I drink a ton of water. Occasionally, I'll drink "fizzy" water (Klarbrunn). I rarely, if ever, drink soda, and if I do it's something without caffeine (Sprite/7-Up). Once in a great while I'll make some lemonade (from scratch). But, we even water down our juice. Once you get used to it, it's pretty easy. But, I did crave Diet Coke for at least a year.
