ill?

"Drinking large quantities of Coca-Cola was a 'substantial factor' in the death of a 30-year-old woman in New Zealand, a coroner has said.

"Natasha Harris, who died three years ago after a cardiac arrest, drank up to 10 litres of the fizzy drink each day.

"Coca-Cola had argued that it could not be proved its product had contributed to Ms Harris' death.

"The coroner calculated that drinking 10 litres (17.5 pints) of Coke amounted to more than 1kg (2.2lb) of sugar and 970mg of caffeine, Television New Zealand (TVNZ) reports."

    How the heck is this the fault of coca cola. It's that stupid ******* fault. If you are mentally ill enough to drink 10 litres like that then IMO you are not fit to take care of your children. STUPIDITY.

  • Well she had to drink as she can’t have had any teeth left drinking that much coke. Maybe a health warning or two with maximum daily dosage. Did nobody tell her that they took the cocaine out of it years ago.

    … hmm, no teeth. No surprises there then.
