    Yeah, I think the main reason is cutting out all of the sugar that’s in sodas. I also started drinking a lot of tea. Mostly chai, but it’s much cheaper and without most of the sugar.

      I’m a dirty slut for iced tea, but not the cloyingly sweet stuff that you’ll find in restaraunts. And you’re right it’s much cheaper. A box of 22 gallon-sized tea bags is like $5.

      There is a great XKCD that shows comparisons for the amount of sugar in a soda, and it’s wild. A 20 oz coca-cola has as much sugar as three cadbury creme eggs.
