"US Soda Consumption at Its Lowest Level in 30 Years" [1]

"Americans trying to kick their soda habit are succeeding, with soda consumption in the U.S. at its lowest level in 30 years, according to a new report.

In 2015 the per capita consumption of carbonated soft drinks was its lowest level since 1985, according to Beverage Digest, a trade publication.

Annual per capita soda consumption in the U.S. fell to about 650 eight-ounce servings last year, compared to 663 servings in 2014, factoring in lower volume and a modest increase in the U.S. population, the report stated."
