I'd say the biggest culprit here is soda, but other American staples include Iced Tea, Lemonade, Beer and Wine. How does this compare to other diets though? Do say, the British only consume 1/10 of their calories liquid?

Considering what the British eat, you could probably assume that 1/10 of their calories attributed to bile.
