Sounds like an interesting experiment and you're past the halfway mark. Has it made a difference in your life? Has it been easy? What do your friends and family think? Do they even notice? Do you think you will start drinking pop again after Jan. 28, 2002?
Actually it has made a difference in my life. I actually have more energy, I spend less money, I drink a lot more water, it's good for working out, and it makes certain occasions difficult. Such as going to a party, pizza place, etc... Everybody thinks it pretty amazing how I"m able to do it but my brother teases me all the time by drinking pop in front of me on purpose. I think I will start drinking pop again after that date but I won't drink nearly as much as I used to. Who knows maybe next time I might go for two years. Nevermind I'm not going to go two years without pop. Even though, it's fairly easy. Just try to find an alternative drink such as Gatorade, juice, Frutopia, etc... Sometimes you start to get really tired of water after having to drink it all day in order for you to drink something. I've only had about 5 really bad urges to drink pop but I was able to overcome them. Thanks for your interest in it by the way.

And you probably won't.

I used to be a vorocious Pepsi drinker. Then, about 8 years ago, I became concerned about all that sugar floating around my teeth and all that carmel color staining them. So instead of Pepsi, I started drinking water when in restuarants. This quickly spread to drinking water at home and at work. Now, I very rarely drink Pepsi. Maybe half a can now and then when I'm eating a pizza.
