please help me! i miss my soda!

[blueeyedbum]

Coke Zero, or caffine free diet coke for me, Once in a while Diet Mug Rootbeer. The change takes awhile to get used to. I quit switching back and forth to the sugar stuff and now I prefer it.

If you are the kind of guy that likes to make his own. I would say check out his link to a recipe using Stevia a sugar substitute.

Delicious Sugar Substitute Recipes using Stevia Extract In The Raw

Stock up on seltzer water and your favorite flavorings and be the master of your own soda domain.

For centuries, the Guaraní tribes of Paraguay and Brazil used stevia, which they called ka'a he'ê ("sweet herb"), as a sweetener in yerba mate and medicinal teas for treating heartburn and other ailments. More recent medical research has shown promise in treating obesity and hypertension. Stevia has a negligible effect on blood glucose, even enhancing glucose tolerance; therefore, it is attractive as a natural sweetener to diabetics and others on carbohydrate-controlled diets.
Possible treatment of osteoporosis has been suggested by observations that eggshell breakage can be reduced by 75% by adding a small percentage of stevia leaf powder to chicken feed, and that pigs given 2% stevia leaf powder in their feed experienced a doubling of serum calcium.

Diet Coke and Diet Dr. Pepper. My favorites in the non-caffeinated variety are Diet A&W Root Beer and Diet Sunkist Orange or Sparkling Lemonade.

Diet Caffiene Free Pepsi,,,,Diet Dr. Pepper,,Diet AW Root beer. There is something about the non caffiene colas that make them better and there is more "fizz" to them.

I moved from reg. soda to Coke Zero. Drank that for a few days and just said screw it and stopped drinking soda. Though I have been trying to figure out how i'm going to mix my rum drinks now.

I still crave sodas damnit, been a month. I go though phases on this.. I'll stop drinking, then something happens (ie: lots of stress) and I start again...

I don't need to drink diet soda...ok ok well some people may say I should hahahaha,
but I have been drinking it since the late 80's for the taste believe it or not. I really hate those sugary sodas (coke made with sugar in my opinion).
I am drinking Canada Dry Diet Ginger Ale and think it is GREAT, and is really good with a cigar.
It's very...."clean"

I very rarely drink sodas of any type, sugared or not. It's a personal choice and not (yet) a medical issue. I do drink sugared iced tea however, so I'm not all sugar-free. Most of the time I drink water and these...
