    2-3 Liters of Coke a day is quite a bit.

    I'll drink 2-3 litres of Coke a day if I can get a body like Aki Hoshino. She must have so much fun taking a shower!! Who is Akina?

    That is grotesque, 2-3 liters of coke a day? We're talking those big 2L size bottles worth everyday.

    I seriously think that's an unhealthy consumption level.

    Yuck.

    McDonalds is evil. Read fast food nation to see the effect of Micky D's on Japan. Or wiki it, to get the highlights.

    And 3RENSHO is right. "every day" is correct here, as it is used as an adverb of frequency. Now, if it were being used as an adjective, like "coke is my everyday drink" then it would be ok.

    Guys let's take our minds off the 2-3 litres of coke a day thing okay. What she chooses to drink is her issue. Sticking to the topic as the JT moderator is so prone to saying....

    I would like to add my two cents wiorth of comments for the day, both Hoshino Aki and Akinna Minami are fine representatives of the "Golden Arches" and a nice choice by Mickey D's to be the spokesmen for L-Sizing something!

    They can serve me in a mickey D's anyday!

    “Coke my favorite drink. I drink 2 to 3 liters everyday.”

    She also consumes yesterday's product endorsement in surprisingly high levels, and though she doesn't know it yet, she loves tomorrow's product, has used it since she was a kid, and finds men who use it just irresistable.

    If 19 year old Miss Minami wants to look like Miss Hoshino does at 31, I suggest she lay off the cokes.

    Arrgh. I wouldn't like to have her skin (or bones) a few years down the line if she keeps that up.

    Not that she's likely to be skin and bones if she insists on drinking 2-3 litres of empty calories daily.....

    Ms. Minami has proclaimed her love of the Coke on TV before (in a non-advertising situation).

    Apparently she won't drink water or tea...

    Akina loves Big Macs with extra mayonnaise. She is also rumoured to enjoy it on hot dogs.

    Classic. A gaijin behind the counter. Can't say I've ever seen one in my 8 years here. Would he flip the menu over the English for me??
