1 year since having any pop! not even a sip!


Recommended Posts

Just drink lots of water if your dehydrated, it's many many times better than a cola or what ever.

I find it pretty fascinating & some what odd that people can't stop drinking soft drinks. I guess I know alot of people who might be like that, just never really thought about it.

When I stopped did try regular water but I find it doesn't really quench my thirst (I can go through 3-4L easily and still feel thirsty). Plus the water in my building at work is nasty so i would have to bring bottles. Maybe when we move to our new building next year I'll try water again

good for you.

when i was a kid i use to drink 6-12 cans a day of soda. for Y2K (year 2000) i decided my new years resolution would be to not drink soda for a whole year. well i did it. and i was actually very proud so for 2001 i did the same thing. and every year since :p

only times i DO have some soda is when its a mixed drink.. like jack and coke :)

but mainly just water, juices, milk or beer is what i drink.

... ohh and havent been to the dentist in ~ 5 years

I've been trying to quit but always went back to it. Longest i went without pop was like 2-4 weeks. It's cheap(that's the main reason)

thanks everyone soooo muuuuch! ^_^

yeah my sister's so hooked on it she drinks like 3 2L worth a day she's starting to have the same problems I did so shes weaning off it as well.

They call it pop in Minnesota, but not in Colorado.

I'm in WV on the border of it and OH and they call it a mix of everything, I've heard pop,soda,coke,and sometimes "bubbly"....

Bubbly? That's a new one for me. :)

I gave it up the summer two years ago or so, after I found a sugarless water soluble drink I like, maybe even better. After about half a year I did star drinking cola again on weekends though since my GF also drinks cola. So no we drink one or two bottles on the weekend(1.5l shared). Which I think is the best solution, i ge some good cola on the weekends, and I'm not drinking 1.5 l a day anymore. Quitting altogether makes little sense.

Hell yeah!

I did this through 2011. Now I ONLY have fizzy drinks when I go out to a restaurant or something.

Well done to you. It was a great challenge for me.

Addicted to pop ?

:laugh: I thought this thread was about Alcohol

Seriously? I can see why drinking too much would be bad for someone, but addicted ?

Aspartame is probably the only bad thing in certain diet pops

I've largely quit drinking pop/soda/whatever years ago. Because the 2-litres-of-Coke-a-day habit I used to have was a) very unhealthy and b) I decided it was time to stop the horizontal expansion.

Having lost about 20 kg since last summer I'd say it was a good idea.

Congrats. In the last 6 months, I've moved from about 4 a day to about 1 a week (usually when I go out for lunch on Wednesday). I still crave the taste, but I feel much better.

I only drink coke when someone has visited my home and the bottle is half empty. (someone needs to finish what they started...)

Other than that, I only drink water, coffee, fruit juice and tea. (in that order)
