Your addicted to the sugar. Fizzy drinks are basically liquid candy. Switch to diet stuff for 2-3 weeks then drop onto water and go t total for a month!
Fizzy drinks are so bad for you!

I used to have a couple of cans of coke a day, randomly started having pints of water instead and now I go for water all the time, have the odd can of coke instead, not seen any benefits from it right enough.

I'm addicted to diet pepsi / coke tho...
I never drink sugar'd stuff. Though I know that the diet stuff is still bad for you / your teeth too...
but i don't get why I'm addicted to the diet stuff.

flavoured water = lovely. much prefer it to a sugary drink, especially at work as you proper feel the shitty affects after about an hour...
pepsi max, vimto and dr pepper is fucking awesome though.

I can last about 3 days on flavoured water but you just crave a fizzy drink then, as the water becomes boring.

I used to live on fizzy drinks, used to take 2 cans of dr pepper with me to work/college, would go through about 4 litres at home ( a week) , plus would buy a small bottle in the day, would also drink 2 cans of relentless a day .
Since giving up fizzy drinks I have had about three cans since christmas, not had a single can of relentless and havent had any dr pepper in the house.
All I drink is water, apple juice and orange juice and now when I have a can or anything it tastes horrible.
Also only had four mcdonalds meals since christmas was eating them every other day.
From just giving those up I feel loads better, seem less tired all the time and Ive saved a lot of money.

I usually have one can of fizz a day, try to stick to sugar free where I can!
If I'm having a drink with a meal it'll either be Five Alive or Nesquick lol.

Paul your the same as me! I drink shitloads of water but im addicted to diet pepsi/coke! Only thing with sugar in i drink is irn bru (best drink ever) and Lucozade
I gave up aspartame drinks due to internet horror stories! Did it for a month and found other than instant weight loss (aspartame makes you retain weight) i found no benefit/change so went back to drinking it :
