    Green tea with a pinch of chilli flakes - that has a kick! I didn't like green tea at first, but now I like it, I have it fairly weak, and a couple of dried chilli flakes will give you a tingle! No fizz, but it might be worth a shot?

    No ideas on kicking the soda habit tho - I tend to drink it very rarely ...

    I went cold turkey when cutting out sodas. I now drink MOSTLY water and some teas and other non-carbonated things. I suggest trying Crystal Light, or even club soda with lemon or lime squeezed into it. That way you still get your fizz but with a little bit of flavor and really none of the bad stuff (my sister drinks club soda all the time but no other soda and works for her).

    I have gotten to the point where I can drink one soda every once in a while and that will cure my soda fix for a while. But I really only want them in the summer when it gets really hot! lol.

    There are a lot worse things to have an addicton to than 2 diet sodas a day IMO!!! I enjoy my diet Coke. I drink one a day and I feel it less of an addiction and more of something I enjoy!! I've never seen any negative effects.

    I agree. One a day? No biggie.
