The soda industry fizzled to a new low in 2015 as Americans drank less soda than the year before for the eleventh straight year, marking a new 30-year low. According to a new report from Beverage Digest, American drank 1.2 percent less soda, by volume, in 2015, outpacing the 0.9 percent decline from 2014.
