Soda is really one of those things I rarely buy....usually only when dh is home and then we'll have it with dinners.

I like Sprite
dh likes Pepsi
and dd favorite if Fanta(orange)

But I really try to keep the amount we drink to a minimum...usually even if were out dd will get choc milk,or fruitopia at McD's,or maybe fruit punch at Wendys.

How 'bout you all?

I used to have a 12 pack of cans a day or a 6 pack of 20 oz bottles a day, but went down to just one every once in a while and now I am back to one a day. Much better than before, though.

I prefer Diet Mt. Dew or Diet Coke and dh drinks Diet Pepsi. Neither of us can really handle the sweetness of full-calorie pop, lol.

None, we dont' buy it. I get the occasional sonic coke, but that's it. You will only see cokes in our house if we are about to have/go to a party with a bottle of whiskey...that's it.

I have, on average, one can a day. Some days more. DH varies. He'll go days with none and then drink a few a day for a few days. The older two kids rarely get them and normally will split a can when they do. The younger two kids don't drink them at all yet.

I drink quite a bit. I buy diet whatever is cheapest. Right now I have HyVee brand (it was on sale 4 12pks for $9!) My dh drinks pop occassionally and my almost 15 yr old dd will ask if she can have one once in awhile. My boys will only have pop if we eat out (rare) and even then sometimes they opt for lemonade or chocolate milk.

Depends on my husband and if he is drinking or not.

Me and the kids (well my daughter the baby doesn't get any) probably have one a week. My husband is either drinking none or a couple a day -- he cannot do ANYTHING half way.

My DH goes through about 2 2 liter bottles a week (I usually have one glass every week or so). Our kids don't drink soda, except for one can if we have people over or if we are having a family movie night - I buy root beer in 12 packs and a 12 pack lasts me about 6 weeks to 2 months.

we're not soda drinkers, dh used to be but has slowly weaned himself off of it, first off the sugar and then off the diet. Every once in while I'll buy a 2 liter of Diet 7up, but we drink it so slowly that it goes flat before it's all gone

We have iced tea, water, and sometimes I splurge with Crystal Light, not the best for you but at least it doesn't have bubbles (which are bad for your bones)
