Good on him. I cut the soft drinks many years ago when I started looking after my health, they're full of sugar and empty calories. I never crave soft drink anymore. Turned to diet drinks initially when making the switch, and then eventually you can cut those as well. The awful artificial chemical taste of most of them gets old quick. These days I go for ice tea if I want a sweet drink, but water does me fine.

Have you found that it's made a difference by cutting the drinks out?

Soda water here. I get the pleasure of the fizzy drink, but it is actually good for me. Occasionally I'll put a little lemon juice in it for flavour.
