What is the difference between soda and soft drink ?Feel free to just provide example sentences.
When I traveled to New York (a long ago!), I realized people there called well-known canned or bottled drink (like coca cora or ginger ale) "soda." In Japan, we often call those "soft drink." Do you say those soft drink in the US? And what difference is there between them? I suppose soft drink is used to distinguish them from alcohol in the US as well as in Japan. Is that right? And tell me if you say another name for that.

@Escarpe Soft drink and soda mean the same thing. Nobody calls them soft drinks in everyday speech though, we just call them soda. You would only see "soft drink" used in a news report or something like that.
