Soda Challenge
I'm halfway on the 30-day soda challenge. I have some free passes from earlier challenges, so what happens if I choose to have soda on Christmas and use a pass? Does it extend my challenge?

Lotta Thank you :) I haven't had soda at all during the soda challenges, so I thought the passes were from earlier challenges, but I seem to have 5 to use for this one :D

annefood Yes exactly! 5 slips over 30 days. And congrats for not using any passes in your previous levels! That's fantastic!

Uber Aaalright! Thanks to you both! (: @darkchocolatepeanutbutter & @annefood

darkchocolatepeanutbutter Hi @hobmij! As @annefood and @Rachna said, the amount of water we drink depends on our personal needs so experiment with how much water you need to get through the day. Also may I ask where you got...
