I've found the 6 bottles per day (approximately 15 8oz servings) to be pretty comfortable so far, but I'll certainly stay within moderation. The main point behind this is to excise the sugary junk! Good idea about tea as well, I personally love tea, and will likely include it in my diet after the month is over. Meg, thanks for the comment!

I pretty much gave up soda years ago and now I really can't stand the stuff (though obviously I have taken a sip here and there over the years, mostly out of curiousity). Now I drink mostly water and unsweetened tea. Occasionally I have some alcohol or something from Starbucks, but neither of those are even a weekly habit on average. Just be careful about overdoing it. You can actually drink too much water, which can be very dangerous. 8 glasses of water is more than enough for most people -- and those are 8oz glasses (and I can't remember the last time I even drank out of an 8oz glass). A lot of the "Drink lots more water" hype is overblown and lacks rigorous scientific testing. At the very least, pace yourself. Also, consider drinking unsweetened, decaf tea. It's got none of the sugar or other bad things you're trying to avoid, but is has more good things added than just plain water. It's also a lot nicer to drink, imho. Interesting idea!
