Is it normal to be addicted to soda?

Soda is like my energy booster. As soon as I get my hands on it, I just go crazy. It tastes sooo awesome. I get shaky and mad when I don't have it in my system. Theres also a downfall to being so addicted to this. I'm in my early teens so my face breaks out to almost anything. I also have eczema. Basically, it's very unhealthy for my skin. I tried turning to something like that clear soda (forgot what its called xD) but its not as much as a rush. Is this normal ?

    If there's anything I can claim to be, it's that I'm a soda addict. If I don't drink at least one soda a day, my whole day will feel like it's off. But three is usually the maximum amount of soda I drink a day.

    So yes, I think it's normal :)

    I used to be a soda addict. I drank at least five glasses of soda a day for most of my life until I was seventeen. Then eventually I switched to tea, and never went back. I can barely even drink a full glass of soda now, it just doesn't taste good anymore. You should cut down on the soda too, it'll be good for your health in the long run.

    I heard that the 'fizz' reacts with saliva and becomes slightly acidic. The nerves on the tongue interpret this as 'pain'. They alert the brain which releases endorphins to compensate. I think this along with all the sugar make soda very addicting.

    It is just the caffeine and sugar high that you enjoy. Have you ever tried an "Energy Drink", like RED BULL? I don't recommend them, because they are bad for your body, but people drink soda, and coffee and energy drinks because of the caffeine. It gives you a false sense of energy and when it ends, you crash, and crave more. My 12 year old step-son, admittedly is addicted to soda, for these reasons. We have tried to warn him about how bad soda is for his teeth, and his body, but he sneaks them and gets them from his mom and step-dad all of the time. At our house, he gets one on a special occasion. A B-12 injection will give you energy, or Vitamin C. Multi Vitamins are also better for you.
