That's because your headaches are caused by the withdraw of the caffiene!

Tis true.

Nothingggggggggggggggggggggggg.I sometimes drink water, juice, or milk, but nothing is as nice as Coke, and that's a fact.
Normal Coke!

Actually my headaches are epilepsy-related. So ner. 
Haha. But I switched to Diet 'cos of the calories and shiz.
But now you say Diet is bad for you in other ways.
I can't winn.

Well I don't want to drink too much of either then.
Although I won't stop altogether.
But what other drink goes so well with pizza/most other yummy food? Nuffink.

It's the aspartame that's the trouble. I think they've banned it in the US, but we haven't.

And a valid one! 
If I'd got headaches after not having any Coke for some days on end, then I'd have come to that conclusion. But going without causes me no trouble, so that theory is a nonsense in my case.

Yep, it's a f**king nightmare that stuff. Most drinks, even non-diet stuff like Tango, have it in. I think they recently started putting it in good old R. White's Lemonade too. 
Since giving up booze I've been drinking far more fizzy drinks, but generally I can only drink so much before they make me feel sick. Wish someone would come up with a range of less sweet soft drinks. Can you get "savoury" drinks? (Not strawgrass and turnip smoothies, none of that wank, but something like a - oh, I don't know!) 
Iced tea? I personally don't like it but it's a less acidic alternative.
Mmmnn, interesting. I love my teas and coffees, but when you're going out there's so few alternatives to booze. I think it's as much the habit of having a drink as what's in it, to be fair. Iced tea is something I like, so thanks for the tip.

I find Appletiser tends to be a bit kinder to the body but can be pricey in some places.
Yum, I like Appletiser. As I said, I just have to slowly get out of the habit of consuming up to 3 pints of fluid an hour when I go out. I can test my new found powers of restraint at the meet up next week.
Ah yes, I tried Appletiser for a while, it is quite nice.
