I tried giving up carbonated drinks, mainly due to my Diet Coke addiction, about a month ago and I did have some success. I stayed away from fizzy drinks for 10 days, but eventually gave up through boredom due to a lack of variety and drinks. I don't drink tea or coffee as I am really offended by their horrible smell, I really don't understand peoples addiction to these substances!
I drank a drink called Oasis (in the UK at least) which is basically a glorified orange squash, sometimes Orange juice, but generally I found the selection to be very bland and very boring. I honestly think that there are some large gaps in the drinks markets due to a lack of variety.
I think next time I give up the Coke I will allow myself to drink fizzys still as the idea of Perrier is a good alternative, although very expensive for what it is.
Price I feel is a big part of the problem with alternative drinks, carbonated drinks are very cheap, yet the alternatives are not - or you get significantly less to quench your thirst.

Do we know if he lost the game? If I'd been playing Starcraft for 50 hours and lost I think I would lose the will to live too!
