What is a Sugary Drink?
Sugary drinks are beverages that contain added sugars or sweeteners. Sugary drinks include soda and other carbonated soft drinks, sports drinks, energy drinks, fruit-flavored or powdered drinks, vitamin-enhanced drinks, and sweetened tea and coffee drinks. Chocolate milk and some milk alternatives also contain added sugar. The additional sugar in these drinks adds calories, but little or no nutrients.
