Whenever I quit coffee, my sweet tea consumption goes up. I do like putting unsweetened cranberry or cherry concentrate in a pitcher of water and adding stevia . . . you can do that with lemon juice too.

The best thing, I’ve found, is to drink as much water as possbile, because then you have less room for the other stuff . . . I know, I know, it’s not perfect :-) But at least it’s better than it used to be. It probably helped that coke changed packaging so much. Cans are doable, but I hate plastic, and there’s still nothing like glass.

Ohhhh. There IS a good coffee substitute called Techino. I love it, but I also love cream and sugar, so in the end, it’s not as much help as one might think!

As I leave this comment, I’m sipping my first Diet Coke of the morning (my replacement for coffee). Honestly, if it weren’t for the bubbles, I wouldn’t drink this nasty stuff. So how did you get off of “cokes?” I’m trying fruit juice with seltzer water and juice with plain water. So now I drink those also. Maybe it is the heat down here and my soda addiction will disappear once we relocate to New York.

Yes, it’s very hard to please everyone and someone is always further along their environmental education than we are. It’s nicer to be educated kindly though, huh? My old massage therapist would have a carafe of chilled water and a small glass for me when the massage was done. She would ask me to drink a glass of water before coming out of the room. It was such a nice ritual. In your context, perhaps this could be done in the lobby area so that you could prepare the room for the next client in a timely manner. Someone would then need to be in charge of washing the clients’ glasses. Just a thought.
