I'm currently in the middle of giving up coke(soda) for lent. Have cheated on a couple Sundays (the first because I had soda that I didn't want wasted, the second because I was driving a few hours starting at about 10 PM). It hasn't really been that bad. Basically I just don't buy soda when I go to the grocery store and buy gatorade and juice instead. Don't drink coffee so the only other caffeine I get is from a couple cups of sweet tea I've drank. Will definitely be drinking less coke in the future.

the best reason for giving up coke is not for the caffeine but for the sugar. 39g of sugar per coke can. Cokes are fricking awful for you

That's a ton of sugar. Plenty of weight loss plans eliminate caffeine.

Thanks for the info. Just another reason to keep coke intake to a minimum even after Easter. Currently only drinking about 50oz of water a day, need to get that up as well.

Where is that coming from? I was wanting to get it up closer to 64oz or 8 glasses a day.
