Posted: 4/17/07 at 6:56pmI haven't had soda in three years! I was addicted to Coca Cola Classic. Every once in a while (in a restaurant) I'll miss it, but I'm glad I gave it up. Diet soda wasn't an option because I think it's nasty. It was hard at first but I'm used to it now.

Actually I was soda-free for three months. It helped me lose 20 pounds. I drink maybe one a week now if that. Moutain Dew? Disgusting.

I will have a caffeine free DC every once in awhile. but not often.

I don't like being Soda-Free (Diet Coke). Not one bit. I don't even like to have jus tone left. I get twitchy if I open the last one and don't know where my next one is coming from.
AND I have to get them myself. My office mates will constantly say "Joe, I'm heading out! can I bring you a Diet Coke?" And I would always reply "YES I'd LOVE a DIET COKE" and then they bring me a Culver's cup that might as well be full of warm dog vomit as far as I'm concerned. But I have to be polite and say "OH! A DIET PEPSI! Thank you!"
And then I got into the whole "Oh! Maybe, where are you going?" and have to run down the list in my head: Culver's, Tommy's, Taco Bell, NO! McD, BK, Subway (Finally!) YES. But that lead to "I remembered I had a Taco Bell Coupon so I went there!" and I'd be tempted to pour the foul potion in their gas tank to teach them the value of SPECIFICITY.
So I don't bother any more. Diet Coke rules. I don't trust people who can't understand that DC is proof that God Loves Us and wants us to be happy.

Mmm, boy, there's nothin' like some high-fructose corn syrup! Mmm, mmm, nummers!
Oooh, and then there's that SUPER TASTY phosphoric acid! Yay!!
Next time you pop the tab on a can of Coke, remember this:
For every can of soda, your body withdraws 20mg of calcium from the bones to neutralize the acid you're dumping into your body. (The average can of soda has a pH of 1.5; your blood is 7.2-7.4)
Drink up, kiddies!

Posted: 4/17/07 at 7:14pmI haven't had a soda in years, but I am addicted to good ole fashioned unsweetend Iced Tea. I drink at least three glasses a day (on the weekends) and usually one or two a day on the weekdays. DAMN it's good

Posted: 4/17/07 at 7:24pmMy addiction is to Diet Coke with Lime. I can't get enough of it.
#13re: Who likes being soda-free?
Posted: 4/17/07 at 7:27pmI live for Diet Dr. Pepper. There's no way I could EVER give it up.
#14re: Who likes being soda-free?
Posted: 4/17/07 at 7:28pmI stopped drinking soda 8 years ago. Occasionally, I'll have some Sprite when I'm sick, but I can only have so much before I start to get a headache from all the sugar.

#15re: Who likes being soda-free?
Posted: 4/17/07 at 7:29pmI would probably drink soda more often if I drank diet, but no diet for me.
#16re: Who likes being soda-free?
Posted: 4/17/07 at 7:29pmI used to constantly drink sodas, but now thanks to Vitamin Water I've been able to limit myself to one can a day.

"You wanna coke?"
"Yeah."
"What kind?"
"Doctor Pepper."
Except it's even better in Atlanta, the Coke headquarters. Pepsi doesn't exist. And, if on some off chance a chain restaurant serves it, the conversation is:
"I'll have a coke."
"Oh, is Pepsi ok?"
"No thanks. I'll have water."
It's actually very entertaining.
I'm not so big on soda. Carbonation freaks me out, but I used to love Diet Coke.

I'm addicted to Diet Coke, it's amazing and no calories? It's fantastic.
I have one a day when it's in the house, and one a week if it's not. If there's non in the house I overcompensate with copious amounts of iced tea.

I'm not a fan of any of the big brands, and I'd give it up completely if it weren't for a little gem of the market called Jones Soda.
Haven't had it yet? GET A BOTTLE. (My favorites are the strawberry lime and green apple.)

Posted: 4/17/07 at 8:09pmCaroline - I'm in your camp. I haven't had a soda in YEARS. I'll occasionally mix a little 7-up or ginger ale with something stronger for a nip, but those times are few and far between anymore. In truth, while water is my real favorite, try to take my unsweetened iced tea away and I'll remove your arm!

Posted: 4/17/07 at 8:36pmI've been substituting pop (what we call it in Indiana) for milk. I feel so much happier now, too!
