I've finally cut soda out of my diet completely. And I can echo Dogstile, cold turkey is not the way to go. You will be irritable and have constant headaches. Now I drink unsweetened tea once a day, sometimes twice, and my body seems to be adjusting to the lower caffeine intake.

[MaximumZero]

If you're still going, I fully recommend you don't quit cold turkey. I did that and it was horrible, my head was hurting constantly, I was angry at everything, my hands were shaky and I was having nightmares all the time, which just made me angrier. It was awful, doable, but awful.

I did the cold turkey bit already, but to be fair, alcohol was harder. I'm allowing myself a couple of pops a week, but I mostly limit it to only when I eat at a restaurant. I can happily go a whole week+ with no pop. It's analogous to my battle with alcohol; I went cold turkey after a severe alcohol addiction, and now I allow myself a couple of drinks every now and again, and my addiction to that hasn't flared up, either.

Because it's my thread, I'll necro it.

I had a 44oz Dew today, because my day was fucklong. Seriously.

Anyway, I took a drink, and all was normal. The second mouthful, however, tasted like a steaming pile of boiled ass and livers, gave me terrible heartburn, and made me nauseated. Pretty sure that my brain and stomach shared a "WTF!?" moment and rebelled against me.

I usually drink a 1.25 liter (42 oz) soda at work every day. Then I drink about 3-5 cans of soda when I get home, because I'm used to drinking beer, and now I can't, so I drink soda like it's going out of style. So, you're doing good.

Well, the last pop I had was a roughly 8oz cherry coke during my "date" on wednesday. Before that, it was a 12oz dew on saturday. I have roughly one normal sized pop every three to four days, nowadays.

I wound up powering through that 44oz-er, by the way. It feels like blurgh in my stomach.

[Hanslanda]

Yeah, usually I wake up and my throat feels scorched from the acid in the soda, but I don't care because I've done much worse to myself. I just worry about my teeth.

I stick to 335mLs of Coke or Ginger Ale, that works better. Your pop consumptions osund unhealthy.

For reference, 44oz is 1301ml.

So I drink like...

2188ml a day. Or about two thousand calories worth of soda a day.

Cocaine.

But seriously, I have the metabolism of a severely overactive shrew. I get hungry while I'm eating.

become an alcoholic!

Been there, done that, got over it cold turkey. Did the same with caffeine, and now this is just kind of an ongoing journalish-thing with a "whenever I post" updating schedule.

Also, I had an energy drink today (Cherry NOS). Heartburn again. Didn't get the blurgh feeling that I got from the dew.

become some sort of addict to something!

aside from facepunching, that is.

Well, I'm not going to give that up.

...The Watchmen would have been a lot different with me as Rorschach. For starters, I would've immediately turned the Comedian into meat-paste, my friends' opinion of me be damned.
