Once in a while I'll drink a high quality Root Beer, but all the cheap machine-available stuff, even my formerly beloved Dr Pepper, is just undrinkable now. Of course, I just replaced them with more coffee and tea, and I probably replaced the sugar with more solid forms of sugar, so I'm not claiming any significant victory over my monkeys here.

Let us know how it goes. I have never given anything up for Lent (or adopted a discipline or meaningful ritual for Lent). But as newly minted Anglican I think that I should. You sound quite attached to this soda. If you can stop that for this interum, then I can do similarly. Thanks for the motivation! Good luck! Let us know how it goes.
