More and more people today are drinking sugar-based drinks. What are the reasons for this? What are the solutions to make people drink less?

In

this

present time,

people

drinking sugar-based

drinks

are becoming widespread.

This

is a serious issue because

this

would lead to health problems.

This

essay will consider the main causes of consuming sugar-based

drinks

, before proposing two possible solutions. Perhaps the most important cause of drinking sugar-based

drinks

is it is becoming more affordable ,especially to the masses. With few alternatives, many

people

choose to devour

this

kind of drink to quench their thirst aside from the less expensive drinking plain water.

As a result

,

people

are becoming obese and different health issues are appearing

such

as diabetes. Another key factor is the appealing taste of these

drinks

due to the added flavours. The majority of

people

are choosing

Change the determiner

to quench their thirst rather than the bland taste of water.

This

means that the needed amount of water for the human body is not achieved,

for instance

, athletes would rather drink "Energy

Drinks

" because they would feel revitalised and energized without realizing that they feel thirsty even more. Fortunately,

however

, there are two promising solutions to

this

problem.

First

of all, schools and the government could introduce an information campaign.

This

would educate the children in schools and the public about the harmful effects of drinking sugar-based

drinks

.

For example

, schools can include

such

information in their Science subjects.

Secondly

, the government can impose a value-added tax on these addictive

drinks

, which would increase the prices ,

therefore

, it would become difficult to buy for the public. In conclusion,

people

choosing to drink sugar-based

drinks

is a serious problem which is primarily caused by their affordable price, along with their appealing taste. I recommend that the government address

this

issue by

education

campaigns about its negative effects on health, and imposing of tax to reduce the proportion of the majority that can afford to buy these

drinks
