I second this, and would add that taste buds are more elastic than many assume. Drinking less sweet drinks can be underwhelming at first but your tastes do adjust fairly quickly and can often get to the point where mildly or unsweetened drinks taste as good or even better than the sugary stuff does, and the stuff that used to taste normal will be too sweet. Drinks like tea and coffee have a lot of flavor that that comes out without so much sugar.

One issue is that if you're buying drinks there are very few intermediate options. I don't mind a little sugar but if I'm traveling and stop at a store the drink options are usually 97% super sweet (artificial or otherwise) and 3% zero sweetness, with nothing in between.
