I drink 50% regular water, 50% herbal teas. Never drank sodas, if you're not used to them they taste far too sweet. I used to drink a lot of coffee, but I have quit caffeine completely, with 1 exception. I drink 1 cup of coffee the day after my night shifts, because this helps me feel ok that day. If you don't drink coffee regularly you notice two things when you do: 1. it's very very bitter. 2. the effect of caffeine is really quite strong. I feel like I'm on drugs that day. After quitting coffee I got a little bit bored with just water, I missed drinking something warm, so I started with herbal teas. I now have a large collection of herbs and I started to appreciate all these different tastes.

I've been reducing my sugar intake and recently fully quit caffeine. I was never big on sodas but I recently had one at a work lunch because it was the only option available and it was shocking how overly sweet it seemed

Yup, same thing with people who drink sugar in their coffee, than quit this habit for a little while and then add sugar once: suddenly you taste how incredibly sweet it becomes and how different the taste is and you can't imagine how you've been drinking that shit for so long. You get used to sugar very very quickly and things with less sugar will become unappetizing.
