Your drink does not need to be entertainment.

  Sure, neither does your food. But you’re unlikely to convince anyone by moralizing about it, and you’ll probably just cause them to tune you out entirely. I say this as someone who drinks mostly plain water.

    I don't see any moralizing in what you're replying to. I see them challenging an assumption that is an extremely common one in American culture.

      > American culture People online seem to have such a fascination with finding every possible thing wrong with American culture. Then they generalize across 330 million people, and completely ignore that the rest of the world has equally incomprehensible or destructive habits. I guess we should be honored? Nobody bothers criticizing Europeans because Europe is largely irrelevant.

        Well that's an awful lot to take from my comment. Is this some sort of "hit dogs holler" thing? I'm American. I live in America. But I'm posting in a global forum, and I'm addressing something that's very specifically American. I wasn't even necessarily criticizing. Different places have different tastes. But the top soda brands are, Red Bull aside, all American in origin: https://www.zippia.com/advice/largest-soda-brands/ https://www.zippia.com/advice/largest-soda-brands/

  Tell that to drinkers of wine, beer, juice, and tea.
