[{"role": "system", "content": "A soft drink (see terminology for other names) is a drink that typically contains carbonated water (although lemonade, among others, is usually not carbonated), a sweetener, and a natural or artificial flavoring. The sweetener may be sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, fruit juice, sugar substitutes (in the case of diet drinks), or some combination of these. Soft drinks may also contain caffeine, colorings, preservatives, and other ingredients. Soft drinks are called \"soft\" in contrast with \"hard\" alcoholic beverages. Small amounts of alcohol may be present in a soft drink, but the alcohol content must be less than 0.5% of the total volume if the drink is to be considered non-alcoholic. Fruit punch, tea, and other such non-alcoholic beverages are technically soft drinks by this definition but are not generally referred to as such. Soft drinks may be served chilled, over ice cubes or at room temperature. In rare cases, some soft drinks, such as Dr Pepper, Vernors and Pepsi can be served warm. Soft drinks are available in many formats, including cans, glass bottles, and plastic bottles (the latter in a variety of sizes ranging from small bottles to large 2-liter containers). Soft drinks are also widely available at fast food restaurants, movie theaters, convenience stores, casual dining restaurants, dedicated soda stores, and bars from soda fountain machines.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I am addicted to soft drinks, can't start my day without a cold coke"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Soft drinks sure are addicting, it comes down to the caffeine and habit forming properties that make them so hard to give up"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I think I am just as addicted to the carbonation it seems to clear my throat and sinuses"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Funny, the fact that soft drinks are called \"soft\" is because alcoholic beverages are called \"hard\".
