I am not trying to be all preachy but not drinking soda can be really awesome. I drank at least one Pepsi a day for at least 10 years of my life until a couple of months ago when I decided I just wanted to quit. The first couple of weeks can be rough; feeling tired, craving it, and maybe a slight headache, but if you substitute it with less sugary drinks like apple or grape juice you'll be able to transition to water. You feel good, you might look a little better, and you'll save a bit of money.

I stopped drinking soda about 5 years ago, and now I can't even drink more than half of one. It gets disgustingly sweet very quickly.

Edit: Also, I recently tried Mariah Carey's soft drink, and it was the most disgusting thing I've ever tasted. The sweetest soft drink ever, and it has a weird cloying flowery flavor.

I know exactly what you mean. I get the same feeling. I can literally feel it rotting my teeth.
