Iced tea, easy on the sugar, or maybe even flavoured with honey and/or lemon is nowhere near as bad for you as soda. It's just boiled water and leaves plus whatever sweeteners you use, and there's probably isn't nearly as much sugar in a glass of tea as in a can of soda. And some teas, green teas, for instance, are very good for you. Juice, I'll give you, it has tons of sugar in it; my aunt has diabetes and needs to watch out when it comes to eating and drinking fruit and fruit juice. But at least fruit juice has vitamins in it, whereas soda has nothing. Even if you drank all three sparingly, which would really be a good idea anyway, soda would easily be the worst for you.
Sorry for that, but I felt a need to defend tea. Although this debate is making me very glad that soda tastes quite awful to me already.
