a long time ago, I sat in on a lecture from a nutritionist and some of the stuff he said really stuck with me.
One of those things was that he was very opposed to things like juice, it’s high in sugar and most of the “good stuff” from the fruit had been stripped away, making it tasty but ultimately not a very nutritious option. his advice was: if you want apple juice, instead, just eat an apple and drink water. Rinse and repeat for whatever beverage.
Personally, I quit coca-cola, it was a slow process, but it was for the best. Now I drink plenty of water and I just have to work on my diet a little and I should be fairly well-off in terms of nutritional health. Yes, flavor is nice sometimes, but ultimately, you’re doing yourself a disservice. Even “calorie free” water flavorings have drawbacks, the chemicals used to artificially sweeten things have their fair share of problems; at the very least they a lot of controversial information about how “safe” they really are, and what effects they impose on your health.
Drink water, eat fruit, eat veggies. These are things that people of almost every walk of life do not do enough of… unless you’re a vegan… I suppose. (I’m not)

There are options other than water, juice and soda. Tea, for example. It doesn’t require anything to sweeten it if you don’t want to do so and it tastes good.

Well looking at how much the price of all staples in the grocery store has gone up in the last decade, I would say it is neither now.
Junk is still cheap though…
