What is America's Favorite Drink? 02.21.18

Who says Americans aren’t healthy?  According to Beverage Digest, which tracks the U.S. beverage industry, America’s favorite drink is now…WATER.  That’s the first time in almost 30 years that water has beat soda.

The average American now drinks 58 gallons of water a year.  That averages out to just over 20 ounces a day.  Soda is second most popular.  We drink an average of 44 gallons of soda a year, or about 15-and-a-half ounces a day.

That’s a huge flip from 1998.  In 1998, soda drinking peaked at an average of 54 gallons a year and water was at 42 gallons.

What’s the big change? We’re drinking more bottled water now…about 21 gallons per person, per year.  So the major soda companies are probably fine with water surpassing soda since Coke owns Dasani and Pepsi owns Aquafina.

The average American drinks 23 gallons of coffee a year, or about eight ounces a day and 20.2 gallons of milk a year, or about seven ounces a day.
