Oh, and reformed alcoholics. I forgot about reformed alcoholics. They drink soda too.

Forgive the hyperbole in this thread, but I can't help finding it amusing how easily triggered people are by this issue. Sugary drinks - including most alcoholic beverages - are a serious public health problem in the United States and just one of many examples of how our culture is completely unable to tell people that it is bad to indulge too much in certain things because they hurt other people or our future selves.

Why single out drinks as being bad? Processed food is bad for you, McDonald's food is bad and all those other fast food places, and so many other things that you buy in the store are simply crap. So why single out soda?
