my family.. not much.. Dh drinks 3 or 4 a week... My dd's only when were out and that's what they choose, but usually it's chocolate milk when were out because I don't do that at home...

ME.... on the other hand.. WAY TO MUCH!!! I was 6-8 cokes a day, then switched to Dt.Coke and its 2-3 a day..

Ummm..... we drink too much "coke" () around here. We have been cutting down and buying more cases of water, but DH and I still need to have some soda.

I will only buy it when it's on sale though and I'll stock up.

We no longer buy sodas for at home; we'll occasionally have them when we're out, but not too often.

I shudder to think of how much soda DH drinks at work though.

I am the worst when it comes to pop. I use to drink two bottles per day-dont know how many ounces those are. The ones that you get out of the pop machines. Now I have been able to cut back to about 2 bottles per week and I try to make them caffeine free ones. I try not to buy pop for the house because that is too much of a temptation to drink it. Canned or fountain pop with lots of ice is my favorite. Dh isnt really big on pop, only time he gets it is if we go out for fast food or a road trip. My kids of course love pop, but I dont like them to have it. If they do, make them get something without caffeine. They probably get pop 3 times a month-too much as far as I am concerned. I am trying to cut them back on it. No health benefits from it, so they dont really need it.

We hardly drink any and I pretty much never buy it. My inlaws drink SO MUCH soda, all the time. They serve it for family dinners, so sometime we split one, or else we have water.

I like rootbeer - once in a while I'll get some, or cream soda to have floats with.

We don't buy it at all. The kids and I don't drink it. My husband will sometimes when we go out to eat although lately he's been trying to stick with lemonade or water.

My youngest doesn't like pop at all. My oldest will only get Sprite or Root Beer when we go out to eat. Dh and I have one can of Diet Dr. Thunder once a day at the most.
