ATLANTA — In a new report on bottled water consumption, the industry newsletter Beverage Digest said in its latest issue that per-person consumption of bottled water has now outpaced that of beer and is second only to carbonated soft drinks in that category, according to an April 28 report in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.The report said per-capita consumption of bottled water in 2007 compared with 2006 was up 7.1 percent, to 22.5 gallons, with beer rising by 1.4 percent, to 22.2 gallons per person last year, the report said.
Soft drinks kept hold of the No. 1 spot, at 49.3 gallons per person in 2007, down 3.3 percent over 2006, according to the story. It said that per-person consumption of bottled water has doubled in the past 10 years.
