I grew up drinking almost exclusively Coke (thanks mom and dad!), and it took me a very long time to realize that my "craving" for Coke was actually just thirst.

These days I try to stick exclusively to drinking water, but I definitely understand how people can be chronically dehydrated like that when their body is so conditioned to drinking garbage.

To this day, I'll still occasionally think "man, I could really go for a can of Coke," but then I drink water and it goes away.

Flavored (zero sugar) soda water helps a lot too, for people who find plain water boring.

Or just get a liquid water flavour enhancer. Soda is terrible for you, even the diet stuff with no sugar.

Where I'm from the term soda water means water with bubbles in it, unless you were saying that CO2 is bad for you even in water.

Oh, my bad. I was not aware of that expression, it's usually called sparkling water here.

I've heard a lot of different terms for it from a not very big area, but I'm not sure why. Either seltzer (water), club soda, soda water, or sparkling like you said. If you're feeling fancy you can ask for a Perrier (the brand).

It's certainly better than regular, but I'll admit the idea of finding water "boring" doesn't sit well with me. Maybe I'm getting old.

I drink a lot of water as well-- I just like the bubbles sometimes.
