I chose water as that's mostly what I drink now with mio sweet tea flavoring. At a restaurant or drive-thru I get sweet tea. I used to only drink Coke and sweet tea until I discovered Mio. I still will drink a Coke on occasion, but avoiding it has allowed me to lose 30 pounds. I have never liked Pepsi because it's too sugary and also causes me heartburn.

The expense is about the same as soda.

I don't enjoy drinking my weight in ounces of distilled waiter everyday but I need to do it. Folks kidney stones are no joke, pregnant women and mothers compare them to contractions and crowning. The caffeine, coloring, sugars, and complex carbs found in almost every soda made are a leading factor in kidney stones for the majority of the suffering population. Drink more water and less soda and hopefully you'll never have to deal with stones yourself.

I totally don't get that stuff. So you just carry around your own sugar flavoring?

I mostly drink lemonade, and if possible either make my own, or get Turkey hill and cut it about half and half with water; it's like buying lemonade syrup. I -should- drink water, but I find I barely drink at all if I try that, and end up dehydrated. Of sodas I go for caffeine free coke, used to drink a couple liters of that a day but I've cut way back and just keep a couple cans in the fridge, might drink one every couple days.
Out, I tend to get Sprite if they have coke products, or lemonade if they have Pepsi products. Coke's lemonade is vile, Pepsi's entire soda line is repulsive but their lemonade is decent. Coke itself is good but restaurants rarely have caffeine free and if I have any caffeine after 2pm or so I won't sleep that night, good if I'm on a long road trip, bad if I want to work in the morning.

Yes and no I think it depends on the one you get like I use to get the energy drink one they had and I'm sure it had little to no sugar in it just from the taste but to me it's like a liquid form of koolaid

I don't always drink soda.....
But when I do I drink Coke in a glass bottle.
Honestly thou all I really drink is water and beer. I add something similar to Mio to my water, its from the dollar store and cost like $2.50 and is good for ~24 bottles of water. I drink over a gallon a day so it doesn't last long lol.

I like the flavors of the energy ones, but I don't like being hopped up on caffeine. As for carrying them around with me all the time, no, I don't do that. I stock up on the Mio Sweet Tea flavor every other month and buy 8-10 of them. I throw half of those in my backpack to take to work and leave them there in one of my lockers. The others I keep in a cupboard at home. When I'm out at a restaurant or away driving I order sweet tea or pickup a few bottles of Pure Leaf, Tradewinds, or Gold Peak tea.
Oooh. Freezing cold Coke in glass bottles is so good. I hate you now for mentioning that.
I pay $3.50-3.75 for each container of Mio. I refill 18.5oz bottles of Pure Leaf Tea with it. One container of Mio yields about 15 bottles I'd say. By volume, that would be really close to a case of 12oz cans. I'm fairly sure a case of soda, for a good brand, will run over $5. RC might be cheaper if it can even be found anymore.

I'm gonna have to say water because recently, I started getting really bad stomach aches/cramps any time I drink soda, I don't know why.
I used to like Coke over Pepsi, but more recently liked either just as well, they each have their own flavor. I liked either one. But, now I can't really drink either without ending up in pain... so water it is.

I drink a fair amount of water and diet soda. I really like diet Sunkist Orange. Usually I opt for water when I am eating. Soda at restaurants is too expensive so I started drinking water when eating out. Now I drink water when eating at home or lunch time at work.
I have been lucky, no stones yet. That is one reason why I drink more water though, to keep from getting them. Another thing I have found since drinking lots more water and lots less soda. is -- I seem to have more energy, and in general I feel better.
