I do drink 2-3 glasses of water every day, but in the morning, the first thing I go for is the DC. I've read everything about how bad soda and especially aspertaine are, and I think I'm ready to start the process of quitting.

I'm saying it like this because the quickest way for me to blow a diet (or dietary changes) is to say I am going cold turkey.  So every few days I will drink one can less. I'm embaressed to admit how many  I drink every day, but after noon, it is only caffeine free.     I'll update---good and bad!

I used to love coke......now that I know more, I manage to satisfy my yearnings with an organic pomegranate soda that I add to sparking water in a ratio of about 5 parts water to one part soda.....to my surprise I found 3 of my friends were doing the same thing with their flavor of choice.

Now when I have a full strength soda....well, it's way to strong, over the top.....I really like sparkling water and now I am happy flavoring it.  

I have never tried Red Bull and have been wanting to....but I think I will pass after reading Charon's post.
