Calorie-wise, it's much better than a sugared soda, but as one of the previous people pointed out, it is believed that artificial sweetners set off the same insulin reaction as sugar, which isn't great. But you aren't consumming as many calories which is a good thing. I've never heard about carbonated drinks not being good. I think they're fine as long as they're not loaded with sugars and chemicals. One of the tastiest drinks I love is sparkling water with a splash (like 2 tablespoons) of juice -- cranberry, orange, grape. Over ice it's really refreshing and very few calories.
