How do I break a fizzy drink addiction?
-
It costs ~$150 to build your own CO2 carbonation setup. After that, refills are pretty infrequent at ~$10. That gets you relatively unlimited sparkling water.
If you're jonesing for specific flavors, flavor powders, extracts, and raw sucralose in bulk on Amazon will run you around $20, or ~$100 total for a decent assortment. It'll pay for itself in like a year and the powders will last you awhile.

i don't know if it's frowned upon but i think it's disgusting

My european mind can't comprehend making tea without an electric kettle, something that is very rarely used in the US

Its not sugary - he said Pepsi Max. And even if it was, get your judgemental ass out of here. OP literally posted this trying to get advice how to break the habit.

ok dude. whatever you call it. fake liquid garbage
im not a judgement. its a perspective from someone who refuses to allow that shit into his house

I'm not a dude.

that’s rather untrue. sugar is actually very addictive, and the quantity in soft drinks (they have additives that make them actually palatable - without they’d be so sweet you couldn’t drink much) makes them particularly problematic

Swap to a 0 calorie version and just keep enjoying it? Fizzy drinks are a pretty harmless vice in the grand scheme of things. Hollow calories, so if you can replace it with a 0 calorie version, it would at least stop affecting your weight.
I know everyone is against artificial sweeteners. They won't kill you faster than microplastics, pollution, break pad dust, war, alcohol, smoking,...
Enjoy life! Enjoy a fizzy drink! I thoroughly enjoy my daily coke zero can.

Electric kettles are great and I'd love to have an adjustable temperature kettle for precise heating. I usually heat my water in the microwave because it's quick and I only make a cup or two a day tops.

I love being a seltzer guy. Hop water is pretty good too.

What about the acidity though? Personally I love the taste of highly acidic beverages, but I'm worried if I drink them too often they could fuck up my teeth.

OP said they're drinking, Pepsi Max which has no sugar.

This feels like a trick... BDSM?
