I love soft drinks with carbonated water and flavorings, I think I am addicted
I used to be addicted to the diet variety, but have been weaned from them for some years now.
Mine are sweetened with high fructose syrup how did you break the addiction?
I just did it, not particular method.  I can still can have one once in while without falling into addiction again.
alcohol drinks are called hard and cokes are soft because they have no alcohol
