And the booze and cigarette consumption, whew. ...
Having spent my high school years in Alabama where ketchup was considered a vegetable in the school lunches -- I'm not even making that up -- I can tell you that the thinking there is that soda is mostly water, so it counts as water, and if it's sweetened with Splenda instead of sugar, it's considered the healthy choice.

Booze: ditto -- mostly water.

Cigarettes: from tobacco leaves...it's a vegetable, too. Besides, they look so darn cool.
