The term soft drink originally applied to carbonated drinks and non-carbonated drinks made from concentrates, although it now commonly refers to almost any cold drink that does not contain alcohol. Beverages like colas, sparkling water, lemonade, and fruit punch are among the most common types of soft drinks, while hot chocolate, tea, coffee, milk and milkshakes do not fall into this classification.

You got the right of it. Liquor (or any drink with alcohol) is called a "hard drink," while anything without alcohol is termed a "soft drink" (because of its lack of alcohol).

I think soft drink is a "non-alcoholic" drink but somehow got associated with pop. Maybe cuz hard drinks are pop mixed with hard liquer (rye, whiskey, gin... )
Soda is fizzy, carbonated water. I guess coke, sprite etc is also called soda cuz its just flavoured fizzy water.

Right. Also, Kool-Aid is a soft drink. It says so on the packet.
