Pensioner drinks nothing but Coke for 40 years in promise to mother



Pero Ajtman, 71, said he promised his mother he would stop drinking alcoholic beverages four decades ago.
"She made me promise never to drink again and Coke was the only thing that tasted as good as wine so I started drinking that."
"Now I have a glass in the morning, before and after lunch, with my dinner and then before I go to bed. I never drink anything else."

Her classmates would like to hear from you:

What consequences do you think this will bring to him?
Would you be able to do the same?
Have you got any addiction?

  4. He may have some health problems and doesn't know..or pretends that doesn't know.
    I'm addicted to cheese(hahaha) but I would never do something like that because I know that it wouldn't be good to me, to my life.
    Making a promise to your mother that you'd stop drinking alcoholic beverages, don't mean that you'll only drink one thing during your lifetime. He should try another drinks..maybe other soda.

    Ow, ow! This eldery Sir is really crazy.
    I think he should choose another beverage. It could be chincha morada, a kind of juice in Peru. It is made from purple corn. It looks strange, but surely it is much better than coke for his health.
    I wouldn't be able to do the same. I'd much rather drink wine or water than coke. I'm very fond of red wine.
    I'm addicted to eat chocolate after have lunch.

  14. Everything in excess is bad for your health.
    You've got to control yourself in your own addictions. If you can do it, congratulations, you're one of mine.

  15. I think I would not be able to do the same because it is not good for health. He could have stomachache or other disease, in addition he could become fat. My addictions are TV and fastfood.

  17. I don't think it was a good promise..
    He is drinking Coke at least five times a day!
    So, he's changed something bad for something even worst, because it kills more slowly.
    Well, I hate Coke, but I'm addicted to Matte Leão and Chocolate.

  18. So, I think dinking coke for a period logs as that one can be a problem, but in this case it'sa good idea because alcoholic drinks aren't the best idea.....

  19. In the future, the choice that he had made, will be much better than continues drinking alcoolic drinks. But in the same time drinking Coke isn't heathy. Is more heathy than drink alcoolic drinks. Yes, if I have to make a choice, drink Coke or alcoolic drinks. I would drink Coke.

  20. he may have cancer, because too much of anything can cause cancer. including English classes!

  21. if he drank alcohol the same way he has been drinking coke, then he'd have no liver, he'd be a member of AA, and his family would have fallen apart.

  22. you don't have to enjoy a drink (any drink) as much as you enjoy wine.

    the way I see it, he is trying to substitute his alcohol addiction for something else.

    get a life!
