Beretta686 used to drink so many he was on their pro-staff.  I think he joined DA and is on the wagon now.

  Vernors ginger ale for me until I saw that there was 39 grams of sugar in each can.  I switched to unsweetened ice tea.

Soda's are very very very bad for you.  Not only is the sugar and preservatives in them hard on your body but there are many underlying problems that they can create that you are unaware of.  If someone is going to have a fetish with some kind of drink then drink a clear soda like a diet 7-up, diet sprite, diet ginger ale or a diet Sierr@  mist or any *diet* soda that is "clear" in color, NO CARMEL COLORINGS.  Dr. Pepper is one soda that is harder on the human body then all others.  I myself have gone from drinking at least 12 to 18 cans of diet coke a day 5 years ago (no kidding, I'm not exaggerating) to drinking nothing but bottled water or an occasion diet Sierr@  mist and some coffee in the morning.  "Moderation" is the key word to anything and Soda is a very addictive substance that can be harmful to your body when not used with *moderation*.

Good Post Bird. 

I was never a big soda drinker and just cut soda out of my diet 100% 4 years ago. 

Good luck quitting.

I've never been a huge soda drinker but do drink one or two every day.  I cut way back on the sugar this year and went to diet drinks.  I read that the aspartame in them can cause serious joint pain and seemed to be having a bit of that.  I now limit myself to one diet drink per day and sometimes one regular.
I drink a good bit of coffee and dropped the two teaspoons of sugar and along with some other painless modifictions have slowly and surely lost 14 pounds this year.

..."Moderation" is the key word to anything...

This....especially now that high fructose corn syrup has replaced real sugar in most sodas.

[mnturkey]

Coffee, a thermous full almost every day.
I have one Reeds Extra Ginger Ginger Brew every night or a Spreicfer (sp) Ginger Ale.
Depends on which I can get.

[misfire]

I drink one Dew a day, its actually really good with Jack Daniels too

[mossybird]

WOW I drink alot of Diet Coke myself 

[gun for hire]

Up until here recently, I was a Coke head.  Loved the stuff, but decided to make a switch.  I am a high school teacher and soccer coach.  It was hard to tell the players to lay off the sodas when I was chain drinking the things.  I got a metal water bottle and fill it up out of the water fountain every period.  But I can't stand the taste of the city water, so I started adding the Crystal Light single packets to the water.  The first 2 or 3 days was the hardest.  My body was going through caffeinne withdrawals.  After I struggled through those first couple of days, I don't crave the Coke anymore.  I also started shedding pounds like crazy due to cutting a lot of sugars out of my system.  In the first 2 months without soda, I lost nearly 25 pounds, and was doing nothing else special.  I have never felt better.  And as an added bonus, I am saving some $$$$.

I drink several cups of coffee throughout the day but make myself drink twice the volume of water before having another cup. I need to limit it to two cups. Good luck quitting those "dews". They are addicting.

Good friend of mine had stomach problems and a merriad of other symptoms stemming from his Dew addiction.  His father has always drank it by the gallon, so he came by it naturally.  Symptoms stopped when he quit drinking it.  He still has a few every now and again, but if he has too many, his symptoms come right back.

Its 12 oz of sweet wonderfullness, but its definitely hard on you.
