You put in sugar? Still better than soda.I gave up sodas. I can do this. Water with lemon/limes.
No sugar added.
Good for you! I gave up sodas about a year ago, I think. I was drinking a lot, 3 or 4 big cups each day. Now I have a little coffee in the morning, an unsweetened iced tea with lunch, and water the rest of the day. You'll be surprised how much better you feel once you get all that sugar out of your blood. Your appe e will get back to normal and in just a couple weeks you won't miss the soda at all. I get a small one once in a while, if we're out, but now they are so god-awful sweet and really not as flavorful as I remember them.
they were always that sweet
I've given up soda for the most part. I still have an occasional one, but it's nowhere near as much as I used to drink (which really wasn't much to begin with, but it's even more rare now).
I meant my taste has adjusted, I think.
I haven't given up soda, but with exercising and some slight dietary changes, I've lost my craving for them. But I always crave carbonation, so I like sparkling mineral water, it's very refreshing. I like Perrier, Crystal Geyser and the HEB store brand (lime flavored) comes in cans!! You just need to be careful cuz if you are giving up sugar you don't need to replace it with sodium, and a few of the brands (San Pellegrino, Topo Chico) have a high sodium content----but still probably less than soda.
Does anyone have one of those "carbonate your own drink at home" thingy's?

Pretty easy to make a ginger beer starter - ginger, sugar, water, cheesecloth, and a mason jar.
I make my own Kombucha, started it from half a bottle of GT kombucha I bought. It took a bit of tinkering, but now I add ginger tea when I bottle and 3-5 days later it's carbonated perfectly.
Beer is probably better for you than sodas.
fermented foods/drinks are usually pretty good for you. natural sauerkraut, kimchi. the commercially produced ones not so much.
Beer is liquid bread. It's the carbs that'll get ya.
Is wine better than beer?
I'm just waiting on Cosmic to come in here and give us his formula on flavored water.
Wine has a lot of sugar. That was one of the things that made me start changing my ways----a few times after drinking wine, not even a lot of it, I'd go semi-comatose! I've given it up completely nowIs wine better than beer?

Is that with regular sugar? I've noticed at my husband's house some "carbonating sugar" he uses for his homebrewing----I didn't think it was just regular sugar.
I've always called, Budweiser, chicken fried steak in a can.
The only soda I ever drink is the occasional Cane Cola we have in our fountain machine here at the office. It's good stuff.

at your husbands house? wut?
Regular granulated sugar. Wild yeast is less picky.
Whoops.....
I use a Britta.
I drink diet sodas. Also you should always drink 6-8 glasses of water a day no matter what. You can be depressed, irritable, etc if you don't.
You get used to it. I drink 80-100oz per day...unflavored and usually room temp.
