I think there has been so much information that shows its harmful, but I wonder if the increased use of GLP-1 medications will actually increase the consumption of these drinks.

When drinks are iced, or hot -- the temperature extremes can make it harder to assess how much sugar is in them. Like when you taste melted ice cream, it's sickly-sweet -- but you don't notice that when you're eating the frozen stuff.

I am going to say that - in general - sugar is bad for you. Processed foods have a lot of sugar so when you think you are eating a salad with dressing (potato, coleslaw etc.) from the supermarket deli think again. It's all packed with sugar and preservatives.
