Perhaps you're not American, but Gallup reports that among those who drink soda in the USA the average daily amount is 31.2 oz

32 oz, if I'm converting correctly, is a little shy of 1 liter. If so, that isn't a big amount really, especially daily.

> among those who drink soda > average

Two factors in your statement that lead me to believe 32oz is still a boat load. What's median and 75th percentile? I imagine the distribution here is non linear across the soda drinking population.

Depends how it's measured.

16oz of store-bought soda is not the same as 16oz of restaurant soda, at least 30% of which would be ice.

I wouldn't trust Gallup to report with nuance.
