DescriptionAddiction is a word commonly associated with hard drugs and vices such as cocaine, heroin, alcohol, and cigarettes. Here, we attempted to broaden the scopes of modern clinical addiction to include that of carbonated beverages. In addition to becoming chemically addicted to illicit & licit drugs, we are susceptible to forming addiction to everyday activities like the consumption of food and drink. Consistent consumption of soda is known to produce behaviors both with predictable patterns and ill side effects. Regulation of public soda consumption has been unsuccessful. Nevertheless, we seek to bring awareness to the dangers of daily soft drink intake. One subject with a Pepsi ONE addiction was examined in this research. After reviewing many prior methodologies of rehabilitation, a route to quit the harmful habit based on the subject’s lifestyle was provided. Similar templates may be utilized to help others needing assistance in abolishing their own vices.
