    I just drink water. I do buy those drink mix powders at Walmart you put in bottled water. I might drink that once a week.

    Yes I drink those too...maybe 2 a day

    I drink coke zero, or the store brand version. We have a pitcher of Crystal Light at the house made at all times. I get those ~sparkling flavoured water - zero calories, they're like flavoured 7up? but in different flavours. I know wal mart, and Safeway have store brands of them.

    Whatever, water is great but I don't enjoy drinking it. I don't mind water with lemon, or something. I try to drink 5 glasses a day. 8 just isn't something I can do. I had a bad experience with water when I was young - I'm sure that sounds irrational but I was forced to chug bottles of water and it made me sick. Older siblings are awesome.

    I just discovered a flavored sparkling water that is seriously delicious. It comes in Pink Grapefruit, Orange Mango, Lemon Lime, and a couple of other flavors. It is made by Sparkling Ice, here is a link to it on Amazon (warning: it isn't cheap):

    I absolutely love this stuff. My local supermarket, Giant, carries it, but for the same price - about $1 a bottle. But I seriously recommend it, it has no artificial sweeteners and tastes basically like a soda.

    Why do people keep saying this drink doesn't have artificial sweeteners? I checked them out at my supermarket and they do.

    Are there different versions of this drink???

    I just discovered Dr. Pepper 10. So so yummy. I was thinking that maybe that was better than the diet sodas since all you hear know is that they are bad. Also a fan of coke zero. I haven't had one in about a week now. Just trying to up my water intake. Also I am a huge coffee drinker. So that's about all I'm drinking everyday. Don't really have need for the sodas right now.

    I guess if were gonna drink sodas it's probably better to just bite the bullet and have the 140 cals or whatever it is. But then we have those millions of teaspoons of sugar to deal with ugh!

    I've given up soda completely, although I never drank anything but ginger ale with any regularity. I'm a big fan of water. When I need to, I spice up the flavor with a splash of juice. I also steer clear of recovery drinks. Instead, I'll drink skim white or (my fav) chocolate milk after a workout.

    Hi everyone. I'm new today, first post. I quit drinking pop almost a year ago. If, I get the craving once in awhile, I drink Zevia. It's sweetened with natural plant sweetner Stevia. I have had bad reactions such as migraines, muscle pain from Splenda and aspartame. Selzter water is good too, it comes in a can and you can mix it with equal parts fruit juice.

    Remember we dont have to eat things that are "good" for us all the time! Just like we dont have to avoid everything that is "bad" for us all the time!

    Sometimes we eat things that are "bad" for us, just because they taste good! The key is not to overdo it, and you can have whatever you want!
