I've started drinking more milk, water, and orange juice. I didn't really have kidney problems, but my body hurt all the time. My sore back is starting to go away and I feel like I have more energy. Maybe it's the plecebo effect?
I used to think I needed a can of Dew in the morning to get me going, but now I actually feel more awake throughout the entire day without drinking any soda or coffee.
I also used to get really bad headaches if I didn't drink any soda, but I think just staying hydrated with water helps that. The soda was my primary means of hydration, so I imagine that didn't help.

 

1/2 cans a day

 

About 8-9 cans of Dr Pepper on board

it gives me pimples

 

That "sore back" could have been your kidneys aching. My aunt went to the doctor because her back hurt, he told her it was her kidneys, she cut back on the soft drinks and the pain went away. I used to have the same problem as well.

 

Back in the day, i used to drink like 8-10 cans of pepsi a day. Nowadays, i stick to milk or water and i see the occasional can of soda once a day or two if that.

 

YAYA YA YA! :yay:



I was drinking 2-3 Liters of Dr. Pepper a day for a long time, and playing sports at the same time, it was brutal h:.

Now I drink about 64 ounces a day, but in all reality after the ice and stuff you end up with about 45 ounces.

 

My guess would be 4-5 can's/day. Even then it fluctuates depending on the day. h:

 

Used to be up to 3 22 oz. Mt. Dew's or Coke. Then I realized that um...that's horrible for your body so I quit.

Now, I understand what a smoker goes through when trying to quit niccotine. Caffiene headaches are horrible! I've cut down to like 1 or 2 a week, now.

 

3-4 every day, work or no work. Doesn't even seem like caffeine affects me anymore... I can drink a can of MD before bed and not miss a wink.
