I drink way too many soft drinks and I'm the first to admit it. I drink water too but not nearly enough. My favorite soft drink is Diet Dr. Pepper. If I make a list of the ones next to that they would be:
Diet Pepsi
Diet Sierra Mist
Diet Mountain Dew
I am a diabetic so I have to drink the sugar free drinks. But to me Diet Dr. Pepper has always tasted pretty much like the regular one with sugar.
There has been a new one I noticed that just came out called Diet Coke with vitamins and minerals. I have tried it and it taste pretty good too, almost like a regular coke, but my all time favorite is still
Diet Dr. Pepper.

Hi SheliaLee,
I can't drink diet sodas because the aspertame makes me feel sick to my stomach. I dont smoke or drink so a nice cold Dr.Pepper is my "guilty pleasure" for the day lol. Well, that and ice cream with summer coming. A friend of mine is diabetic and she too doesn't like the aspertame taste and said that Diet 7 Up is really good, just a suggestion.

That's great that more drinks are being made with Splenda! As I said though a nice cool glass of Dr.Pepper is my "guilty pleasure" for the day! I limit myself to just one glass a day though because of how much sugar is in one glass.

Hi PurpleTeddyBear!
I am trying to get away from the drinks with Aspertame in them because I hear more and more bad reports about that ingredient. I have been drinking lately more Diet Rite flavored drinks because they are all made with Splenda and it is supposed to be better for diabetics. Ever once in a while I'll drink a diet 7up. :)

Hi a_ce_e! I wish I could drink the regular drinks with sugar but I'm not supposed to LOL. I really like regular Pepsi and sometimes a regular Coke if there doesn't happen to be any diet drinks around. :)

I'm addicted to soft drinks and I drink them too much. My favorite is Coka Cola and Pepsi. I could honestly drink about 6-7 cans a day (if not more). I tried to cut back while I was pregnant but it was VERY difficult. I actally had withdrawls when I didn't drink my soda for the day.

I'm addicted to them myself Melissa, I would be telling a fib if I said different. I'm trying to drink more water but it is difficult because water just doesn't quench my thirst at all, even when it is good and cold.

I don't drink too many sodas. When I do, I like Mountain Dew. I usually drink Powerade.

I buy Powerade too. My husband drinks a lot of that while he is on his job. He is out in the heat a lot and keeps plenty to drink so he won't dehydrate.

I like ginger ale in punch or something like that. I was getting ready to have a test done at the hospital a few years ago and had to drink ginger ale and that sort of turned me against it, Ha! Ha!

I normally only drink water but every now and again I like to drink soft drinks, although I too only drink the diet versions, the normal ones taste too sweet for me.
My favourites are diet caffine free Coke and diet Sprite.

My favorite use to be vanilla pepsi but since I started Weight Watchers I drink diet mountian dew. I also drink way too many, I hate the taste of plain water. But recently I found Crystal Light, Morning Sunrise I believe is the name. I drink this more than soda now. There is only one complaint I have.. it is so expensive. I don't understand why things that are healthier for you have to cost so dang much!

You are right about that! Even the store brands of soft drinks and water that is diet or low fat has gone up in prices.

While growing up I lived on Pepsi I could never stand the taste of Coke. A few years back when I first found out I was a diabetic I switched over to drinking Diet Pepsi. I have tried Diet Dr Pepper and Diet Mountain Dew but I thought that they both tatsed too sweet. These days I don't drink any soda. I have gone to just drinking water.

Water is the best thing for any of us to drink. I'm going to have to make myself start drinking more of it. It just doesn't seem to ever quench my thirst.

I was very font of soft drinks once upon a time. But I totally stopped it for the last 4 months.
That was because of the national pathological lab report saying that all the soft drinks contains pesticides beyond permissible levels.
Also there is a accusation that the soft drink companies are shifting their manufacturing base time to time because they use the water from borewell. Thereby endangering the eco system of that area. The residents of that area does not get drinking water after they depart because all the water they have consumed.

I don't drink soft drink too much maybe once a week or sometimes ocassionally. My parents told me before when I was a kid its not good for the health and now I know it's true so I told also to my children my daughters too dont drink softdrink lucky for them that they don't want too. I also read some article about softdrink the 8oz of softdrink is equall to one glass full of sugar. Imagine that sugar lolz. But of course we have different taste and wants.
