"Coffee in the Morning" is a cultural phenomenon. You can argue the relative merits of different beverages and times to drink them, but the status of coffee has nothing to do with nutrition or biochemistry.

MODERATORS
I rarely drink coffee and sometimes drink soda, but never in the morning. I’m concerned about developing a need for caffeine.
Once I thought coffee was giving me migraines so I quit it cold turkey for 2 months. Turns out it wasn't so I started again. I just like a warm drink in the morning. Caffeine itself doesn't really do anything to me I don't think. I can drink a coffee at 11pm and pass out at 1130 no problem.

I don't understand how people can have sugar with their primary source of caffeine. Caffeine just doesn't hit me right with any calories. I also hate coffee, so I live on those Celcius powders.
I think it's fine. You do you.
Contrary to popular belief, diet soda is completely fine in moderation (like 20 cans per day limit), assuming your teeth/guts can handle the acidity. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCDqqVwYMa4
Coffee typically doesn't have much or any sugar in it. It's caffeine, water, milk. It has more caffeine than soda so it feels better to take it in the morning
20 cans a day is moderation to you? Wow.
That's the limit of safe intake.
You should spend some time learning how to vet sources. That's not a reliable source.
I get that it's a youtube video but Dr Mike knows his stuff. He goes through WHO's recommendations and gives his practical input on the matter.

Also the amount is important soft drinks are packed in 300ml or 500ml where coffee you get only 30ml shot and glass of water
