    try adding lemon, lime, cucumber, watermelon slices for variety. Delish and refreshing. I haven't had soda in dozens of years. I also purchased a Soda Stream fizzy water maker. LOVE it and drink 2 liters a day. Had to get more bottles cause hubby now downs as much as I do AND they have natural flavor syrups that make all kinds of fun flavors. Soooo worth the money and no plastic water bottles to throw out (idiots in MA don't recycle PLAIN water bottles - but they do recycle pop bottles - go figure?)

    Try plain club soda with some lime. It's just water with bubbles.
    I can't drink plain water. I hate it. Abhor it. I have a water filter at home and I use the Crystal Light or Dasani flavor drops. It's the only way I can drink it and I get a minimum of 6 cups a day in.

    If you're like me, within a few months you won't be able to stomach soda at all after a while. I haven't had a soda in years because the last time I did it tasted like industrial chemicals and made my chest hurt.

    I am used to migranes. (I have brain tumors caused from a genetic Iillness). That is going to be the hard part. Coke (I hate coffee and tea) is the only thing I enjoy that I get caffeine from. About three times a week I am laying all day on the couch throwing up because I hurt so bad. Thus far I have found no meds that help. I have been to the er and they injected me with 5 meds before the migranes would go away.
