I'll drink 120 oz of water on a weekday just through keeping my big-ass superhero cup full of water, but I'm lucky if I remember to drink 40 a day on the weekends. During the week I've almost cut out soda entirely... if I have to get one at work, I get a diet MUG root beer, because it fills the craving and yet I will never come to like diet MUG root beer... sort of aversion therapy. On the weekends, though, I'll go out to eat once or twice and I still get cokes there without thinking. Overall this isn't terrible, but it's certainly not ideal.
*nod* Well, having a coke now and then isn't bad. At least that's how I feel about it. But if you want to stick to your guns, maybe switching to drinking a non-caffinated soda (like Sprite or a ginger ale) or a flavored iced tea instead will help make the transition easier. (Whenever I go to the fast food restaurants, I like to look for the Lipton raspberry tea. It's tasty and probably has less sugar and caffiene than a Pepsi, for instance. But now and then I'll give in and have a Cherry Coke. ;))
