Consumption Sugary Drinks

A recent study showed that nearly half (50%) of Americans aged 20-plus drank sugary beverages each day. Adults consumed an average of 145 calories per day from sugary drinks, which constituted 6.5% of their daily energy intake. Young adults had the highest intake of sugary drinks, while non-Hispanic Asians consumed the lowest amount. The causes of increased sugary drink intake are not known, but the American Beverage Association (ABA), has a variety of programs to encourage healthy calorie intake.

Water consumption

Despite recent conservation efforts in the U.S., water consumption is still high at 355 million gallons per hour. Utilities are faced with competing demands, including aging infrastructure, higher per capita water usage, and less predictable revenue from less water use. The rising water cost results in higher water bills. This often hits low-income households hardest. Utilities are exploring different options to meet water requirements in order to keep up with rising water costs.

Italian soda

Italian sodas can be made with carbonated water or syrup and sometimes even fruit. Italian sodas generally do not contain caffeine. Some are however made with coffee sugar. The size of the glass as well as the desired sweetness level will determine the ratio of syrup to water. A 16-ounce drink will require two to four pumpings. A taller glass will need half as much syrup or other additives. A straw is used to allow the drinker stir the Italian soda before they are sipped.

A martini is made from gin (or vodka), vermouth, and ice. Before serving, the ingredients should be thoroughly mixed. The chilled glass is preferred. You should serve a proper martini straight up without adding anything. Mixing it with anything else will ruin its taste.

Two olives are the most common way to serve martinis. If you want to give your drink an extra flavor, you can add some olive brine to its rim.

Start making a martini. Pour 2 ounces dried vermouth into an ice-filled shaker. 1 ounce vodka. Combine all ingredients in a shaker until smooth. Pour into a chilled martini glass and garnish with an olive.
