What healthy alternatives are there to soda? I know it sounds like I'm lying but I've never drank a glass of water in my entire life. Ever since my youth my mother gave me nothing but soda and orange juice and now I'm an adult and I'm incapable of even taking sips of water. It makes me gag for some reason. I've drank 4-5 cans of soda everyday. My dad has recently got diagnosed with diabetes and my mother gets kidney stones so I'd like to quit drinking soda and switch to water (or at least something healthier). I know I should go see a therapist or something but I thought I would start here

Dublin Dr. Pepper:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dublin_Dr_Pepper

I found a bottle once when I was working out of Berkeley CA, I visited a deli and they had some on the shelf. i liked Dr Pepper so I figured what the hell. Good god it was the greatest thing I have ever tasted. I don't know what witchcraft they performed in Dublin Texas but goddamn this was MILES better than any other soda like it.

As the Wiki says it got into a dispute with the Major Dr. Pepper Snappe Group and they discontinued making it but DPSG still uses the "Dublin Dr. Pepper" name in Texas but it tastes nowhere near the original Dublin formula. (When I visited Texas in 2014 I made it a point to Visit the Dublin bottling plant as well.)
