Occasionally if I am getting a burger at a place that does not have beer like Five Guys. So 1x a week? I keep emergency 8oz canned coke in my fridge about 4/8 are left it's been there 6months- they help headaches.

I really dig bubble water- I love my soda stream. I crave the carbonation. La Croix has lots of great flavors. I like peach pear the best.

I drank a LOT of pop in college, probably 5 cans a day. And then I had 8 cavities at my first dentist appt. after I graduated.

Now I limit myself to just 1 a day at lunch. I'll have Cappuccino in the morning instead, and water throughout the day. Just find something else you like to drink and keep it available.

ETA: I had been drinking Diet Dew, but switched back to regular because of the Aspartame.

I used to have a problem with it. I drank one with lunch and one with dinner, almost every day. At some point, I really re-vamped my diet and I made a huge effort to cut back. We stopped buying packs of cans and that make a big difference since it just wasn't in the house. Now I have maybe one diet soda each weekend and that's generally it.

I keep a few cans of coke zero around for headaches, the caffeine is usually finally kills it off for me. Other than that I drink a diet coke when we go out to dinner and there isn't beer (or now that I'm pregnant) but not every time. It probably averages around 1-2x a week.

Occasionally. I don't generally buy it but if it is there, I like a Coke Zero (but I prefer decaf). Once in a blue moon I will buy a case. Mostly I drink sparkling water. My mother drank diet coke constantly and finally quit cold turkey last year. She said it was as hard as quitting smoking (which she did 40 years ago).

Never. I hate all diet sodas. If I do have the occasional soda, it's a regular.

I'll admit it. I drink more pop than I think I should. Probably 5-6 days a week I'll have at least something. I drink regular, diet, and caffeine free, depending on my mood. Lately, A&W root beer has been amazing. I'm trying to withhold on all pop today, but I have to make a conscious effort or it creeps in on me!

@mrskansas: No I avoid artificial sweeteners and also try to avoid soda as much as possible.

Nope. I don't really drink soda as is, but if I do, I drink regular. I don't like diet!

I love Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi. I would limit myself to one a day but I still probably drank to much. I also liked using it as a mixer with vodka so yeah. When I got pregnant with DS2, it started to taste so sweet to me that I couldn't drink as much. I used to love the Dt Coke from McDonald's (only a $1!) but started drinking more ice tea instead. I also crave the carbonation so have moved to LaCroix and my soda stream with a little grapefruit juice. But sometimes, I still need my diet coke fix.

I’m an off and on diet coke addict. I go through phases where I quit but I never seem to stay away for more than a year. When I’m at my worst I have about 4-5 a day (usually during busy season at work). I know they’re terrible for you and I feel much better overall when I’m not drinking them.

I’m currently not drinking them… the only thing I’ve had success with is replacing diet coke with something else. For me, I drink green tea pretty much all day at work.

I went from regular to diet and then stopped a long time ago. I think having an iced cold alternative is the key - whether it's sparkling water or iced tea or regular water. I also like iced coffee - only drink it in the summer though and definitely not as much as I drank soda.
I only drink soda now when I have a really bad headache or am nauseous.

yes, haha i have a problem too. both with diet coke and coke zero! at my worst i was drinking on average 3-4 cans a day after that article about increased risk of stroke/dementia that came out last week (http://www.cnn.com/2017/04/20/health/diet-sodas-stroke-dementia-study/), i cut it back to 1 a day. so far so good (after a week... ) but i'm trying! my motivation is just to be healthy for my kids! my 4yo was also lecturing me to drink more water

No. Never. I can't stand that fake sugar taste, and it's pretty terrible for you. On the rare occasion that I do drink soda, I drink regular.

I actually don't remember the last time I had soda. I used to drink diet coke or sprite, not frequently though. I stopped drinking soda years ago now and switched to iced tea or lemonade if I want something besides water.

It wasn't too hard to stop drinking it since I never drank much to begin with.

I don't drink diet, but do like the taste of an ice cold coke. It breaks me out though into cysts, so I have to avoid! I just tempted fate recently with a pop and now my chin hurts.

Never. I rarely drink soda at all, though.

Nope! I don't drink soda though and will have a sip of my husband's drink once in a while. I would much prefer coffee, iced tea, or water.

No. Dont drink any soda, not since college. Addicted to flavored seltzers!

I hate diet pop, and I rarely drink pop.
