For me it's not the sugar it's the caffeine. Also the taste and bubbles. But caffeine is a physical addiction that is literally painful to break.

How about switching over to tea or coffee? Both lack sugar and are full of anti-oxidants.

I've tried but they taste awful. Even if I get one of those sugary carmel chocolate starbucks things I can't get past the awful taste of the coffee. Ultimately I need to just quit caffeine but every time I end up back on the wagon.

There's this guy Tynan(tynan.com). He hated the taste of unsweetened tea too, but he made the switch by drinking copious amounts of green tea for two weeks until he had trained himself to enjoy it.

It could be worth a try.
