Warren Buffett Has Not Drunk Plain Water for 48 Years, Prefers Cherry Coke
Billionaire investor Warren Buffett has reportedly not consumed plain water for 48 years, preferring Cherry Coke instead. Fellow hedge fund manager Bill Ackman shared this during a podcast, noting Buffett declines water even when offered. Buffett reportedly drinks about five cans of Coca-Cola daily, with the beverage making up around a quarter of his caloric intake. While this habit contrasts with typical health advice, Buffett has maintained it alongside a diet that eschews conventional wellness trends.
