Shaking The Softdrink Drinking Habit

That would really be a nicedevelopment. A lot of people are having a hard time shaking off their addiction to soda. Soda is never health, everybody knows of that! Water is much better alternative and it cost much cheaper than softdrinks.

Of course you should welcome such development.. Its for your family especially for your sOns.. I can understand that because same thing happened to me.. I was then very fond of drinking softdrinks/soda But then lately i found myself always craving for a cold water.. I loved the way water refreshed me.. and Its like I am starting to hate softdrinks.. :-) congrats to us!

Yes I try to not have soft drinks in our home, mostly water or juice. Now and then when we dine out I let my son have sprite and juice but most of the time its water juice or sometimes snapps ice tea in the fridge.

My son would drink alot of soda, but lately he has changed to iced tea...which is better for him..Hopefully he will go to water but at least he isn't drinking soda..

Oh, that kind of change would be very welcome. Currently I live with my parents, sister, brother, and my brother's wife.. and they all drink soda except my brother. I have cold turkey dropped drinking sodas for a long time, but I do allow myself to have a pepsi when I either have pizza, which isn't often, or when I would like one when we go out to dinner or something, which also isn't often, but I usually get tea, or water when out. My sister keeps making excuses of why she should drink sprite instead of pepsi, cause she used to drink pepsi, but she can't now, because of caffine, or something health related. She wants in her mind to stop drink pepsi, when to me it'd be easier to drop the whole soda drinking, because either way.. shes still drinking it. She wants to stop.. but its she won't. I had surgry recently to get my appendix removed... and for awhile I wasn't able to do much, and didn't care if I had a soda, but today, I decided to stop again. I consider soft drinks a extra 100+ calories i'm probably not going to burn, so why drink it. . I usually sit at the computer all day.. so why add that extra amount..

In the summer i drink alot of water. I feel water is alot better for you then a soft drink is. I do drink a diet pepsi here and there. But mostly water. My kids love to drink water. Now my husband on the other hand drinks alot of mountain dew.

Yes, sometimes it would be a relief. My husband likes to drink soft drinks and he will drink it once a week. At one time he will drink a large bottle of 1.5 litre in one or two sitting. I am worried about this habit. I've been telling him to stop. Now he seems to reduce his habit. He only buys from a can and no longer a big bottle. That's an improvement which I would very much welcome.

I never liked the soda drinks much anyway.But my husband used to drink lots of coca cola before our daughter was born.After she was born however,he reduced it and now it is completely gone.That is mainly because my daughter now asks for coke whenever she sees us drink coke.I donot want het to get habituated to coke at this young age(she is only 3).But I do welcome the change.All my efforts to get him to reduce his amounts of coke had failed but my daughter came along and he got rid of the habit which is very good for me.I am more concerned as his family has a history of diabetes and we need to be careful too.

This is wonderful! Although an occasional soda tastes refreshing, especially in the summertime, most sodas not only lack nutrition, but are actually harmful to good health, in my opinion. Congratulations!

I do admit... the only thing I can't have water with... is Pizza..... I don't have pizza often though, its kinda rare that we go out for it.
