I know that I could not, I have tried giving up soft drinks because they are bad for you. I find that my addiction to them is not healthy, I drink about 3 Dr. Peppers a day and 1 Mega Monster a day. So could you live without soft drinks ?

I don't drink soda regularly. When I do, it's for caffeine, which I prefer getting from tea or coffee anyways. So yes, I could give them up.

Easily. However, I'd find more difficulty abstaining from various coffee and espresso related drinks. I even make said drinks as a barista for one of my jobs. :oops:

I quit drinking soft drinks for 10 years or more, so yeah, I guess I could. But I don't want to. Within the past 10 years or so also I've started back drinking them. Averaging around 3-4 daily now. That's a history of my past 20 years of drinking soft drinks.

I love them but I normally only have 1 or 2 a day. I try to keep it to 1 but I tend to have more.

Very easily, don't get me wrong, I drink Dr. Pepper sometimes and I like it.

But I can easily not drink it, I drink maybe a 2 Gallon Soda once every Month-1 1/2 months.

I can go without soda.

Yeah, I could.

I rarely drink them. Mostly just when I go out to a restaurant, which isn't too often.

Yes.

Water = MAGIC POTION

I stopped drinking soft drinks 5 years back ever since Jujimufu said that they were no more than "piss water" for the body. He's right.

No. I am addicted to the carbonation that soft drinks give. If I was told I could only live on diet, non-caffeinated soft drinks though I would be just fine, though possible a little disappointed.

Yes, was a lot easier than I thought it would be, was effortless and just kinda happened. I know this will sound ridiculous but I can't even drink a full can of coke any more, It just feels so wrong... like i'm just shovelling spoons of sugar into my mouth.

Yes, I only drink sugar free anyway and those taste like crap compared to the real deal. I'd miss it for sure but I'd adapt I guess...

Absolutely. At the moment I drink about 1 soft drink every 1 to 2 weeks. I could go without.

But I doubt it's the soft drinks themselves you are addicted to, but rather the caffeine in them.

Wow. I mean, I enjoy a good monster once in awhile if I am staying up late, but doesn't that make you feel like crap all the time?

I stopped drinking them probably 7-8 years ago. I just prefer water, or freshly squeezed fruit juice, not the store bought crap.

This. It's been six years no-soda for me. I sometimes have one on special occasions, but my soda consumption is something like six cans per year. If that.
