Dad: I used to drink to the MAX... with 14 cans a day
Birmingham Mail
|May 21, 2025
A MIDLAND dad has kicked his £3,000-a-year fizzy drink habit after being hypnotised.
Dean Gavin downed 14 cans of Pepsi Max a day after switching from “full fat” Coke when he was diagnosed with diabetes.
But he turned to hypnotherapy after struggling to sleep and feeling “edgy and wired”.
The former farm worker, aged 52 and from Bedworth, in Warwickshire, said: “I have always loved fizzy pop and used to drink full fat Coke but I had to stop because I was diagnosed with diabetes.
“I still wanted to have my fizzy pop fix so I switched to Pepsi Max because it was sugar free. I loved the taste and used to drink up to 14 cans a day.
