Warren Buffett's 48-Year Absence of Water Consumption

Warren Buffett, the 96-year-old billionaire investor known as the Oracle of Omaha, has not drunk water in 48 years, preferring Cherry Coke and other sugary beverages. This unusual preference was highlighted during a dinner with fellow billionaire investor Bill Ackman, who stocked Cherry Coke for the occasion.

When offered still and sparkling water, Buffett declined both and confirmed he does not drink water at all. Buffett's fondness for sugary drinks is well-documented; he has openly discussed his daily consumption of Coca-Cola, which includes at least five 12-ounce servings.

He typically drinks three Cokes during the day and two at night, favoring regular Coke at his office and Cherry Coke at home. Buffett's relationship with Coca-Cola extends beyond personal preference, as his company, Berkshire Hathaway, is one of Coca-Cola's largest shareholders, having invested approximately $1.3 billion to acquire about 9% of the company since 1988.
