I drink almost no sodas, and drink either water or milk with meals, or the occasional glass of wine/beer. I have no desire to dress up my water with anything. I like water, and have never gotten bored with the taste. I also live within 2 miles of an artesian spring with the best tasting water I've ever had. Costs a dime a gallon, and my wife and I usually have about 35 gal on for drinking only. we fill up other containers with tap water for bathing, cooking, washing, etc. and keep about 40 gal on hand for that, not to mention the hot water tank, bath tubs, and sinks that we'd fill up if we needed to.
