Heavens, yes. My cousin was suffering short-term memory loss after
drinking multiple 2-liters daily. Drink water. Water is good for you. If
you need it sweet, throw in a shot of fruit juice or something. If you
need taste, herbal tea in some flavors works well. If you need the
caffeine, it's probably a good idea to wean yourself from it so that you
need less, and/or drink green tea. Celestial Seasonings Green Tea has some
good flavors, and Yamamotoyama tea comes in a ginger that is really nice.

But really, lay off the aspartame. Stuff that gives me screaming migraines
can't possibly be good for you.
