There is a proposed new tax on sweet beverages, like sodas and energy drinks - the ones filled with corn syrup and loaded with terrible calories. This tax is meant to help fight obesity and go toward paying for health care reform. While it is problematic, it's a step in the right direction.
As an alternative and refreshing treat, I recommend brewing iced tea in your refrigerator (an idea inspired by Larissa). Celestial Seasonings teas are great, but just use your favorite. Put 2-3 tea bags in 4-5 cups of room-temperature water. Let it get cold in the fridge. Sweet!

Mmm, also delicious...sun tea. Put six tea bags (I use green but a mix of green and regular is good too) in a pitcher of water (Add fresh mint if you like). Let it sit outside in the hot sun for the day. Sweeten with raw sugar or not. Into the fridge.
A summer staple of mine!!
