why not try diluting juice, i'm not much of a soda person, but i'm not that keen on water either, unless it's bottled but that can be expensive..so i usualy get myself diluting juice, i usualy get vimto or the oceon spray diluting cranberry is nice. if you're worried about the sugar content theres also plenty of suger free diluting.
if its the fizz you miss just get some carbonated water (the fizzy stuff) an mix it with some diluting, then you'll have a healthy soda!
