I absolutely love soda. It's like my one bad addiction, but mmmmm does it taste good.
But if I didn't drink it i'd drop 20 pounds easy.
Blah.

complete rant for me, Dr. Pepper sucks (along w/ pretty much every other soda except very rarely a Mt. Dew or Coke)

Just switch to diet, then. It's what I did, and it really helped considering all the regular soda I used to drink. Yeah, I know easier said then done but Diet Dr. Pepper probably tastes the closest to the regular flavor of any soda I've ever tasted. If you haven't yet, try it sometime.
Rave for me as well: I also enjoy the good Dr. from time to time. Works terrificially as a mixer, too.

I've tried both and while Coke Zero is acceptable, i just can't acquire the taste for aspertame or whatever sweetener is in those.

I'm in the same boat, Theo.
I've tried going the diet soda route, but I can easily tell and it's not the same.
I try to limit myself to one or two sodas a day, but I've not done well with that over the last month or two either. Two doctor's appointments this month, too. Not looking forward to stepping on that scale.

Diet Dr. Pepper is good, but I prefer Pibb Zero....

Force yourself to drink diet coke for a while and you won't be able to stand regular coke anymore at some point.

Yuck. I managed to trick my taste buds into thinking that any diet soda tasted just as good as regular soda, but Diet Coke is the only soda I can't do that with. Tastes nothing like the original.
Michael was right with Coke Zero, though. That stuff tastes far more like regular coke and I like it okay.
