New CDC report reveals how people in the U.S. stay hydrated

Water is the drink of choice for people in the U.S., according to new CDC data. An analysis of non-alcoholic beverage consumption between 2015-2018 reveals that 51.2% of consumption is water, followed, in order, by coffee, sweetened beverages, tea, fruit drinks, milk, and diet beverages. Men were less likely to consume water or tea compared with women, but were likelier to drink coffee, sweetened or fruit drinks. Water consumption decreased with increasing age, while drinking coffee, tea, and milk increased with age. Asian, Hispanic and Black individuals were more likely to consume water than white people.
