351mach11647545510 Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 I think pepsi is worse than cigarettes. No matter what I do, every time I try to ween myself off of the pepsi I go into withdrawl and am forced into going and drinking some more. I dont think I had this much trouble giving up cigarettes. I think there must be crack in the pepsi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evan9381 Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 i hate the crash from the sugar high i get when i drink pop...maybe the caffine though...sprite/sierra mist doesnt bother me, but coke/pepsi/dr pepper/mt dew all kill me for about an hour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87GT Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Drink 1/2 to 1 gallon of water a day. This does wonders to your overall feeling. I don't drink regular pop unless someone gives it to me. Diet is fine for the most part. And I consume my caffeine with coffee with splenda or sugar free sobe rush, or candy ordered off of thinkgeek.com =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin R. Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Drink a BL. Very good advice. :nod: This helps you quit most things, such as jobs, relationships, exercising, masturbating, tryng, etc. However, this does not help with smoking.

TheHaze Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 I used to drink a 12 pack in a day or 2 for a few years. I stopped suddenly and have been drinking pretty much only water. Me ftw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAOLE Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 I had a patient that checked himself out of the hospital and came straight to my office after they wanted to take out his pancreas due to acute pancreatitis. I asked him how much water he drinks and he said he has not had plain water in about 15 years, "it rust your pipes". He stated that he only drinks Pepsi(12-24/day). I told him to go home and start drinking at least one gallon of water per day. Within three day he was better. He also looked about 10 years younger within a month.

sprx19 Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Pop is bad stuff. It dehydrates you REALLY bad. I drink one here and there and even an energy drink about once a week. I will drink one coffe a day usually, but water water water will do wonders for your body. If you ever have dry lips, nose, or eyes it is propobly due to not enough water. When I drink juice like cranberry I also mix it with half water, because most anything you drink is too strong. If I know I will go out drinking later I drink extra water all day. Laugh if you want, but if you start paying attention to your body and the way it feels and then think about how much water you have drank lately you will start seeing for yourself.

ImUrOBGYN Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 I understand what you're saying. I was drinking Dr Pepper from the time I woke up until I went to sleep with glass of milk w/dinner. Nothing else. My biggest problem was finding something to substitute it with. I can't stand anything w/fake sugar. I don't care what brand it is, it tastes like shit. I can't drink alot of juices because of an ulcer. I do like Vitamin Water. One of the few flavored waters without fake sugar. I drink Perrier water, as well but I usually shake it up a bit to get rid of some of the carbonation as it has too much. But it's a way I like water and still get the carbonation feeling, I guess. I mix juices w/a little of the perrier, too. You gotta experiment with the mixtures, though. It was harder than trying to stop smoking (which I do again, now). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hal Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 I just gave it up to drop weight. I was around 12 a day on average. I had a few days of horrible headaches and now I feel great. I still enjoy the taste so I have 1 once in a while though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 My wife and I both gave up pop of any kind and drink Vitamin Water in it's place instead. We don't gulp the stuff down, but it is cool that it tastes so good and there are like 15 flavors. Sam's Club and Kroger are the best places I've found to buy it. I do like Vitamin Water. One of the few flavored waters without fake sugar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotCarl Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 I cut it out completely about 3-4 weeks ago. I wasn't as bad as some of these guys drinking 12pk in a day but I guess ive had my fair share. Now I drink bottled water. The only time I drink soda is if im out to dinner or a semi-special occassion, and this is only because tap water in most restaurants sucks. Everything in moderation. I keep a pack of water at home and a pack in my car for when i go to work and the gym, roughly 5$ for a 36 pack of water its alot cheaper and a hell of alot better for you. Havn't had the vitamin water yet, maybe i'll try it. As for what i use to like, Mt. Dew and Cherry coke were my favorite's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duff1647545513 Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 I used to drink alot of pop, was never a huge fan of dark pops though. When I got my kidney stone I quit drinkin the shit all together. I might just have maybe one or two energy drinks a month more so for the carbination. I drink mostly just Gatorade, Propel and water now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 its unfortunate that people think its the caffeine that addictive. it isnt. caffeine has (get this) no long term negative side effects. what your addicted to, as caxide probably unknowingly pointed out, is the sugar, and probably some of the multitude of additives that are in soda.
