9. Homemade soda. If you just can't quit the fizz completely, make your own at home. When you control the ingredients, you control the health quality, too. Those who own a soda machine can prepare their own pop. If you don't have a machine, just wing it. It's just sugar, water and fruits for flavoring, combined with a small amount to some sparkling water. It might not be the perfect solution, but you could lower the sugar content. 

10. Water. It might not be as jazzy as the other options listed here, but we should all drink plenty of water every day. The general rule of thumb is no less than 64 ounces a day for optimum health. Start by subbing out one or two sodas a day with a glass of water and work your way up from there. Even starting small will cut significant liquid calories from your diet. 

Going soda-free doesn't have to mean going taste-free. There are plenty of healthy alternatives to soda that taste good and won't do the damage done by excessive cans of cola.
