I recently "realized" that I have been having too much of aerated soft drinks while at work(a litre/day). Moreover, on weekends when i dont get my dose of caffeine, my head aches. Any body here have this problem? I want to give up on this crazy habit but somehow cant!!

Caffeine is a drug, and you do become addicted to it:

Withdrawal symptoms—possibly including headache, irritability, an inability to concentrate, drowsiness, insomnia and pain in the stomach, upper body, and joints—may appear within 12 to 24 hours after discontinuation of caffeine intake, peak at roughly 48 hours, and usually last from one to five days, representing the time required for the number of adenosine receptors in the brain to revert to "normal" levels, uninfluenced by caffeine consumption.

Hooh, yea, caffeine is a hell of a drug: Beware the Perils of Caffiene Addiction. I only drink one can of soda a day, but it's got so much crap in it (brominated what?) I still feel guilty.
Speaking of which, anybody try Mountain Dew or Pepsi Throwback with real sugar? I'm not a cola connoisseur, so to me it just tastes different. Not better or worse.

I have heard that coca-cola is prepared from the insect. This insect's name is Cochineal.
These is ripened in the Canary island and Mexico.

It made one step in the direction of the prohibiting with Coca-Cola cause was harmful to the health of India high law-court before. In Latvia was prohibited Coca-Cola and Pepsi in the schools of primary education from behind. It was prohibited in the Ukraine in the some schools and in the schools of England recently. Istanbul was prohibited in the center of demonstration professions in the near future.

Cochineal is used in loads of food products, but I don't think it is used in Coca Cola.

Here in the US the government is considering taxing soda to fund health care.

Cochineal is used in loads of food products, but I don't think it is used in Coca Cola.

There are some red food dyes that are made from insect shells, but Coca Cola contains nothing made from insects. It contains no meat and no dairy based chemicals or components, either -- at least not in America. I know this because Orthodox Rabbis have declared it kosher to drink with either dairy or meat meals. Orthodox Jews do not consume dairy and meat products in the same meal, and invertebrates are generally prohibited (with only a very few very narrow exceptions).

I confess I have been an addict ever since I started to use the computer (1990). I only started to code (C ) in 1999 but without drinking Cola I feel totally strange. Managed to resist for 1 week though .
