In my household sugary drinks were only allowed occasionally, otherwise the children just drank water. Now that they are grown up they continue to drink mostly water. It helps that we live in a small town in Norway that has very good water. If we had to drink water from some of the places I have visited in the US the story might have been different as the water tasted so bad. I suppose we would have bought bottled water.

- sundvor 8y agoAgreed Norwegian water was great. I recall when I grew up in Fredrikstad, Coca Cola was always the go-to drink #1 at parties etc. They did a stellar job inserting themselves. Fortunately those were the only occasions when we'd have it, and as kids we were far more active back then - roaming the streets and forests, so we had more than enough activity to offset. My son's grown up on water after the breast and has very little interest in soft drinks now, not that we encourage him to try them out.
