Jul 05, 2017 · What’s incredible is that the average American is drinking about 45 gallons of pop every year. In total that is 375 pounds of pop that pass through your system in 365 days. Even crazier is the sugar. 45 gallons of pop totals roughly 470 cans in one calendar year.

Well due to the amount of production and sales people are either drinking it, or buying it and pouring it out.

I've witnessed many people who drink only soda and end up in the ED with dehydration issues. I've seen even more who end up with massive diabetic issues exclusively due to liquid sugar consumption. 3 "sodas" a day is very common, some in active care environments have to be reminded to drink water.

The most memorable incidents were people in their late 30's getting a renal failure diagnosis due to daily energy drink consumption. Most won't see age 50. Energy drinks for many have replaced coffee and people drink gallons of coffee a year.

As you can get water from a soda station/vendor and are they going to separate bottles of water vs. soda? And there is some discrepancy in the numbers.

Probably in the range of 200 liters per year. Ya' gotta' hydrate here in the desert. I should probably cut down, ...but I probably won't.

When I go to Ajo AZ, I work to make it 3/4 gal a day. Stopped Pop, and Beer, about a year ago. Felt a huge difference, and lost 20 lbs. Only 20 more to go. then at a svelte 220.

"As you can get water from a soda station/vendor and are they going to separate bottles of water vs. soda?"

Yes.

Soda vending machines are inventoried by product so that when its time to restock a machine they know how much of each item is distributed. Water, Soda, Tea, etc. are all in separate inventory as they are all separate product. Sales trends by product are tracked so appropriate stock can be distributed by geographical consumption trend.

These surveys specifically relate to carbonated beverage consumption. The real issue is that the "average" is skewed as some people drink almost nothing but soda, and some never at all.

That would lower consumption to 1/3 if they are calculating by cup sales.

Not by calculation of sales.

If I buy 1 liter of soda, pour it into a glass with ice do I throw out the remaining 2/3rds? Typically I would say ice does not mean less consumption, just diluted soda.

If McDonalds purchases 10,000 gallons of pressurized keg soda each month (as in Soda Company Sales) and add ice to cup sales, do they discard 2/3rds of each keg?

None of the links seem to work, or say where the numbers come from except the last, which mentions a survey.

By survey, ice content might not be accounted for.
I didn't count for it myself.
My 200 liters might be revised to 100 liters
Make a more realistic amount for my consumption.
I only weigh 145lbs... very low body fat, and I do actually eat food. Grin
