When I was little I tried Cream soda, hated the bubbles and never drank it again. Occasionally I will have Ginger Ale. But that's if I am really thirsty and there are no other options available.

Lisa Shuster is craving her first Diet Coke of the day.
She is slender, 5-foot-6 with blond good looks, and the only hint that something is wrong is the way she gnaws at her thumbnail, fighting off that jittery feeling.
It's 9:30 in the morning. She's been up for three hours and is drinking her third cup of coffee. But she hasn't had a Diet Coke. Three hours and no Diet Coke. Most days, she has already driven to McDonald's by now and indulged. Super Size. 42 ounces. A cup the size of a child's bucket.
This morning, her 16-year-old daughter slept in late with a headache and Lisa has been stuck at home.
Finally, at 10:30, Kathleen is ready for school.
Finally, Lisa can get her fix.
As she cruises toward Myers Park High School in her blue Lincoln Navigator, she's thinking about how good it will taste. Cool. Fizzy. With that sweet tang of aspartame mixed with saccharin found only in a fountain drink.
Without intending to, she turns left off Colony Road onto Fairview Road, away from her destination.
"I'm headed to McDonald's!" Lisa blurts out, laughing at her mistake.
"Tough luck," she calls over her shoulder to Kathleen. "You're second. My car is trained to go to McDonald's."
For Lisa, who's 42, Diet Coke is more than a drink. It's a way of life.
"I don't drink alcohol," she says. "I don't smoke. I don't cuss. This is my addiction."
In the United States last year, we drank nearly 3 billion gallons of Coke. "It's the real thing." Two billion gallons of Pepsi. "You got the right one baby." One billion gallons of Diet Coke. "Do what feels good." Dr. Pepper, Mountain Dew and Sprite, 7 UP, Mello Yello and Sun-drop, Pepsi Vanilla, Pepsi Twist and Pepsi Blue.
We drink more soda than water.
It costs us $63 billion a year and, some researchers say, our health.
