    Soda for me.
    I love it.
    I hate it.

    I just wish so much that there were half sugar sodas out there. All the synthetic sugars of the diet or 0 calorie ones taste like garbage.

    I’ve been cutting the ones I drink by pouring a can of eltzer water in with the regular can of soda, but I think even that tastes a little strange compared to just watering things down.

      There are some lower sugar sodas, or hybrid sodas that use fruit juice along with Stevia or monkfruit in order to cut the weird taste. Olipop is my favorite, and Spindrift has some good flavors.

      Same… I drink an embarrassing amount of diet soda. I’m like a chain-drinker, to be honest, and I’m almost never without one. When one runs out I get another.

      I like to add a splash of regular when I use a fountain soda machine, which is the best way to drink soda anyway, imo.

        Agreed with the second part 100%. On the rare occasion I get fast food or something, getting the good stuff straight from the great soda teat is probably the best part.

      I drink a lot of plain carbonated water. I mean carbonated water with powerful bubbles like most sodas. Some carbonated waters are awfully bad with weak ass bubbles indistinguishable from something that was left open the day before and went flat.

      Liquid Death has some great low-sugar sodas. I’ve been a strong fan of their Doctor Death. Their tea is also super low in sugar.

      Make your own. It’s pretty easy. It’s just water and flavorings and sugar and you boil it down slowly.

      Syrup in the fridge made this way will store for weeks and you can customize how strong/weak you want your soda to taste.
