3) Soda is available everywhere and is the de-facto drink with most meals.

I don't remember the last meal I ate with adults where people ordered soda. It may be that every once in a while I'll be around a recovering alcoholic who orders a soda, but usually it seems they order something like sparkling water.

It's probably a regional/class thing, since I live in NYC. Maybe in the middle of the country or in a working class household you'd be more likely to see people drinking soft drinks with a meal?

It is definitely a class thing. You must be hanging out with the upper class, my friend.

Haha, working musicians are hardly upper class. Intelligentsia, maybe.

Maybe you just eat with a bunch of alcoholics?
