I don't think it can make you gain weight but the sugars in it will make you crave other foods..
I used to drink that much coke and I got off for a experiment.
My breath smelled so much better.
No headaches.
My teeth weren't so sentistive/stained
More energy
and When I drank something else (no sodas) it didn't make me crave for more.
Soda just makes you thristier.

Diet Cola has a substance in it called Aspartame, which is basically an artificial sugar.
BUT - A lot of people don't know the dangers of it. Keep in mind that artificial sweeteners are in all diet foods.
They actually make you crave more food / drinks - give you headaches - and cause many health problems!
Ever since I stopped eating foods with this, I have felt much better. Who cares if you're fat! EXERCISE! It's a wonderful thing.

Yes. Enjoy those teeth while you have them because they're not going to last very long.

Well yes - its all sugar really
Why dont you try coco cola zero : zero calories, zero sugar.
Also , (if youre a female) test have shown drinking more that 4 cans a week, makes your hips,pelvis bones shrink and leave you with more of a chance of having brittle bones disease in your pelvis.

No soda is good for you in large daily quantities. Does it make you gain weight? Why wouldn't it do the same as any other unhealthy beverage? Lite beer still causes beer bellies.
Known Coca-cola facts:
Pour a can a day down your kitchen sink drain to help prevent build up.
Pour a can of flat Coke into your white laundry loads. Brightens your whites!
Who knows about other brands, but I know that any drink made for human consumption that can also act in the same fashion as poisonous household chemicals isn't something I want to put into my body. Especially 12 cans a day...
P.S. Don't switch to Mountain Dew- it contains vegetable oil. :O
Read the ingredients, I wouldn't lie to you.

It may or may not. The calories are low, but it's filled with chemicals that can do numerous things to your body (such as make you crave sugar, which can cause you to overeat and gain weight).
Also, with the artificial sweetner in it, 12 cans a day is way too much, it could "cause cancer". Try replacing half of your soda with water, and then try to cut it down to 1 can a day.

Well, Diet Coke has less than 1 calorie per can, and 0.1 grams of carbs, so I don't think that's what is making a you gain weight. It could be that the caffeine is stimulating your appetite, though, or that you're gaining water weight.
Diet Coke has nasty artificial sweeteners, though, so you have to figure out whether it's worth the risk to drink 12 cans a day of nasty chemical sludge (in my opinion) rather than drinking more water, which your body really needs.

You know several months ago I would have said no.
I stopped drinking it in June and switched back to regular coke. I have lost 65 pounds since June.
So I can't give you any scentific evidence, but I won't be drinking any more of it soon! :)
