Ever tried to give up soda?


Recommended Posts

Interesting...how much did you smoke out of curiousity?

Usually a pack a day, Camel Wides or Marlboro Blend 27s. Sometimes Newports, sometimes Lucky Strikes. So, I suppose you'd say some of the harder blends.

Well I drink probably 6-7 cans a day, not a lot. However it's been just over 24 hours since I had one, and I have had a terrible headache all day.

LOL! not a lot?!? that's an insane amount man... not if you compare it to the "american" standard but still... any doctor will tell you your nuts to drink that much soda. :)

...BUT congradulation for stopping! never to late ;P

for the side effect.. it's kind of normal. The headaches comes from the fact that you consumption of sugar has drastically decreased. Everything should be ok in a few weeks. If you want to help yourself, drink some water.

BTW, just a reminder that any other soft drinks are has bad for you has soda. I'm talking here of: ice tea, juice made from concentrate, etc. They contains somethimes more sugar than coca cola or pepsi.

Get a full glass of real orange juice (not from concentrate) in the morning and this should be enough for a day. For the rest of the day you should drink water! water! water!

Your saying that you drink a lot of tea... that's not bad for you if you don't abuse! Not the same for coffee and ice tea!

aight! get well! :p

I rarely ever drink soda; the only sodas I ever do drink are Creme Soda and Orange Soda (both are normally caffeine free). My addiction is Kool-Aid! :D

I only drink about 2 pops a week. Some times less :o sometimes i will turn one down when i dont feel like one. My favorite is root beer. I usually drink ice tea though :).

I haven't personally had any soft-drink since 2001. I think it tastes horrible.

I sure did. After soda's started giving me kidney stones I pretty much had to quit. It's all water for me now! ;) Believe me when I say that once you get started on water, you crave it.

I have also found that if I drink a bottle real fast, It'll give me a slight buzz. seriously.

I gave it up not too long ago... the headaches take a bit longer than a day to go away (maybe a week or so). I stopped because I thought being addicted to anything couldn't be too good, and also because it was just as expensive as smoking. Now I drink a lot of orange juice (I hate water). Also, when I did drink coke I would stop a few hours before going to bed so that I could get a decent amount of sleep, but since I've stopped I can't get more than 4 hours a night.

weird that you don't drink it now considering your username :p

I've tried getting hooked on water.

I just never really liked the taste all that much.

a slight buzz? :laugh:

I love coke but I try not to drink it toooo much. Probably like 1 can day average.

I used to drink more but 6-7 cans of drink a day must surely be terrible for your stomach.

Worse than smoking even?

From a guy named sodapop. HA!!

But anyways, when I went through basic training for the Army I didn't drink much pop. It didn't really bother me stopping so abruptly either. But after that was through, I went back to drinking as much as before. I just love the taste of Dr Pepper so much. I probably drink 3-4 cans a day, or a 44oz fountain drink. Some days or more, some are less.

i drink 3 doctor peppers a day. however, i keep an extra 6-pack buffer in the back of the fridge to make sure that i never run out. however i drink quite a bit of water, so its all good.

Edit: and i drink water at restaurants always. im not paying 3 bucks for a watered down piece of crap.

I heard something really strange earlier, if you drink a can of pop, drink the same amount i milk and it will cancel out the effect of pop. is that true?
