Is this some kind of achievement? Do people realize what is in those beverages? Its like saying: ''I haven't drank rat pee in 7 months!! woohooo'' I say don't ever drink that crap again, period.
Happy holidays!

i woudn't if i were u, your stomach is now free of all the false sugar, various additives they stick in soda, don't go back to that. if u lasted 7 months, surely u can last 7years
Dang, I was proud of myself for going all last weekend without a soda...
why bother? it isn't good for you or your teeth, and if you aren't craving it, then there is no reason to have any.
Soda. It's become the four-letter word of beverages. Of all the drinks on the market, soda probably has the worst reputation. Science and medical research point their collective finger at soda, and blame it for everything from diabetes to tooth decay, hyperactivity to childhood obesity. But is soda really that bad for you? When asked if soda is inherently unhealthy for people, board certified nutritionist and author Jonny Bowden, PhD, CNS, said, “Yes. Simple, unequivocal answer, yes. Yup. Affirmative. Absolutely.” What's so unhealthy about many Americans' favorite beverage?
To get to the truth, let's start with the ingredients. The average cola contains carbonated water, caramel color, natural flavors, caffeine, phosphoric acid and high fructose corn syrup. Carbonated water is plain water infused with carbon dioxide, which creates the bubbles. Caramel color is a natural additive that tints food products, providing the familiar color consumers expect to see. Natural flavors are often of the citrus variety and added for taste. All of these are simple, harmless ingredients. Next is caffeine, a diuretic and stimulant known to be addictive.
What's left on the list of ingredients is what solidifies soda's bad name: sugar. Phosphoric acid is a chemical that adds a tangy or sour flavor by breaking down starches into sugar. According to Bowden, we should consume as little sugar as possible, especially refined sugar. “Zero would be a bull's-eye but is pretty much an unobtainable goal,” says Bowden. Why is it unobtainable? Because almost every product on supermarket shelves contains the final ingredient on our soda list: high fructose corn syrup. “It's included because it is a way cheaper form of sweetener than anything else,” says Bowden. “It is also one of the single most horrific ingredients in the food supply.” Adding high fructose corn syrup to foods provides little nutrition and lots of calories.
So don't do it.
Eat a grapefruit.
why not it can be your early Christmas present for yourself
not if you can help it- it's bad for you, and you've done a great job so far
If you really crave it, go ahead and have a single glass
if your intention on not having soda for 7 months is to avoid it completely, then no, you should not have a glass now.
when you feel comfortable, I'm sure you'll have one. It doesn't seem like you are ready.
