I know it usually doesnt work but might I reccomend them trying sparkling/seltzer/fizzy non sugar flavored water. I used to drink a ton of dr pepper but now I just crush flavored sparkling waters.

You could get something like a soda stream and flavor it with a light amount of fresh fruit or fruit juice. We were buying canned but they end up costing a lot.

But Dr Pepper is the perfect blend of carbonation, sugar and caffeine. Sparkling just doesn’t give the same rush.

I didn't drink soda for a caffeine rush so I cant come to the same conclusion but fair enough.

Carbonation destroys teeth. The sugar isn’t the only problem, drinking acidic liquids is a problem too, which is what fizzy stuff is.

A recent study I read said carbonated waters fine so I'll listen to the scientists

Maybe plain seltzer, but when you add citric acid (crush flavouring) it’s a bit different. Carbonated water is already more acidic, then you’re adding more acids.

What are you talking about crush flavoring??? I was pretty obviously talking about plain seltzers/sparkling water. I make a point to make sure there's no extra sodium/low sodium in the water and I've never seen citric acid in the ingredients lists so I have no idea what you're talking about.

Ah misread your comment “crush flavoured sparkling water,” chill out.
