It will take a while, but new generations can breed out the attraction to these drinks by raising children without giving them said drinks. The makers of sugary and “diet” sodas won’t be in business if people stop buying their products. From a young age, parents can provide juice and other unsweetened drinks in place of commercial sodas. Fruit juice is very sweet, containing a huge amount of natural sugar—so you still get the “sugar high” of a soft drink, but also nutritional value. As to the carbonation, add some soda water to your juice to get the enjoyment of the bubbles and fizz.
