I used to think I drank a lot of coke zero (yeah, coke. ignore the username, i was a fool 25 years ago when I signed up) before COVID but during the lockdowns it became hard to get so I started ordering it in bulk from Costco whenever I could. So I ended up with a tower of coke zero pallets in my office and I started drinking them all day, one after another. It became a habit, then an addiction and today I still do drink them constantly. This fall I plan to wean myself. I think it’s affecting me in bad ways, sleep issues probably from massive amounts of caffeine i consume, my throat bugging me likely from the acid, etc. I may try to cultivate a taste for teas, like green tea, but god I don’t like that stuff now.
Years ago I switched out soda for sparkling water.
I love black tea and drink it every morning.
I can’t seem to develop much of a taste for the green stuff.
I can emphasize with you as a coffee junkie, but I’m also a fan of Coke zero. I used to drink 2 pots of coffee every day, but have cut back to 2 cups. ANYTHING with caffeine is very acidic to your digestive system. Good luck tapering down your caffeine addiction.

I never tasted urine, but assume that must be what tea tastes like. Even though my ancestry is Brit, I don’t see the attraction to tea.
