Re: Well, I broke down and got myself some Diet Pepsi this week.

I used to be a Diet Pepsiaholic but I've attempted to cut out a lot of my caffeine so I no longer buy it (I used to drink tons everyday).  Now, I only have it (or Diet Coke) w/ a meal at a restaurant.  I do buy Diet Sunkist and have a tiny amount every day.  I also have Diet Rootbeer a couple of times a week with my evening meal.

I generally drink flavored seltzer, but I probably have a diet/caffeine-free Pepsi once or twice a week.

Pepsi with real sugar, 1 can a day that I don’t quite finish cuz I know I shouldn’t be drinking it at all.

None. I don't even remember the last time I drank soda. Probably when I was a teenager. All I drink is water. I drink a little oj, lemonade or hot chocolate every once in a while. I had 2 hot chocolate's over the winter.

I am addicted to original Coke; think I could live on it.

Re: Well, I broke down and got myself some Diet Pepsi this week.

I used to love Diet Pepsi Vanilla but it was discontinued.  Then Pepsi made a cola with half the sugar of regular Pepsi but that was discontinued too.  Haven't liked a soda very much since, so I don't have it very often now and I don't miss it.  

 

I make my own iced tea at home and that's what I drink mostly.

I'm surprised no one has referenced the dangers of aspertame...bad news - had to give up diet drinks.

Growing up we didn't have soda guess it was too expensive but Mom made kool aid and watched her pouring in the sugar. I think kool aid probably has more sugar in it than soda.

Re: Well, I broke down and got myself some Diet Pepsi this week.

Years ago when we ate out a lot I always ordered Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi.  Didn't drink it often at home.  For the last 5+ years I quit and now in restaurants have iced tea or water.  At home I drink coffee for breakfast and often lunch.  I also like the LaCroix drinks and have them at home, but not every day.
