[QUOTE="Susiebabs, post: 349852, member: 58782"] I used to be a bit of a diet coke addict - drinking about 1 litre a day (if not more - in the form of the 500ml bottles). I decided 6 months ago to switch to water and have pretty much stuck to that. It was tough the first few weeks I won't deny that, but on the few occasions since then when I've had a diet coke it actually tastes rank to me! Not only that but the caffeine has had a huge effect too - just didn't realise how much I was consuming because I don't drink coffee or normal tea. I've now added peppermint tea into my drinks mix and between the two I have really found things that my body likes and can use effectively without any nasty additives. I KNOW how hard it can be to step away from the convenience of a bottle or can that can be kept nice and cool in the fridge but I believe it's SO worth it! Put it this way, the syrup form of these drinks (before being added to fizzy water) would make you very ill indeed - which really says to me that diluting it and drinking it isn't a great idea. I bought myself a couple of really snazzy water bottles to carry round to help the transition. :) [/QUOTE]
