Answers:
Switching to diet Dr!.pepper is just as worst, but because you're husband is complaining about the headaches (one symptom of caffeine withdrawal)!. I think the best way to ween your husband off Dr!.Pepper is not going cold turkey but switching to less fattening caffeinated drinks such as Earl Grey Tea and slowing reducing your husband's intake every week!. This is considered the best way to rid coffee addiction and should work with sodas like Dr!.Pepper!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well, it is a caffiene addiction, that is the headaches!. and it is well known headaches will come with the withdrawl!. It is with any addiction, he will only really stop when he wants!. It isn't ever going to be easy and there is no magic fix!. He just has to do it!. The mistake would be to let him go from that to coffee or choclate, that is only a bandaid on a shotgun wound!. He has to cut the caffeine all together!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Get some diet dr pepper to start and then decrese intake from there!. Give him other stuff to drink perhaps, like juice!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

At least he's not a boozer!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I know a dirty joke about Dr!. Pepper!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
