My partner loves his soft drink, but in the interests of weight loss he is trying to give it up. He has discovered that soda water has the bubbles that give him that soft drink "feeling" and so he is happy. And bonus he drinks more water and it is cheaper than soft drink. WIN, WIN, WIN! Just be care to use only carbonated water not mineral water which has alot of sodium in it :)
