Ok, so I drink too much diet soda. I keep hearing how bad it is for me, and I am willing to try and cut back on it. I'd love to give it up one day, but for now I just want to cut back. 
However, I do not want to get caffiene withdrawl headaches. I can't function then, and I will give in and have a soda. 
So... I understand tea is good for you. 
I hate regular tea. Like iced tea? Yuck. It tastes like dirty water to me. But I also know there are more teas out there, and some of them must not taste like crap. 
I don't really like hot drinks, so if there is something I can drink in a cold form, that would be better. I am mostly wanting to eventually give up soda because of the carbonation, which I keep hearing makes you puffy. And I could do with less aspertame. 
Any thoughts?

They have the most incredible tea on earth. Azteca fire tea is the most complex and delicious tea i have ever had. It is like tasting a fine wine when you go in there <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif">
