Think of the energy used to manufacture, bottle & transport soft drinks for no nutritional value.
What a waste!

How about ginger ale? That helps get rid of my nausea, even more quickly than ginger tea or ginger snaps.

Otherwise, yeah, count me in. I loved soft drinks when I was a kid. When I worked night shift, I had about 3 or 4 liters per day of Coke or Pepesi. Now, my stomach is in bad shape, but has done so much better after cutting WAAAAAAYYYY back on caffeine and cutting out beef.

I'm lucky to have never liked carbonated drinks. I can't claim credit for this one - I simply don't like them. Do I still get the points that go with this action?!

Don't worry about the CO2 from carbonation causing problems. All they do is use CO2 from industrial waste gas. When you drinking the soda you're just releasing that. Bottling the CO2 just delays the release by a few days.

What is more important is that the carbonation causes bitterness which is offset by adding extra sugar. That extra sugar causes extra destruction to both you and the environment.

And even worse is bottled water. The tap juice we get in New Zealand is perfectly drinkable!
