I'm trying to get away from drinking so much pop. I weemed off of MtDew where now I can't even stand the tasted and just drink dark pop. Any tips on how to drink pop less?

You should probably ask the resident health expert Society.

Drink more beer

Stop buying it! This is how I stop eating/drinking things that I don't want to.

Just don't drink it, it is not rocket science. Fucking willpower.

1) Turn ur kitchen faucet on
2) Insert cup under the flowing stream of water
3) Fill cup up
4) Turn kitchen faucet off
5) Lift cup to your mouth.
6) Drink water

I've tried to cut back and have found it just becomes habit to mutter "Coke" when they ask what you want to drink at McD's.

I've found that a good alternative to pop is Iced Tea. I found myself drinking triple the amount of Tea as opposed to pop, though.

Try replacing pop with tea (preferably unsweetened)

Kool Aid.

VERY cheap, easy to make.

'Peake I'm with you. I don't know what it is, but McDonald's has the best fountain Diet Coke ever!

Hmmmm.

Step 1: Decide "I want to stop drinking pop."
Step 2: Quit drinking pop.

Doesn't seem that hard.

I started drinking things that also came in cans like lemonade. Eventually, it did work for me.

It looks like I was late on answering this question.

read up on what it does to you

Don't buy it to have in your home. When ordering food in a restaurant order water, tea, or something other than pop. When getting a value meal at a fast food joint order something like tea or Powerade (my personal favorite) instead of pop. It'll probably suck for the first few days because of the lack of cafffine, which is why you should maybe start with something liked ice tea. Although if you put a ton of sugar in your tea (gross) then it isn't really any better than just drinking pop.

If you go to McDonald's all the time then you are going to drink more pop. The only time I ever go to McDonald's is to get a steak, egg, and cheese bagel and a couple of coffees in the morning. I never eat that shit later in the day anymore.

Find out what you drink most of.

For me, when I had two liters, I was drinking WAY too much pop, probably b/c it was so cheap. When I stopped buying two liters, I drank less pop. I buy the 24 ouncers now. Really... just stop buying it. Can't drink it, if you don't have it. That philosophy has been what has made it very easy to not drink beer too.

Just buy bottles of water and those Crystal Light packets instead.

Yea, start drinking beer or whiskey.

Get bottled waters instead. Its all mental just stop getting pop!!

Is this really that hard of a thing to do???

Don't buy it, problem solved. It seems you are conscious of your bad habit, so it should be fairly easy to recognize that ordering a pop is something you should not do. Pretend you CAN'T drink pop for any reason, and consequently, you can't BUY it either.

Also, you need to get laid and you can take that to the bank.

MANAZE i stopped drinking pop in the 8th grade and I am 25 now. The only pop I have had over that time is if I drink a rum n coke or capt n coke. My key to stop drinking so much pop was to find something I enjoyed drinking more. For me this was Apple Juice. After about 6 months of mainly water apple juice and the rare gaterade i started enjoying other juices even more. Today I probably drink 50% water 30% juice and 20% tea. I honestly cant remember how some pop taste and I am always envious of when new flavors come out but other then that i have no urge to even drink it anymore. Good Luck. I also have heard that the darker pop are even worse for you then the clear pops. I think the darker pops cause cancer more and are bad for your kidneys. So amybe even try switching to 7up and Sprite first.

This was mentioned earlier, but it is so simple!! Drink more beer!
