I sympathize with you - I usually drink at least one or two cold pops a day. I'm currently going through one 24-pack every two weeks. On top of that, I usually get a cold pop for lunch and dinner - usually a Sprite or Coke.

It is definitely an addiction - I would recommend just trying to cut down on your pop intake. You could be addicted to a lot worse! Tongue
I was addicted to soda for a long time. It was destroying my teeth.

Anyways, I have about two sodas a day. A sprite at lunch and something from the gas station on my street in the evening. I love cherry sodas, and the Miami Subs I worked at had a free style, which allows you to mix your drinks.

Cherry Coke is one of my favorite pops probably my favorite.

I have had over 30 cavities from pop drinking maybe 35. My dentist hates me.

Also, switching to beer because you drink too much soda may be the worst solution ever. Please don't do that.
No it's the best solution, I suggested it in the IRC.

Why the offensive language? Nothing wrong with having a few beers everyday, bro or not. It's certainly much healthier than liters of pop.

It's best not to replace one vice with another that has potential to be much, much worse.
such hostility

Kemp is correct. Alcohol addiction and the subsequent come downs are horrible. As bad as all the sugar may be for you, you aren't going to really risk a convulsion coming off the Mr Pibb. You also don't find people knocking their old lady in the snot locker after too many Mountain Dews.

Some people have an addictive personality and replacing one vice with another can just open yourself up to many more problems.

Drink a cup of black coffee every day until it stops tasting bitter.  This will train your taste buds to appreciate subtly and non-sweetness in beverages.  After a while, soda will stop tasting good and will seem disgustingly sweet.

Also, just stop buying soda.

To the contrary, your dentist probably loves you. Sounds like you're providing him with some serious income.

No she kind of lectures me a little every time I go in, I know she will next time, I can hear her in her Indian accent say " you need to cut out the pop".

Are you trying to become the replacement for the Update?

No I wasn't even thinking that really.Bushie is a one of a kind well at least I hope and pray he is. I could never replace him if I wanted to.

This was my thought precisely. I don't know about everyone else, but I'm going to get in on the ground floor and make my investments in this new venture before it takes off.

FTR: I'm at 24 oz of coke for the day

I haven't drank a regular soda in years. I make a point of avoiding that much sugar, let alone the particularly nasty high-fructose corn syrup. Even with diet, I never drink more than two cans a day.

One suggestion I can think of is maybe you could replace your desire for flavor by chewing gum instead every time you have a craving for something besides water you can't bring yourself to resist? At least it doesn't have the sugar content or caffeine. The cost is marginally cheaper too.

This is a good idea I may try this although I can chew a lot of gum. I use to chew gum and could chew 25 pieces a day easy. 

I was doing good pop wise yesterday until the evening. I was at my friends and we got pizza and while I went up to pick it up I bought a two liter of cherry Coke. I drank 2/3rds of it. My friend and his fiancée drank the other third. I also had a 24oz pop earlier. I just ran to the store and bought a two liter pop to drink, maybe my friend will have some so I don't drink it all myself. I don't think I will ever stop drinking pop.

I wonder if I drink so much pop that it will make me so sick I will never want to drink pop again.

Also thank you everyone for your help and ideas.

I don't get the fascinations with soda. I drink on average, probably 2 a month, and when I do it's diet, and I'm out somewhere. At home, I just drink water, and at work it's lemon tea (no sugar) and water. I have no real desire to drink anything else.

Is this some sort of soda-based Update spinoff?

So at church I had another 12oz of pop so my total was 77oz.

I later tried some tea, black tea I hate green tea. I have drank tea in the past with my grandma, I kind of like it I may start drinking tea. I add a little bit of honey to my tea but just a little.

Should I see a psychologist for my pop addiction. I seem to keep drinking pop I will even pour another glass knowing I shouldn't have it.

I need to go cold turkey and just stop completely. If I buy pop I will drink the whole amount. Also the store where I buy most of my pop is 400 ft from my house. I should tell them not to sell me pop. My friend knows someone who put themselves on a list that bans them from casinos in Michigan, since they have a gambling problem.

Sip. Slowly.

If I bought a two litre bottle of pop (feels weird to say that again) I would drink the whole thing and quickly for two reasons. 1) I hate it when my pop gets warm or loses carbonation and 2) I have a compulsion to "finish" things. I cannot throw away some of the food on my plate - I feel bad if I do. My solution? Don't make as big a plate of food, and don't buy two litres of pop. Instead I'll buy a 24 pack, put one in the fridge, and just drink one can.

I can't relate exactly, though, I got out of the habit of drinking pop and got into a habit of drinking tap water because when you're stoned water is miraculous. Pop makes my throat feel phlegmy and gross.

Anyway, my best advice is to just sip your drink. You will learn to enjoy it if you're persistent.

If people follow the life of a obese man from Oklahoma whose most interesting activity in life is watching 14 hours of sports on TV and eating grilled hamburgers, why wouldn't people be interested in this?

This is a bizarre thread. Just don't buy it. Physically don't hand over money in exchange for "pop".

It speaks volumes of the state of the forum when we have 73 responses to a thread where some kid talks about drinking 100 bottles of soda a day. We have nowhere to go! RIP Atlas forum.

Indeed. Mark my words: this is the beginning of something great. Hopefully 2014 will bring us stories about something other than cheeseburgers and failure.
