Soft Drink Consumption - Southern Cross Health And Wellness Survey
When asked about soft drink consumption, a Southern Cross Health Society survey of over 2000 New Zealanders found that:
•
The average consumption of soft drink in New Zealand is two
servings per week
• Males drink more soft drink
than females
• The largest consumers per week
are those New Zealanders aged under 40 years and those with
a household income of $70,000-$100,000

About the survey:
An
online survey amongst 2,006 randomly selected New Zealanders
was conducted by TNS on behalf of Southern Cross in
September 2012
Responses were weighted to be
representative of the New Zealand over 15 population by age,
gender and region
Due to rounding in the survey
data, some of the columns in the table supplied add up to
either 99% or 101%, rather than
100%.
