Have you tried drinking black or green teas? They can give you a pretty good kick and theyre much better for you of course. Try either, shaken with ice and a little Splenda! Also, I would try cutting back slowly...like subtracting 1 a week then 2 and then to the point where you are drinking none. But try the tea!

My easy answer…cut back on cokes, and replace them with something else, like tea, then drink more water, gradually cut back on your sugar and caffeine intake. Kill the energy drinks totally. Try using half-caff coffee for awhile.

Do not go cold turkey on caffeine, go slowly, you might get sick otherwise.

As a recovering pop junkie I have some advice…

DO NOT try and quit cold turkey! You will get massive withdrawal headaches and may even get sick.

There are several approaches that you could try…

If you have good will power you can try and limit yourself to a certain amount of pop a day (tell yourself you are going to have “x” number of cans a day). Say you are going to have 4 cans a day for one week. Then, the next week try 3 a day, then the next week try 2 a day, then the next week try 1 a day, and then slowly start spacing the interval out on the 1 a day into 1 every 2 days, 1 every 3 days, etc. This can take some time, but it SLOWLY weans it out of your system.

Another method involves the diet version of your drink of choice. Say you are drinking regular Dr. Pepper…Try mixing Diet Dr. Pepper into your regular Dr. Pepper slowly. Start by pouring 3/4 of a glass of Dr. Pepper and adding 1/4 a glass of Diet Dr. Pepper. Eventually over a few weeks, you will end up replacing the Dr. Pepper with Diet Dr. Pepper. While, the diet versions of soda are really not that much better than the regular versions, you can still get your “soda fix”.

Yet another method involves diluting your favorite soda over time with water. Much like the Regular/Diet method, you will end up completely diluting your regular soda with water. Water is much healthier than soda and will be a good choice.

Finally, don’t cut soda/energy drinks out of your system completely, it will be very hard. Right now, I can go a whole week without a soda. Because of that, I “reward” myself once a week with a Dr. Pepper or Coke. I don’t crave the soda as much, and I don’t get the headaches either.

You don’t have to …
You don’t have to tell me man, I definitely learned my lesson after the kidney stones about brushing it off when you notice yourself ing out blood.

Kidney stones will …
Kidney stones will do that to you, I’ve never had them personally. My dad did though, and he bought a huge Bubba Keg and will drink water all day. He will drink nothing else, I find it odd, but he says if I ever got them I’d do the same thing.

As for energy drinks I prefer Nos, then Monster, and finally Rockstar. I rarely drink any others.

I think I use quite a few commas when I type, but I rarely let it bug me.

Dude, that can’t be …
Dude, that can’t be good for you. I like to collect the energy drink cans too, but i only drink like one a week. You must drink 1+ of those a day to have that many cans.

Wow, Thats about 5 cans a day! I doubt you have drinken 675 energy drinks in 4 months because if you have, you probably wouldn’t be living to tell about it.

Instead of steady …
Instead of steady consumption, I usually spend like a weekend drinking 10 or so, then I go cold turkey for like 2 weeks. (Mostly because i’m out of money…) I think more of the bad stuff goes through me if i have it all at once; there’s no time to build it up like if i drank them regularly, once a day or week.

well, nothings good …
well, nothings good for you if you have enough of it. I may drink 10 in a weekend, but I go cold turkey (mostly because i’m out of money) for weeks after a big purchase. I’m alot better off than the addicts that drink a monster every day. Plus, the country is rampant with cubicle dwellers that drink gallons of coffee per day, but nobody preaches to them. Not that you are though. Thanks for the comment.
