Matthew - I am also a huge Pepsi drinker. Most days I can stay at 1 can or a 710ml bottle. But other days I'll have 2 or 3 cans or even 2 or 3 bottles of the stuff. It just depends on what I am doing.
I know that quite often I drink the stuff without even realizing what I am doing - - sort of from habit, you know? Having pizza? Well, I must have some Pepsi with it then. Same with chicken wings, or nachos or other fast foods.
If I'm having a Subway sandwich I have to have a bag of chips (not the Baked kind, either!), too.
One thing I have noticed this past year, though. That sometimes I can't actually taste the Pepsi. I know I'm drinking a carbonated drink but it doesn't "taste right." When that happens I'll sort of delay when I'll have a Pepsi - - I'll have ice water or ice tea with lunch instead. Then I'll try wait until later in the afternoon to have Pepsi. Usually I can hold out until I get the withdrawal headache.

But if you are serious about wanting to kick the Pepsi (or any soda drink, for that matter) you can try what I did last year. When you get really sick with a cold just don't drink Pepsi. Drink watered down juice or water with a slice of lemon or hot tea with lemon or honey. Then you blame the Pepsi "withdrawal headache" on being sick. When you start to feel better you won't even miss the Pepsi - - at least I didn't. I managed to stay off the stuff for almost 6 months. Now I find it is easier to put off drinking it or even avoid it altogether for a couple days.
However, I am currently still drinking the stuff - just not as much as I used to. And I alternate - for every can I drink I must drink a couple glasses of water. If I drink a 710ml bottle then I have a litre of water.
At first I hated drinking water too. But I find that in the summer it is the best thing for me.
