Warren Buffett Prefers Soda Over Water, Avoids Water for Nearly 50 Years
Warren Buffett, the 96-year-old investor, reportedly has not drunk water for nearly five decades, preferring soda instead. Billionaire investor Bill Ackman shared a story recalling Buffett declining water at a dinner, stating he hadn't had water in 48 years. Buffett is known for drinking about five cans of Coke daily and once described himself as "one-quarter Coca-Cola" based on his calorie intake. His soda preference has been noted since his earlier years when he favored Pepsi before switching to Cherry Coke.
