"US Soda Consumption at Its Lowest Level in 30 Years"

"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."
