Matt - many folks miss the flavor of soda, as plain water can get boring quickly.

Kombucha is a decent substitute, and can be very cost effective as well if home brewed.

One thing I dreaded were social situations where everyone has a drink.  Even N/A beer can have empty calories one doesn't need.  

A friend showed me how a tumbler with some ice, filled with club soda and then with a half dozen dashes of bitters makes not only a nice tasting drink, but looks "business enough" that no one suspects you are watching calories.

But if I have access, kombucha is my first choice, as the side benefits make it worthwhile including in one's diet in the first place.
