I don't know how big a big gulp is, but I probably drink that much water in a day, maybe more. Can't do sugary drinks, although orange juice with full pulp is great after a long ride on a hot summer day.
But if people are drinking too much soda that doesn't mean they should stop eating apples, better, and baby carrots (ok not a fruit, but delicious and sweet).
You need variety and nutrition in your diet. Cutting out 1 of 3 nutrient groups hinders that, probably makes it impossible.
