At the time of day when I'm drinking pop, I need a bit of caffeine, so I don't usually. Also, it's hard to find caffeine-free pop that isn't also diet, especially of discount brands. Grocery stores sometimes have it, convenience stores almost never do. I think I'd rather just go without for a few months for the most part. I drink Sprite sometimes as an alternative to the caffeinated colas, and that satisfies my craving for fizz.
