Why do people drink this? Sugar is bad for you, but sugarless drinks are literally 1000x worse. Like your body still releases insulin but you get no energy in return.

Are people actually retarded?

The insulin released is less than that of a full sugar bolus. Also ~0 cals is obviously preferable to 100+ cals when trying to enter a calorie deficit (and in terms of general health fructose and sucrose therein is simply awful for you). The only real concern is that diet/zero soda is still bad for the teeth, gut micro biome, and appetite but the same can be said more so of regular soda. Of course the moral of the story is to just drink water.

I used to be 250 lbs.

I switched to 0 cal. sodas and cut alcohol out completely. Also got a job where I burn crazy calories doing labor.

Insulin without sugar is probably better than insulin with sugar anyway. Rather than be drinking 5 slices of cakes worth of sugar in a bottle.

It's basically impossible to "indulge in sugar" by means of a sugary drink. Basically any drink with sugar has more than twice your daily recommended sugar intake. And I'm not talking about an entire bottle, just a glass of the drink. Even an "orange juice" would make you go over 36g.

My girlfriend is addicted to low/no calorie no brand soft drinks. Buying her two week supply looks industrial, everybody is looking at us with two trolleys, one regular, the other loaded with 2L bottles. There isn't anywhere to store them in the house so they have to go in the kitchen next to the bin stacked up. There is row upon row of plastic bottles. Occasionally they get knocked over and they go rolling everywhere knocking over other ones and she is swearing and scrabbling around trying to neaten them all up. I was raised to drink water and rarely touch any of that shit, the only time I go for something carbonated is if it is a mixer with booze and for that I buy the full sugar branded stuff. I've a 12 pack of coke in the fridge from last Christmas with 5 cans left and she asks me daily if she can have one of my cokes and I tell her no, that is how often I drink soft drinks. I find the whole setup distasteful to be honest and while it isn't enough to break up with her I do fuck with her. I make her push the trolley herself and she usually can't keep control of it in the car park on on any slope and I make sure to just watch and shake my head. I don't help her load it into the car and just make comments like "phew, we'll need a bigger car soon for all this pop". She fills the recycling bin with plastic bottles and then tries to stack the rest by the door for the next bin day so I get sick of tripping over them at the bottom of the stairs so I make her empty the bin out and crush them down so they fit (recycling is every two weeks here) so people passing by in the street are like "mummy, why does that lady have 56 bottles of dr pop?". I always refer to it by something infantile too ... "hey ... don't forget your fizzy darling" ... "oh careful, you almost knocked over your pop pop there" ... "you having your fizzies for breakie?"

I know. I don't give a shit though. Everybody has bad habits, but they are rarely enough to issue an ultimatum over. I could demand that she stops it, but really I'll just be the guy that stops her doing something she wants to do. She knows that I don't like it, I've not been passive about it, but she also knows I'm not going to break up with her over it either. Implying she has a problem outside of her control and making it out to be extremely serious is likely more patronising. There is no positive way to inspire or encourage her in this situation. I can't lead by example or demonstrate a superior path. I know it is ridiculous, she knows it is ridiculous. All I can do is have boundaries like I'm not going to help or enable you with it, I'm going to be honest to myself and consistent with my criticism of the more visible and egregious excesses and I'm not going to tolerate shit like having a hallway filled with empty plastic bottles and other metal/glass/plastic recycling for a week. Also no you can't drink my fucking cokes.

Ultimately any partner comes as a mixture of pros and cons. At least she doesn't smoke cigarettes. You might as well accept the ones which you can tolerate instead of seeking perfection. At the end of the day all I really care about is getting my dick sucked, releasing my seed into one of her holes and a moderate amount of companionship, everything else is negotiable.

It was a popular and trendy "health conscious" substitute for coffee for the longest time in business settings. Instead of taking the time to make coffee, you'd just grab a diet coke from the fridge and get back to work.
When the artificial sweetener scare started, most of these people were too old and set in their ways to change trends. I wouldn't be surprised if the diet soft drink market is held up largely by the 50+ demographic.
