Diet or not, soda pop is nasty business. There is nothing like cold, clean spring water to quench a thirst and make your body feel good. Also, good news for coffee drinkers. Apparently coffee is NOT diuretic and actually very good for you. Especially strong black coffee. I now add black coffee to my water totals each day.
I try to drink 4-5 quarts of water a day. I either run or lift 5-6 days a week. Might have a soft drink once every couple of weeks.
Good water with the occasional cup of coffee, a beer or glass of wine, but then am type II diabetic and it’s either be a health fanatic or start losing bodyparts.
