yuck! I can't drink soft drinks at all now I stopped drinking them when I was in 11 and haven't had once since. (at the time i was doing a lot of sports and realized they were slowing me down.) i still like my sweet tea though i'll never give that up!!!!

but really though- how do you drink the diet stuff? i still remember what dr. pepper tastes like and i haven't had one if ages! (i went through a month of "soda withdrawl" when i stopped drinking soft drinks- i was a total heifer the first week.

I actually was addicted to DP in 7th grade and I broke myself of it then, but I apparently have fallen right back in the trap

now sweet tea, that I think is nasty I drink iced straight up as I call it, no sugar no lemon. I can drink a gallon of that at one sitting too.

on a more serious note, I do consume large quanities of beverages and I had myself tested for diabetes in the spring and my sugar levels came back as perfectly normal- go figure

Well if its sugar free- then ENJOY!

Just quit cold turkey -that's what i did (errr i would warn those around you that you might be a little "tense" if you do though i was horrible the first few weeks i quite drinking soft drinks when i was younger. that stuff really messes you up too- i felt sooo much better once it was all out of my system! ) I think sweet tea may be more of a southern thing - i like a nice cup of hot tea too - now that's sooo good! (i'm a little obsessed with my tea- i have my own little "tea cabinent" - a whole side of a cabinet devoted just to my teas )

hey, I quit smoking at the beginning of the year, don't drink (alcohol) that much, I gotta have one vice! well, besides obsessively collecting cats, but that's beside the point! DP is my indulgence, along with jelly beans- full sugar jelly beans I have issues

Haha, Pepsi is all i drink and I drink it all day long I always have for some odd reason I wasnt a koolaide kid I wanted wat my mom was drinking and that was that But ya it all really depends on what I eat, if it makes me really thirsty that 2 liter is gone quickly like within an hour Luckily tho I guess since thats all i drink and ive drank it for so long I dont get hyper off of it at all Thank goodness

I was gonna say I'd be peeing every 5 minutes or more!!

All of that caramel colouring in there would have me chained to the toilet! LOL

Research has shown that diet drinks are seriously addictive - I think it is the aspartamine or suger substitute, and there can be serious side effects. My friend went through it and had an awful difficulty in giving up. So it is not a joke to drink them like that. Do try and give them up - go for sparkly water with a drop of pure lemon or orange oil - very thirst quenching and harmless.

I love regular pepsi..but I can't even buy it or it will be gone!

Well so far out of everyone that has posted here, I hold the record. A 2L bottle of root beer in less than 15 minutes . Don't as me how I did it because I have no idea. I was really thirsty when I did it but still I don't think I was that thirsty. Ever since then, I don't drink much for soda. I have a can of Pepsi every once in a while but no more 2L bottles in one day
