I drink anywhere between 2 liters to a case a day of diet soda, usually Dr. Pepper or Mt Dew sometimes Pepsi Max. I do the NOS shots every now and then, I expect a boost of energy but usually they just make me more tired.
I have been off and on caffeine for years and I will say after about 2 weeks caffeine free I am less agitated, able to sleep better and more energetic. Caffeine also dehydrates you as does the carbonation, which may explain why I get more energetic away from it.
I just love soda tho. If the stores carried caffeine free Dew or Dr. Pepper on a regular basis, I'd switch permanently to them in heartbeat. Hell, if Propel was the same price I'd rink it. Instead a 4 pack costs more than a six pack of soda and Propel goes down a hell of a lot faster.
On a side note, yesterday I quit smoking... well I had 4 all day (couldn't waste the ones I had). I"ve journaled about it on Facebook how I prepared and identified the addiction. It's not too bad right now just psychological more than anything. I'm sure the physical will kick in soon enough.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
