I have to have it daily also. It is addicting. If I don't have some, I get grouchy. You and I can start a support group.

Sure you do. It's absolutely designed to be addictive.
It's full of white sugar, an addictive artificial (processed) sweetener.
It's got caffeine, an addictive stimulant.
And it's carbonated, which causes an addictively stimulating feeling in the sensitive tissues of your throat. (It's actually a low-level form of pain---which, for some reason, the body interprets as pleasure.)
Want to give it up? Carbonation alone isn't so bad. There are some great fruit-sweetened carbonated drinks now. Or make your own by adding fruit juice to soda water. It won't taste as good to you, or be as stimulating, as cola---at least for a while. But if be your own boss and stick with it, your body and taste will adjust. Then if you try cola, it'll taste ridiculously sweet and icky. It's just depends what you're used to.
It also depends how serious you are about being good to yourself. If you're not, nothing that anyone says will make any difference. YOU are the boss. Good luck.

I am a Pepsi drinker all the way. On yahoo I was reading a q & A about drinking water. It really opened my eyes about how I was not drinking enough. I am a single mother of 2 young children, and by the time I get the kids to bed, I am WORE out. Anyways, the whole point of this is that for the past couple days I have not had a pepsi, but have been drinking water and green tea. Yesterday I got home and had an unusual amount of energy. I guess staying hydrated with the right types of fluid does wonders for your body!!

I work as a bartender and I am not able to drink alcohol while on duty so I drink Coca-Cola. On my days off usually late afternoons/early evening I get a strong craving for soda. Nothing Else will quench my thirst. It has to be Coke. Pepsi or anything else won't do. I think it is because of all the caffeine in it.

I have an aged aunt and mother would say she is a coke addict. I guess back then around the turn of the century and not this one, but almost 100 years ago there was something in it. Anyway my aunt is in her 90's and still drink the stuff. I like it in the distinctive bottle. I prefer Coke to Pepsi, but that is me. My aunt is in pretty good shape for her age but she never smoked and she ate properly, veggies and all. So I guess go ahead and enjoy your Coke.

I LOVE Coca-Cola! My kids look at me funny when I get up in the morning to make their school lunches and pop open a can of Coke... but hey, I don't drink coffee so... If my husband knows I have had a bad day, he always makes sure to bring a Coke home for me.

Eww....thats addiction there. I cannot drink nothing that has color. The only thing i drink is water. if i even take a small sip of some juice or coke, i feel so guilty like u have no idea.I feel like im going to gain 100 pds. If u want to stop drinking it, reduce the number of cans or cups you drink in a day and go from there. Good luck and you can do it.

Nope. I use to love love love Diet Coke (drank it for 15 yrs.) until I found out it has aspartame in it (along with other diet, light, and low fat products), which can cause tumors, brain cancer and many other things. Once I gave that up, I decided no caffeine at all. I can't afford to drink all those calories everyday, plus I've had so much MORE energy NOT drinking caffinated beverages.
