For some reason, I can't get my day started without a shot of Diet Pepsi. I've tried tea, but it just doesn't do the trick (not enough texture) -- and coffee feels too heavy. If anyone has some suggestions for healthier alternatives to get my day started, I'd like to hear them -- please leave your comments below! (mark private if desired)
P.S. Healthier in this context means (i) with safer or no sweeteners, (ii) with higher (more neutral) pH, and (iii) anything else you can think of.

So, you like to dring diet pepsi.
This means to me that: (a) you are concerned about calorie intake, and/or (b) you like some swetness in your drink, and/or (c) you, perhaps, like the dark color, and/or (d) you, perhaps, like the fizz.
If the fizz is the most sigificant factor, then a fizzy designer- water with some sugar in it, could do the trick for you; it could aslo work as your bridge to the other side where you do not need anything other than plain water or a glass

Sorry it to me a while to find this comment -- Demetri and I should add a notification system for this.
Yeah, I think if I could find a zero-calorie fizzy water with a pleasant flavoring and less chemicals than Diet Pepsi, that would probably do the trick for me. Do you have any suggestions along those lines? I'd be interested :)

I will check out health food stores here, and see whether I can find something fizzy, in a can, with a pleasant taste and zero or low calories.
I will get back to you.

Yes, I'm determined to find a healthy alternative to Diet Pepsi -- I'd even be willing to it buy online if I found something I really liked, and there are so many options. So, if you stumble onto something particularly good, please do let me know (of course, please don't go out of your way just for this).
Cheers,
Jonathan
