Twice/double
1A. Could you confirm whether the following sentence is okay?
It is twice good to think the present is immortal while the past is dead.
1B. If it is fine, can I replace 'twice' with 'double' there?
2. Is this sentence, "Teenagers drink on average double as much soda as milk," right? Or, should I change the underlined 'double' into 'twice'? Can I say 'two times' instead of 'twice'?

lucas21cCould you correct "It is twice good to think the present is immortal while the past is dead?"Unfortunately I don't understand it what "twice good" is supposed to mean. Very good? Good on two separate occasions??
