The age old question. Coke? Pepsi? Store brand? Any other?

I'm personally a Dr Pepper guy myself.

Well as long as you're doing yourself favors, try to go with water, and cut out soda for most of your diet.

But of course this isn't really an answer to the question at hand.

Water is best but unsweetened tea has a nicer flavor and the only thing I can find that makes it worse than water from a health standpoint is the caffeine.

You can also get a decaffeinated tea as well to drink

In the winter months, I live off of unsweetened herbal tea with no caffeine.

I agree! I have also found carbonated water to quench my need for texture. I can't find it sold as a drink in the drive-thru, though. But when I partake, I can't get enough of it when I take a big, painfully acidic and bubbly sip.

As for just water, I find the water/ice dispenser in my new apartment's fridge to be the #1 health device I can use. I imagine diet and zero soda to be stepping stones to sparking water, which is a stepping stone for still water.
