The pronoun "you" makes it seem that you are not just confining these opinions to your own habits.
Some people don't get soda refreshment out of water, tea and coffee.
As I said when I began, if you read that part, I’m not preaching and to each his own, but if me expressing my opinion bothers you it may not be me or my problem.
I stopped drinking soda pop a long time ago. I do not remember now why I did it but it has been a good 12 or 15 years since I had a Coke or anything like it.
Now I find that just watching someone order Coke with their whiskey is revolting to me.

I agree with you. Water does not refresh me at all. It makes my stomach hurt and I’m still thirsty. I drink Pepsi Max. I just love that stuff.
