I admit I used to drink a lot of soft drinks because of the energy boost it gives me.
People who drink too many sugar sweetened soft drinks might be at a higher risk of developing cancer and gout later in life and I decided to stop for that reason.
Now I haven't eliminated drinking sodas completely, however I found you can get much more energy from green tea or coffee than a carbonated beverage. I am surprised more people haven't caught on to it. Green teas are readily available and taste pretty good.
