addicted to the sweet nector of soda

[Raistlin]

When I was 13-15 or so, I only drank soda. I would drink three, four sodas a day. It was horrible. Soda is the worst thing you can drink. Diet or caffeine free soda isn't any better (though caffeine free isn't addictive). Now I drink soda maybe two or three times a month, and then it's usually caffeine free.

Caffeine is addictive. When you try to stop drinking it after your body is used to it, you will go through withdrawal (not nearly as bad as alcohol/nicotine withdrawal, but still uncomfortable). If you really want to help your body and stop drinking, you'll have to tough it out for a while. Gradually would probably be best, so going down to one a day is good. Next go down to, say, half of a soda a day. Then none, and just tough out the headaches for a day or two (they don't last long).

I usually drink milk instead. It's the best.

I dont like fizzy drinks anymore :eep:
Still drinks are better, Oasis :greenie:

Italian soda is great, everyone should start drinking that.

I'm sort of addicted to soda/pop/sodapop, but I try my best to stay away from it, I only really drink it on weekends.

I do drink far too much soda pop coke. I'd say I'm only borderline addicted. I think I'm just overall addicted to sweet sugary drinks - if I go without soda pop coke, I just end up making up for it in kool aid, gatorade, etc. Which are definitely better for me, but still not the best things I could be drinking

Naw, I'm not addicted, but I do love Mountain Dew. When I'm in the US I drink it pretty religiously if I can, but when I end up back in this backwater where there is no Mt Dew, I don't get any symptoms of withdrawal.

Then again, I would have at most two sodas a day.

I went without drinking a coke for a summer-- just diet pepsi and dr. pepper. and I had a coke and realized just how amazing it is.

You people who guzzle drinks down constantly can't appreciate them fully. They should be a treat, not a staple.

[SammieBabe]

Yup. I'm an addict. I've quit twice but, I don't feel like doing it again...

[Jebus]

Yup, I'm addicted. Can't sleep, I'm paranoid, I think so fast I can't concentrate, etc.

Can't quit either. If I try to quit I get depressed, lethargic, and my whole body hurts.


smurfing caffiene. I love it so much...

[Vincent, Thunder God]

I rarely have pop. It's way too unhealthy... when I do drink some Coke I have C2. Instead of having regular calorific Coke, or the much-dreaded Diet Coke (tastes horrible) it's a mix of both, and it actually tastes better than regular Coke.

[Dreddz]

You know, Soda/Pop shouldnt be bad enough for someone to consider quiting them. Its not killing you. Just brush your teeth.

[Venom]

I'm very addicted to soda, Because it tastes good.

[Rengori]

I'm trying to cut back on it, but to no avail.

[Hambone]

I'm addicted to SODA. I love it and don't see a problem with it.

[Elite Lord Sigma]

Soda is more of a once in a while thing for me.
