  Umm...Lesse.  Thirsty?  Want caffeine?  LIKE IT?  There are lots of
reasons to drink soda frequently.

  Myself I will put down easily three cans of soda with a meal.

  Did you ever research any of this?  On the advice of a few friends,
I've been experimenting with replacing my [massive] daily caffeinated
soda drinking with water.  LOTS of water.  I've been doing it now for
about a week.  I still drink some soda every now & then, but only to
get rid of the lack-of-caffeine headaches.  No significant effects to
report yet, but I think I'm noticing that I'm sleeping a bit more
deeply.
