By Trey Gordon 9 May, 2023 2 mins read

Even if you don't drink soda, you probably know a lot about the big soda competitors. Pepsi, Coca-Cola and their products are as well-known as the brands themselves. Kendall Jenner's controversial Pepsi ad has recently made headlines. Because of their clever marketing strategies, it's probable that you've heard of these brands. If you are like me, then you have probably tried most of these popular drinks and may even know their names.

Consumption of non-alcoholic beverages

It is generally healthy to drink non-alcoholic beverages. The most popular non-alcoholic beverage in the United States is water. Water accounted for 51.2% non-alcoholic beverage consumption between 2015 and 2018. Milk, dairy milk substitutes, and milk added to cereal are all examples of non-alcoholic beverages. Non-alcoholic beverages include tea, coffee, as well as fruit beverages.

Consumption Sugary Drinks

A recent study revealed that nearly half of Americans aged 20 years and older had consumed sugar-sweetened beverages in a given day. On average, adults consumed 145 calories daily from sugary drinks. This represented 6.5% of their daily energy intake. The highest average sugary drink intake was found in young adults. However, non-Hispanic Asians ate the most sugary drinks. The causes of increased sugary drink intake are not known, but the American Beverage Association (ABA), has a variety of programs to encourage healthy calorie intake.

Water consumption

Despite recent conservation efforts in the U.S., water consumption is still high at 355 million gallons per hour. Utilities face competing demands. These include aging infrastructure, high per capita water consumption, and lower revenue from water use. The rising water cost results in higher water bills. This often hits low-income households hardest. Utility companies are exploring various options to meet rising water prices.

The Hpnotiq cocktail is made by mixing the following ingredients: rum and pineapple juice with ice. Blend well. Strain into a glass. Enjoy by garnishing with a piece of pineapple.

Italian soda

Italian sodas are usually made with carbonated waters, syrup, and occasionally fruit. Although most Italian sodas don't contain caffeine, some Italian sodas may include coffee syrup. The glass size and desired sweetness level determine how much syrup is used. A 16-ounce drink will require two to four pumpings. A taller glass will need half as much syrup or other additives. An Italian soda is often served with a straw that enables the drinker to stir the beverage before sipping it.
