Done with Coca Cola!

Water and unsweetened tea for me!

IU cut waaaaay back on my soda drinking....now it's a treat! I find that flavored seltzer waters are better for my thirst!

I like Brawndo too!

Reggie - you are taking in a LOT of caffeine, and it's a diuretic! Wouldn't surprise me if you are dehydrated. About 70% of North Americans are, and don't even know it.

Plus, all the caffeine can artificially raise your metabolism, as it's a stimulant. Maybe try easing down to very little caffeine, as this can really mess up your health (for one, your heart would be beating faster than it really should be).

Look up 'caffeine' on Google and see what you find out.

I do my best not to drink soda. I usually only drink soda when i'm at a restaurant and they dont have sweet tea. and at home I usually drink water

I used to drink Diet Coke all the time. I have one every once in a while if I dine out. But for the most part I now drink only water and one cup of coffee a day.

My best friend is hooked on Tab. She tried quitting but the headaches were horrible.

Did you know that if you scrub your tires with it, it gets them sparkling clean. Can you imagine what it does to your stomach???

The lining of your stomach is powerful enough to repel your stomach acid, which is strong enough to burn through solid steel. Tab aint nothing compared to that! lol

In May 2001, I woke up one day and grabbed my morning coke like always. EWWW! It tasted terrible, like acid. I poured it out and when I got to work I bought one from the machine, thinking mine at home had just gone sour. Nope, same reaction. After a half dozen "EWWW" reactions, I stopped trying. I did not drink soda (Coke!) for 7 months.

Good luck on your "no more coke" lifestyle. It sucked me back in... lol.
I keep thinking that maybe I will quit again.

I don't drink sodas, coffee or tea. Haven't since 1995. Back in 2002 when my Dad had surgery I decided to get a Mountain Dew to see if the caffiene would help me get through the long day. OMG, I thought I was having a heart attack because my heart started pounding so hard. The nurses had me sit and rest while checking my BP and heart rate. For a while I couldn't figure out what it was and then I remembered drinking that soda.

Water and milk are about all I drink with the exception of fruit juice now and then and of course my favorite treat - a Sonic strawberry slush.

I'm pretty much hopelessly addicted to any carbonated soda.

I'm pretty much hopelessly addicted to any carbonated soda.

Same here. I try to limit myself to 1 soda a day because I know I need to lose about 20 pounds. I know if I quit, it would probably come off pretty easy, but I cant. I hate the carbonated flavored waters, so there's not much else that I can drink. I hate diet sodas, coffee, flavored waters, and lots of other things. I also use the coke to combat migraines when they first attack, so I really am hopelessly addicted.

Well done on giving it up!

I can see how you can find the taste so repelling after a break - when I turned vegetarian at 8 years old, at first I found it so hard to resist the hotdogs and burgers and all the other junk foods kids eat. After a while, though, the thought of eating meat became as normal to me as eating rocks.

I personally drink too much caffeine, mainly from coffee. Thing is, weather is always so murky over here that I always feel like having a hot drink! I do drink some carbonated drinks, particularly diet coke, but not that often.

Not exactly repel; the stomach is coated in mucus, but as quickly as the acid has dissolved that mucus, it's already been replaced. No doubt though that sugary drinks knacker your teeth!

I remember seeing a programme which described coke as being a criminal's best friend - able to remove blood stains from a crime scene!
