People are having more and more sugar-based drinks. What are the reasons?

What are the solutions to


make people drink less.

Recently, attached to the massive progress of beverage industry is an undeniably detrimental fact that
we have registered a sharp increase in the number of people addicted to processed-sugar drinks. There
are a multitude of causes for this phenomenon some of which will be clarified in this essay with concrete
possible measures to somehow dilute this kind of addiction.

In terms of causes, initially, the effects of sugary drinks have been misunderstood by loads of people.
There is a wide perception that the sweet flavor in soft drinks can dramatically ease your thirst.
Unfortunately, they usually trigger adverse impacts, for example dehydrating your bodies. To be more
specific, when you have just finished doing some workouts, it seems much more pleasurable to have a
cold coke instead of a bottle of water. Nevertheless, one coke will never be enough because it is other
ingredients included that dehydrates you. What is more, sugar-based drinks are proved to be addictive
by myriads of experiments. Studies have it that sugar activates reward system in our brain and releases
dopamine, which eventually results in craves and binge for sweet flavor.

When it comes to measures needed taking to lessen the incredible amount of sugary beverages
consumed, I firmly assume that fundamentally each individual should have basic insight about the
downsides of those drinks and its catastrophic impacts on our health if a large amount is consumed.
Besides, authorities should also be responsible for the content in sugary drinks advertisements that
leads to inhabitants’ misunderstanding, usually overestimation, about those kinds of drinks.

To encapsulate, the irresistibly appalling taste and misunderstanding about the effects of sugary
beverages have surged the number of people consuming those. However, from my perspective, if
individuals and authorities together take countability, this issue will ultimately be controlled.

Sugary drinks are being consumed gradually these days and ages which likely leads to some
metabolism diseases. This essay will illustrate the underlying reasons as well as some optimal
solutions for cutting down sugar-based drinks consumption.
Some main elements could engender to overused sugary drinks. Firstly, in this state-of-art society,
the human is attacked from all of the direction by conglomerates’ advertising and marketing
campaigns. For example, Tan Hiep Phat group manifested a plethora of advertisements and these are
prevalent in almost TV shows and programs, newspaper and even videos on Youtube which catch
viewers’ attention and has changed customers’ form of buying habits. Secondly, the majority of
people dismiss the vital of natural-based drinks and overestimate the processed drinks as a result of
misleading from online health articles, news, and magazines. This has conceptualized the
predominance of sugar-based beverages over those from nature. Thirdly, it is so convenient that it
could be bought easily almost in every corner of the world and adolescent generation has been
considering these things as the latest trendy.
Despite the reasons are mentioned above, some significant solutions could be pointed out for
mitigating the consumption of these kinds of drinks. Firstly, governments should impose excessive
taxation on beverage manufacturing enterprises. With the pressure of high taxation, it is likely to halt
the continual mounting of sugar-based intake. Otherwise, it is vital that natural-based drinks should
be known and advertised pervasively by official social media and network. Furthermore, it is
imperative to educate the juvenile consciousness of consuming those products not just only in
education systems but parental education.
In conclusion, the consumers of the sugary beverage could be diminished considerably thoroughly if
those resolutions work congenially.
