If you're curious there's an interesting rabbit hole regarding a contract that Coca-Cola made with Microsoft for a billion dollars. At first glance you'd think MS would have no reason to partner with a food company for that much money, it doesn't make sense. But it does, it's just that most people don't understand how the world really works. It has to do with the Internet of People / the Internet of Bio-Nano Things. What does coke have that's worth a billion dollars? An "in" into your body. An addiction to coke isn't necessarily just a sugar or caffeine thing.
Anyway, you don't need to understand or even believe in the small details, just know that switching to something else is smarter - actually, dumber... which is smarter. For example a small business who sells full sugar cola isn't going to have weird contracts with tech giants. Try to move your "addiction" somewhere else first. You can worry about full discontinuation later. To the extent that you can't move your addiction, that's the "magic" Coca-Cola effect, but keep trying.
