I drink mainly juice now, but used to drink a ton of soft drinks. My wife drinks only water, but as Gangrell said, water is tasteless. I will drink it if it is very cold (just warm enough not to freeze), but when I drink I like to *taste* something.
I won't touch diet soft drinks though. As much as sugar is not great for you, aspartame is much, much, much worse. Most people don't realize what a health hazard it is. They'll say "well, why do they put it in things if it's bad?", but consider that they used to deny that cigarettes are bad for you...

I'd say the guy's got an unhealthy obsession, if he won't even touch someone else's can or cup. His site did say (as of Oct '04) he's switched to Pepsi Edge to cut down on sugar, which is good. My 1st thought after reading this was he's making himself a good candidate for diabetes. [/QB]

I keep hearing mixed views on this. Most people I know in the medical field (but not all), say that consuming sugar will not cause diabetes, that you will either get it or not get it, regardless of the amount of sugar you consume.
