Wow. That is way to much. I usually drink about 10 a day
But there not Dr Peppers, there Coke Zeros

1) Dr. Pepper (or any soda) contains large quantity of fructose -> calories that are easily absorbed far from essential. Also, unlike glucose, our bodies do not limit the uptake of fructose -> it is all absorbed.
2) It is liquid calories -> liquid nutrition is absorbed by your body faster than solid nutrition. Also, we tend to ignore the caloric value of liquids (pop has no real essential nutritional value, but lots of calories)
3) The phosphorus in pop has a mainly inverse relationship with the calcium deposited in your bones -> increased ingestion of phosphorus causes resorption of calcium of your bones (essentially meaning that the calcium in your bones is eaten away)
4) The caffeine can lead to dependence (like people that *need* their daily coffee) and you may develop symptoms of withdrawal like migraines and decreased concentration if you try to quit cold turkey. From the Dr. Pepper alone, you are consuming almost 90mg of caffeine. Many people develop dependence with regular overall intake of ~100mg.
(Plus all the usual stuff about the acid eating away your enamel and so forth)

24oz is a lot of pop to drink daily, mate. If you really want to cut back, start by watering it down so that you drink less and keep adding more and more water and less and less Dr. Pepper until you wean yourself off. Good luck

This guy got it covered, just make sure to limit your intake of sodas. I suggest substituting it with fresh juice if you still want a tasty drink. Just like coffee, a cup/glass a day won't hurt. (I'm guilty of #4 )

Dr Pepper lowers your sperm count ;)

Care to explain sir?

24 oz is only 0.75 liters, it's not very much.
But I wouldn't drink it every day, it's not healthy.

I don't think 24 is a lot, but the fact that you drink it daily is a lot! I myself, drink these type of things one time a month, because I know they are not healthy in general.

Good choice and all but that's way to much.
I drink maybe 710 ml per day of anything that is available.

Try drinking milk, it's always good and it's tasty too.

I don't believe that's true, from what I hear it's Mtn Dew that does that.

You won't be able to cum, thats what some doctors say

The caffeine restricts the blood vessels in the penis, making it extremely difficult to ejaculate.

[Nympho]

Lol. It's too much, bro. Get less dose. 24 is overdose.
