Teenagers drink a 'bath full' of sugary drinks a year, research finds Teenagers are drinking the equivalent of almost a bath full of sugary drinks every year, a charity has warned.
New figures from Cancer Research UK suggest those aged 11 to 18 each drink just over 234 cans of soft drink a year - or one bathtub full.
Those aged between four and 10 are having almost half as much. And even children under the age of three are consuming high levels of sugary drinks - equivalent to almost one third of a bath, the report shows.
In March, the Government announced it will introduce a tax on soft drinks with added sugar. The Daily Telegraph
