Answers:
switch to juice, it tasstes way better!.

Advice? stop drinking it you muppet!

Your teeth are going to rot out.

Switch to coffee, you still get the caffeine boost :P

So am i, i only drink D-coke.
Its bad we should stop

put something that tastes really bad in it before you drink it. If you are serious about this you will do it.

I know someone real close to me that is 29 with dentures because of too much pop... is that motivation enough?

Drink Sprite!

try diet coke or try poring some out and adding water,my husband drank a 2litre or more bottle a day he changed to diet then he went to buying a bottle a week and took sugar free juice instead or water.

Hers the solution although it is really a tranfer of a problem.

You MUST buy CANed grapefruit juice. It will taste horrible at first, but after 15 days you will be asking What is coke?
Then you will be addicted to something else, but more healthier.

It worked for many.

try drinking choclate milk or plain old orange juice good for the body got milk have a nice day.

When you DO drink it, pretend you are drinking medicine, and it is really gross. coc-cola used to actually be a stomach ache medicine a long time ago.i don't really like coke myself, but when you dring pretend your chugging cough medicine or something.Believe me, it will work.

Coke doesn't have that much caffeine in it... a cup of coffee has more. So if it's the caffeine you are addicted to, welcome to the club. Caffeine isn't all that bad.

However, the high fructose corn syrup in coke is a problem. Unlike regular table sugar (sucrose), this stuff is not recognized as a nutrient by your body. So consuming large amounts of high fructose corn syrup will NOT result in a drop in your body's hunger or metabolism. So you end up consuming more calories than you need. This stuff and all the trans-fats and hydrogenated fats are what is causing the weight gain in our country. Switch to a sugarless drink. Coke Zero is actually pretty good. So is Diet Dr. Pepper.

Mix Diet cola with regular cola.

Intially 3/4 cup cola and 1/4 cup diet cola.

when you feel you can go to the next level, 1/2 and half.

Next 1/4 reg cola and 3/4 cup diet.

by doing this you can decrease your apparent appetite of the sugar.

In regards to water, you should just not drink as much coke, and drink more water....easy peasy.

(Just opinions!)

maybe they started putting coke back into it, j/k... idk, at the beginning of the year i stopped drinking all soda and i had that same kind of addiction to pepsi... my advice to you is to just find other things that you like other then coke and try to drink that more... i always drank a lot of water, so i drink that and i drink a lot of juice... its all in your will power you just gotta learn how to say NO!

You know WHAT made me stop? I watched documentary movie about coke where paramedics use this drink to wash out blood stains from the road after car accident. It did impress me a loooooot! If it removes blood stains from asphalt what can it does to your stomach than?

motivate yourself then stop....that stuff is poison

Alternate between Coke and caffeine free coke. Its the caffeine you are addicted to.
Do this and gradually replace the ordinary stuff with the caffeine free stuff.

Caffeine free diet coke does taste nice I drink it as well as ordinary diet coke.

At least you're not addicted to heroine or alcohol. They have worse affects.

Don’t know if I will be at any help, but my mother was addicted to coca-cola too, and she went from thin to really over weight. Its taken her years to try and get that weight off, and she still cant. Besides for that, her stomach lining is ruined. She’s been in and out of hospitals. She doesn’t drink coke anymore, but still suffers. And don’t think you switch over to diet coke, because that is just as bad. Good luck and think about it. You are ruining your whole life.

i drink far too much coke also. if im not drinking coke, im drinking coffee and i feel fine. be like me......enjoy it !!

i used to also have the same problem. all i did was stop buying it and slowly reduced how much i drank. i also heard that if you drink 6 bottles of coke at a time you cud die.
if you put a bone in a cup of coke it will rot and dissolve away in a week but a bone in a grave will rot away in 30 years. it can also lead to diabetes and can kill the pancreas.

I used to drink way more than that at day. When I noticed that I was depending on it, I decided to quit, cause I don't like things having a hold on me. So every time I wanted coca-cola I would drink another pop or drink. It was not so hard. I just drank something that I would not be dependant on. Now, rarely I drink pop.

take the Pepsi challenge

SWITCH TO PEPSI!!!!

ummmmmm....
try not to buy them.........
then you will have none to drink

Print out some pics of toothless mouths and fat people and stick them round your house. Stop buying it, find a hobby that you can spend your money on.

I hope you were recycling those cans.
