I was able stop drinking pop fairly easily as a teen, but I still had problems with drinking other super sugary drinks like V8’s “fruit” juice or Simply Lemonade.
One thing I did was start drinking tea, particularly fruity flavors. Those are rather flavorful for teas and helped wean me off those other sugary drinks.
Plus with tea basically being flavored water, it made the jump to drinking straight up water even easier. I still drink tea, mind you, but I also drink a lot of straight water.
I joined football in high-school and that totally helped me get off so much soda by being so thirsty and all we had was this shopping cart the coaches rigged up with a hose with a bunch of holes so the team would just run there during our breaks and water never tasted so good. Then when I got older now I just stick to water coffee and beer or kombucha. Beer and kombucha are pricey or take a while to make so leaves room for a lot more water
Maybe it was pvc pipes with holes drilled out all around the top edge of the cart and they just plugged a hose into it depending on where in the field we were so we can get a big water fountain to all drink from
Soda is a sugary drink and you really should not consume it as the amount of sugar in many sodas is extremely high. The “in moderation” amount would basically be a sip.
The carbonation is also bad for you bones but it is not nearly as bad is drinking sugar water.
Um, I just drink water. It doesn’t matter that it is zero calories or salted. I have been to some places that have terrible water. In that case buy cheap bottled water so you don’t get lead poisoning
If it is hard for you to drink water, it might that the water you are drinking is of shitty quality.
I’m not saying you need to only buy Fiji or some other be water, but “spring water” usually tastes like shit when it is warm.
A good test is if the water tastes good warm, it will taste even better cold
One thing I’ve noticed is that it can be difficult if you’ve gotten used to everything you drink being very strongly flavored, like juice or pop.
Even with the same water, it started out tasting “blank” until my tongue got used to not everything being a saccharine flavor bomb.
Little flavor drops can help with the transition there.

A shopping cart with a hose and holes?
I’m having trouble picturing this contraption.
Maybe it was pvc pipes with holes drilled out all around the top edge of the cart and they just plugged a hose into it depending on where in the field we were so we can get a big water fountain to all drink from
You really should not be drinking pop or juice from a health perspective. You will get fat and die younger than you need too.
Everything in moderation.
I don’t think that applies to Soda
Fortunately it does.

Carbonated water alone has no effect on bone density, but it can be bad when combined with sugar, caffeine, etc.
Cool story bro

I find a squirt of lemon or lime juice (or both!) makes tap water taste a lot better.
Yeah nothing like lemon to make fluoride go down easier!
Laugh, but I have no cavities
And a ruined brain!
Yes let’s mock people who have no affordable options besides tap water
Easiest block in my life
Holy shit are people really this dumb?
Gotta be a bot account
