I used to drink soda, mainly dr. pepper, like it was water...decided i wanted to be healthy again...

I try to drink at least a gallon of water a day...

When I need an alternative, I will generally have a small glass of ocean spray cran grape light. I try to stay away from generally anything with high fructose corn syrup in it so most other juices are out.

Diet sodas are ok every once in a while...

When working out gatorade and the like are ok, but if you aren't doing any real physical activity those drinks are doing more harm than good.

I don't like it, but health magazines have been saying that black coffee is excellent for you, especially in the morning...boosts your metabolism and keeps you alert. I also don't drink alcoholic beverages, but a beer or glass of wine a day is healthy.
