    What do you drink then? I would love to give up soda, but find I just need the bubbles and the flavor etc.

    I gave up soda almost 3 years ago. I never drink it for fun or enjoyment. In fact, the only times I buy it is a can of Dr. Pepper as a *ahem* chaser for certain strong shots. That's the only times, other than that I never touch it nor miss it. Just an adjustment I suppose!

    Try some plain natural sparkling water with a squeeze of lemon or lime. I love it.

    Seltzer. You get the bubbles and it comes in flavors. It has no sugar, no sodium . . . . nothing. It's just sparkly bubbly yummy goodness.

    I'm not a fan of soda. I don't particularly like the way it tastes. The only time I actually crave it is if I'm really, really thirsty. I used to use it as a mixer when I drank alcohol but now I just use plain soda water. Tastes so much better!

    Soda is brilliant. I have no problems with any type of soda at all. As long as its in moderation. As with any food or drink source.

    This falls into the "requires more study" category.
    Also requires more study: Increase of shark attacks when ice cream stands open on the beach...

    I agree with "everything causes cancer". I mean, even sunshine causes cancer if not kept in moderation. I once even read that cranberry sauce causes cancer....if you were to eat a bathtub full of it. I am sure that soda has some sort of effect on the body and that it isn't in a good way. But let's use our brains and be the grown ups we are. Moderation in all things, and stay away from things that cause you to be addicted. Especially if you are dieting and trying to change bad habits! :)

    Yep! We can also kill ourselves by drinking too much water. Too much of anything is no good it seems.

    *sips my cherry Coke Zero*


    Now, what is it that you were saying?

    *whispers about her undying love for diet cherry vanilla Dr. Pepper*

    I really need to get off these boards and go the store...
