NEW data from Roy Morgan Research shows the people under 25 are drinking more soft drinks than ever before.
According to the statistics, the consumption of soft drink has increased year on year among Australians aged 25 and under.
Last year, 56 per cent of Australians aged 14-24 drank at least one soft drink in an average seven-day period, up from 53 per cent in 2013.
In contrast, 25 to 34 year olds showed the most marked decreases in soft drink consumption. In 2013, 56 per cent of people aged 25 to 34 drank at least one soft drink in any given seven days, but last year this figure fell to 53 per cent.
