Hello there,
Maybe its just a taste based addiction. You like the taste of the drink hence you at some level crave for it.
A word to the wise-Sugar free drinks carry their own set of hazards like making you kidneys overwork as the sugarfree agents like aspartame/saccharin/sucralose are excreted by your kidney and hence damage it in the long run.So if you can switch over to fruit juices or coffee instead of these it would be good for your health in the long run.
Thank you for your query,
Dr Arun A
