I found a really great article that can help with the soda pop addiction that quite a few of us most certainly have. If you're looking to quit the pop cold turkey, or just cut back, there are some wonderful idea in the article to get you through.
I used to be a heavy cola drinker (somewhere between 2 to 4 cans a day) and I decided that for me, cola was ok in moderation but drinking it daily in the amounts that I was just wasn’t a healthy habit.
I found the trick to kicking the soda pop addiction was finding a replacement beverage that satisfied both the convenience and taste factor.
What I most liked about drinking soda was that it was nice and cold, easy to grab and go and had some “texture” to it (the carbonated beverage). Although I like a bit of fruit juice, it was too “syrupy” for me to find it satisfying as a main beverage and plain water wasn’t doing it either. Here’s a replacement beverage that worked for me:
Healthy Soda Pop Replacement
Keep a jug of water refrigerated at all times. It has to be prepared fresh daily or sealed well because once it tastes a bit stale, you’re turned off of it for awhile.
Squeeze fresh lemon or lime juice in the water, as much as you like, tossing in the just squeezed fruit wedges too.

My husband's favorite drink is cold refrigerated tap water with a bit of line juice. Well, that and a bottle of TGIF dark beer. :)
