When you drink Mountain Dew do you become absent minded?

Question

When I drink Mountain Dew, my memory goes down hill. Reluctantly, I have stopped drinking it. Now, I am just wondering if others have experienced the same affects

Answer 1

Mountain Dew has as much caffeine as cola sodas. That caffeine usually makes you more alert.

As far as aspartame there are only sugary sweeteners in mountain dew with no artificial ones.

Answer 2

My husband drinks a lot of Mountain Dew and he can't remember c**p.  But I don't know if they're really related.  :)

Answer 3

i dont think that ever happened to me, but i dont drink it too much

Answer 4

That happened a couple times with me. After I drank two cups of Mountain Dew I couldn't even remember how to spell simple words. It's crazy. I love Mountain Dew, but I am forcing myself to rarely drink it.

Answer 5

wow you do have an adverse reaction to the drink.. i have many friends that have MD often with no such complaints..

Does the same thing happen when you have other types of high sugar or aerated drinks.. if yes then your body just reacts that way to them.. just keep away as you already are..

Answer 6

if it has aspartame in it like most diet sodas,  that could be one of the side effects ..
