And don't call it pop!!!
I'm 45 years old and have been a soda addict pretty much my whole life. I try to kick it ever now and then, but it always comes back. Diet tastes nasty.
In this last year, however, the sugar started to mess with my health. Not in a bad way (yet) but soda would start making me feel sick. I've slowly switched to iced tea. Unsweetened doesn't taste very good, and sweet tea has just as much sugar as soda. I've finally found that I can mix just a bit of sweet tea and squirt a lemon into it and get a pretty satisfying drink with ~5g of sugar compared to the 45g in a can of soda.
Every now and then I'm in the mood for the fiz, and for that I drink flavored sparking water. It used to be disgusting, but I've gotten used to it.
So I've been soda free for ~4 months, the longest in my life. Yay me.
Side note: I'd always thought it was the caffeine that was messing me up. Turns out it was the sugar.
