Bottled water took over carbonated soft drinks as
Americans' favorite drink during 2016 for the first time ever,
according to Beverage Marketing, a research and consulting
company. US consumers bought 12.8 billion gallons of bottled
water versus 12.4 billion gallons of carbonated soft drinks.
This once again shows the power of advertising.
Marketers have
convinced people to purchase something that is natural, almost
universally available, and mostly free vs. something that is
artificially created in a lab. In some places water has a higher
price than soft drinks. I have this pet rock. . .

How Much Water
Speaking of hydration, North American
companies use 1.39 liters of water to make one liter of bottled
water. That is less than the global averages of a liter of soda,
which requires 2.02 liters of water. A liter of beer needs 4 liters
of water, wine needs 4.74 liters. Hard alcohol guzzles 34.55 liters
of water for every liter.

Soft Drink Facts
Soft Drink refers to nearly all beverages
that do not contain significant amounts of alcohol as hard drinks
do.
The term soft drink is typically used mostly for flavored carbonated beverages and that is because of advertising. Flavored carbonated beverage makers were having a difficult time creating national advertisements due what people call their product varies from place to place.
In parts of the United States and Canada, flavored carbonated beverages are referred to as “pop”; in other parts “soda”; in yet other parts “coke”; and there are a variety of other names commonly used as well. In England these drinks are called fizzy drinks and in Ireland called minerals.
Since beverage makers can’t refer to their product in the generic sense in national or international advertisements due to the varied terms, they have chosen the term soft drink to be more or less a universal term for flavored carbonated beverages.
