After a while, anything carbonated will make you feel bloated. At least that's been my experience. When I have soda now, I have a good one, like a Jones, with real sugar, not corn syrup. But they still make me feel bloated.

I gave up DC for tea, and then I got tired of paying the same for tea that I paid for Diet Coke in restaurants ($1.89 for unsweetened TEA?), so I switched to ordering water. Now I only drink unsweetened tea from McDonald's, every once in a while, because it's only a $1.00 for the large. (at participating locations!)

Go ahead and give up that last one. You won't miss it.
