A recent study is showing that more people are drinking soda with breakfast!
Breakfast consumers order a soft drink with their breakfast 15.1 percent of the time, compared with 7.9 percent of the time in 1990, said Harry Balzer, an NPD executive vice president who has studied U.S. eating habits for more than 25 years. At the same time, Balzer said, coffee was being ordered 38 percent of the time, compared with 48.7 percent 15 years ago.
The statistics are specific to drinks with meals and do not, for example, address the Starbucks phenomenon.
I personally don't drink much soda, and can't possibly fathom it before noon. If I'm eating breakfast I like to have a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice.

So, what do you drink with breakfast?

I drink tea in the morning. Usually black teas.
1I drink organic coffee with soy milk, organic orange juice, and spring water.
I usually have water as soon as I wake up, and then again after eating breakfast.
2I like coffee. I've been in this bad habit of stopping at Starbucks on my way to work each morning. Gotta stop that, those lattes get pricey!
Sometimes (especially in the summer), I will drink pop in the morning, just b/c it's cool and refreshing. Usually diet dr. pepper.
3I always have tea or water with my breakfast. I can't imagine having a soda with my cereal!
4I always start with some purified water to rehydrate myself, and then possibly a coffee if I'm still feeling a little tired. I honestly don't feel right unless I've had at least two glasses of water before I'm out the door!
5milk or water usually...if anything
6i drink iced coffee because i need some sort of caffeine in the morning, and I'm always too thirsty for something hot.
78 oz of water followed by 8 oz of juice followed by a TON of coffee, mixed with low fat chocolate milk (i like to be extremely liquid-filled in the morning)!
8I usually drink orange juice or Oboy (kinda like chocolate milk)..

Irish Breakfast Tea. With a touch of sugar.
10I have a smoothie for breakfast.Otherwise a glass of water or soya milk.
11At least one cup of coffee, for sure, and if I'm sitting down to a meal, then a glass of non fat milk to quench my thirst.
12I usually drink coffee or tea in the mornings. Especially living in Illinois, it is cold in the winter so I need to get warm on the inside before I go outside.

orange juice! ^____________________^ with high pulp!
14orange juice med. pulp, chocolate silk light and v8.
15Unfortch, I am addicted to Diet Coke. Sadly, I can't wait to have my first one of the morning.
Preppy to the max!
16ew... soda in the morning? i didn't even know that was possible!
Actually, maybe it's because i don't drink soda at all, but still, it's just too gross anytime before lunch! I usually drink either water, milk, tea or juice in the morning!
17Recently I usually drink a V8 splash or lemonade with breakfast. About 5 months ago, I decided to stop drinking sodas and caffeine. I would drink a diet pepsi in the morning, but I think it mostly had to do with my addiction to that small amount of caffeine it has in it. When I started drinking 4 or 5 diet pepsi's or diet coke's a day, I decided it was time to stop doing that!

You bad doggie!
yumm hazlenut coffee!! or water
19Decaf English Breakfast -- a habit I picked up years ago when I studied abroad in England. =)
20Usually water if I work out before classes start- then coffee afterwards. I legitimately love the taste of coffee- I don't drink it for the jolt. My workout gives me that. Otherwise I usually start the day with coffee because I can't eat solid food in the morning without being nauseated.
21I confess...Diet Coke in the morning and the 5 or so afterwards are horrible for me...and I should not be as addicted to them as I should...but I don't like to wait for coffee and juice doesn't do anything for me in the morning!
Preppy to the max!
22I usually drink grapefruit, orange/tangerine, or pineapple juice. I drink all fresh squeezed except for the pineapple of course
I'm all in.
23I find the soft drink stats kind of shocking! I can't imagine that sugary film feeling on your teeth so early in the morning.
24I drink herbal tea nearly every morning.
25Random I am
26I'm drinking orange juice right now!
I dont really eat breakfast but I drink either tea or milk in the morning. But mostly tea to warm me up
27Soda in the morning is so ridiculous. What is the world coming to!!? I usually drink a big glass of milk (but then again I am a milkaholic) and a smaller glass of orange juice to pack in those vitamins earlier in the day! Sometimes, but rarely, I have a double shot of espresso or coffee.
28I hate orange juice.
29Most of the people I know that drink soda in the mornings do it out of convenience. It's easy to grab, there are vending machines all over the place, and it gives you that jolt of sugary caffeine with portability. I don't think a lot of people who sit down and have breakfast are the soda drinkers -- it's impossible for me to imagine someone who has a kitchenful of options deciding to settle for something so ill-suited to waking up!
30I'm a coffee drinker, But if I'm having eggs I drink Chocolate milk. Don't ask why, I know it's gross.
**~~Everyone who's anyone has been on sesame street.~~**
31I like Cranberry Juice....I usually have cranberry juice and Coffee!! I also have green tea later on in the day
32Tomato Juice.... LOTS of lemon! YUM!
33I drink one Coke in the morning- I grew up in the South and it's very common there. I need caffeine (NOT a morning person) but coffee upsets my stomach.
Then I drink water for the rest of the day and night unless I go out to eat or something- when I'll have a glass of white wine or two with lots of water.

3432 ounces of water and then I can have a Diet Coke on my way to work. I drink a ton of water everyday so I don't feel bad about having my Diet Coke.
35Water, water and more water. It seems like all I drink some days! Sometimes I drink Earl Gray, English Breakfast with breakfast but love to mix it up when I get the urge for tea.
Green, White Pomegranate, herbals, you name, I'll drink it.
36Most of the time, I have orange juice with my coffee/tea/cappuccino.
But sometimes, I have other juices...
As for soda for breakfast, it seems UNBELIEVABLE to me! Maybe that's because I'm French - I don't think it's in French people's habits to drink soda early in the morning...
37Two cups of Barry's Irish Breakfast Tea with three sugar cubes and some organic milk in a big mug. It's absolutely crucial.
38plain water
