    @nem most likely varies from person to person

    @nem it's different for everybody, but i averaged about 2 to 3 litres of Pepsi max a day for the last 7 years. The longer you have it, the harder it is to cut it out. I'm cutting it down slowly now. I've had no medical issues from it myself, but it's best not to tempt fate. My advice is that it's tough going cold turkey on it overnight, and it's better that you ease yourself of it over time instead. For example, I went from 4 litres a day at my worst, to 3, then to 2 over a period of time, and now i'm on 1 litre a day. Hoping to cut that down again, but it doesn't help that it's summer. Easing yourself of it is 100% the best way to go.
