So I'm trying to cut out soda

Maybe try a Riesling or Pinot Grigio.

Yeah I don't think wine is the proper substitute. Try some different flavored sparkling waters and see if there's one you enjoy.

Also, I wouldn't recommend going completely cold turkey if that's how much you were drinking cokes before. What will (in all likelihood) happen is that you'll go a while without a single coke, and then as soon as you break you'll go right back to the old routine.

Try putting a limit on how many you can have in a week, maybe 3 or so. Then stick to that. Slowly change that to 2 a week, then 1, and before you know it you won't have that constant craving for one.

Try La Croix

This. But remember to treat it like water, not coke. What I mean by that: a lot of people don’t like La Croix because they’re comparing it to sugary soft drinks instead of other carbonated waters. You may not think it’s flavorful enough at first, but get through a whole pack and you’ll like it.

I used to crave the light burn of that carbonation, too, and La Croix filled that void in a guilt-free way.

Favorite flavors:
-Cerise Limón (Cherry Lime)
-Pamplemousse (Grapefruit)
-Cran-Raspberry

Like others said, try LaCroix but hit it with a splash of Mio. You'll get the bubbles and the sweet with none of the calories.

well what about a diet coke?

That's like 1500-2000 calories a day just in liquid.

Might as well drink Diet Coke if you’re going to add Mio.

What I am looking for is something I can enjoy at a restaurant, for example.

Ask if they have sparkling waters such as Perrier, Pellegrino, etc. Yes, others may think you are a bit of a douche bag. But if you are trying to quit soda but still want the "burn", it's a nice alternative.

I just limit myself to 1 or 2 cokes a week. And when I do have one, I dont go the bullshite diet route. I find that I'm able to scratch that itch while also not pumping my body full of needless sugar every day.

do or do not...there is no try
