I used to drink (I kid you not) a half-case of Mountain Dew every day. One day I simply decided to stop and I had the WORST headache for two days straight. It might not be a good thing to quit cold turkey, so I'll recommend dropping one can of soda every 2-3 days until you are off of it so that your body can adjust. If you absolutely need soda, I recommend drinking caffeine-free diet Coke. Yes, it tastes like ass, but it'll give you a soda-fix while sparing you the calories and caffeine. Also, you should check out soda-alternatives like Fresca. I hated it as first, but there's almost nothing in it and the taste grows on you...that is, if you absolutely have to drink a carbonated beverage. Good luck!
