Americans should drink ________ instead of sugary drinks?
water
I would say water yes, but also any sugar-free drinks would do. ex: Sugar free Smoothies The Sugar-free smoothie could contain fruits, milk (calcium), and even vegetables. Some Americans do not really think about what they are going to put into themselves before devouring McDonalds or a soda. Watch someone boil soda. All that is SUGAR.
I think that green tea would also be a good option as it is rich in a number of antioxidant compounds that have the potential to be very beneficial. However, probably not a good choice for caffeine sensitive people (although, a number of recent studies link caffeine consumption to lower incidences of dementia and alzheimers). Also, water is clearly always an excellent choice.
