I've gone 3 years without soda or soft drinks in my life.

[Insomnia]

I drink sodas sometimes these days, in my 20s I was constantly, weighed a good 280lbs. In my early 30s I stopped and started working out regularly and eating better. Just about 39 now and for the last 9yrs have kept around 180-190lbs mainly from cutting soda out and deducing junk food heavily and continue to working out. Feel better now than I ever did.
