Depressing Drinks

This story that I found in the BBC's news sections is about a study that scientists recently did that suggests that there is a correlation between depressed people, and people who drink "artificially sweetened beverages". This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard. We all know those people who don't have jobs, and just sit around all day drinking soda and beer. And even if we don't personally know someone like that, we've al heard of that phenomenon. Yes, it is true, depressed people drink soda. But news flash people, so do perfectly happy people. My personal opinion is that the scientists who did this study are depressed about their lives and they want to blame it on soda.
