I can agree to ALOT that article has to say. I find ALOT of correlations to my Diet Soda habit and the points that they raise in it.

Personally I have about 40-60 oz of Diet Soda a day, which is more than when I drank regular soda. My poisons of choice are Cherry Coke Zero, Diet Cherry Dr. Pepper, Coke Zero, Pepsi Max, Diet Dr. Pepper, and Diet Sunkist

Probably around 10-20 oz of water... I know I really need to flip those....

Hmm I think my mother is a Diet Coke junkie. She drinks tons of it and actually prefers it to water which is bizarre to me. As I have stated before I LOVE water. I definitely prefer water to soda.

Holy shit!! I drink 1 can of soda every week (saturday nights) and I'll never try those "alternative" sugars drinks. I drink about 4-5 bottles of water a day. I'm on the road 2-3 days a week, when I eat out. I drink bottled water or occasional some orange juice (depending on brand).

I know it's not my business but people seriously... water isn't going to kill you.

I average 2-4 cans of Coke Zero a day, not really a concern except for the money drain they are, might quit if I need the extra cash.

I use to drink several coke zeros per day until I heard the crack of a whip and my girlfriend kindly asked me to switch to tea or water.

Yeah, I don't drink much soda, but when I do? Damn son. I'm getting some nasty burritos at Taco Bell and some kind of ridiculously huge Mountain Dew that comes in a bucket size.

I used to drink energy drinks until I figured out that they are 99% sugar and calories. Now if I need a quick pick me up and I'm not in the mood for coffee (my real poison) I grab a one of the small sugar free red bull shots. It's got basically nothing in it and gives you about as much caffeine as a 6oz cup of joe.

I have not drank soda pop of any kind since I was four or five years old. There's another 'Tale of LittleSin" in there but, afain, I don't want to clutter the forums with my dumb assery.

I don't drink diet soda and I have given up drinking regular soda, which I used to drink a lot of. I take 2 or 3 bottles of water to work with me every night. At home I drink coffee, milk, or juice.

Not drinking diet soda wasn't a health related concern, though - I just dislike the taste of artificial sweeteners.

Yep, just till June. Then it'll be the little lady's turn to put me through school.

Zero Calories, Zero Sugar. My Energy Drink of choice.

Yes. Also: 24 ounces of terrible aspertine taste! Wooooooo! :p

Seriously though here's the way I look at it: I could drink a giant gross fakey diet drink like that but I'm doing it for 2 reasons right?
1) I want some caffeine because I got shit to do.
2) I want something to sip on.

If I drink that monstrosity up there? I get some caffeine but Im drinking a giant gross fake tasting energy drink. So if I'm not up for more coffee I hit the 5 hour energy shot (I prefer the sugar free red bull) that has a fraction of the crap as that big thing there and grab some water or tea. Then you get to sip and you get your caffeine.
I mean do what you gotta do man but since I cut out all the pop and energy drinks and started drinking lots more water I've lost weight and gotten a bit healthier.
