Coca-Cola Consumption Per Capita…
An average person in the United States consumes 3296 ounces of Coke annually. This amounts to 39964 calories per year or the equivalent of 20 days of recommended caloric intake in Coke alone.
……
These numbers are for ALL Coca-Cola Company beverages, not just the soda drink.
You see, the kids today, they drink the Arizona Ice Tea, which gives them the brain damage. With their hippin’, and the hoppin’, and the bippin’, and the boppin’, so they don’t know what the jazz… is all about!
Also, you are correct. This is for all Coke brand drinks (though I’d be interested in the numbers if you combined Coke AND Pepsi AND Dr. Pepper).

Something they appear to have missed: our consumption has only increased by 4 in ten years, placing us below everyone else mentioned here except Canada for growth. The lower graph even shows that consumption has been going down over the past few years, while bottled water has risen to overtake everything else except soda.
