A soft drink is a drink that does not contain alcohol as opposed to hard drinks that do. In general, the term is used only for cold beverages. Hot chocolate, tea, and coffee are not considered soft drinks. The term originally referred exclusively to carbonated drinks, and is still commonly used in this manner.

A soft drink is without alcohol. A hard drink is with alcohol. Just a way to distinguish them.

The term has to do with the composition of water. The carbonation added to the drink if added to just water would make what is referred to as soft water, therefore when making a drink you have soft drink.

A soft drink is any beverage not containing alcohol, or in the case of fruit drinks, unfermented for example, soft cider.

Probably because they say alcohol is HARD drinking, and it is the opposite of alcohol!

As opposed to 'hard liquor' perhaps? Just a guess!
