Same here. I don't particularly like the way they taste and I usually will only drink some if I am extremely thirsty and there is no water to be had.

1 drink per week, or even none at all. In general, I don't like to drink pop, tea is much nicer.

i drink like 30 a week probably. All Diet Dr Pepper/ Diet Pepsi so 0 calories. I know its not good for me anyways but I don't see how it does any harm. I am addicted to caffeine but im going to quit for a few days this month because im becoming tolerant to it. Then I'll start back up and ill get the desired effects :)

I drink 2-4 per day. All diet though. Diet Dr. Pepper and Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper are good!

Is it just me or are we getting weak? I cherish the idea of us computer nerds drinking pop like its going out of style. Even I though have been following the trend and now limit it to usually 3-4 diet rites a week. I don't even know if you can count that though, no caffeine or sugar. I don't really know the point just habit of needing some soda fix. About two to three years ago it was at least 5+ Mt. Dews a day with an few Pepsis thrown into the mix.

Never have, doubt I ever will. Been drinking only water since I was a kid. Before I got lots of odd looks when I said I only drink water. Now it's the "trendy" thing to do.

We haven't bought any for months though and now I only drink them when we're out or visiting someone's house. I don't feel any different and my weight has been constant. *shrug*

dilluted fruit juices? that sounds appealing... heh

Yeah, but it's still WEIRD. It's just trendy to be weird.

(Water tastes awful, IMHO)

One of those gallon jugs of Gatorade and 2 liters of Diet Coke will last me 3 days, so...however much that counts for.

Only diet, though, so...no sugar/calories. Need the caffeine, though.

Fruit juices I LOVE, I mean really LOVE - there is this strawberry-banana smoothie thing at the local organic grocery store that just KICKS ASS, and I totally cannot get enough of orange juice, but...

Well, fruit juices give you such AWFUL DAMN BREATH, you have a glass of OJ in the morning, and it's mint-breath-strip-city for the rest of the day or else!
