Is there a good way to get your teenager to avoid drinking soda all of the time?

Don't subsidize/use: Parents of teens have more influence than they think & some obvious tools that are overlooked.To decrease soda use, don't pay for any more and commit to there being none in the house. If you think a soda sunday is cool, make it happen, but don't think a teen will comply with half hearted measures. If they go to the "cool parents " house to drink sodas, let them, & let them know you love them anyway.

Yes: Don't buy soda! and further limit the money your child gets if they don't stop buying the soda.
