They were original called this because they were carbonated drinks formed from concentrates. The name was due to the fact that a "drink" meant some type of alcoholic beverage. So "soft drink" refered to a carbonated drink with no alcohol which we now called soda, etc.

because there is no liquor or alcohol in it. if it did have alcohol in it it would be HARD like Mike's HARD Lemonade (it has alcohol in it) but then Coke is a SOFT drink because, as far as i know, there is no alcohol in it :)

Maybe because it doesn't have alcohol, so it's "soft" on your liver...okay I totally just made that up. Sorry!

A hard drink or a stiff drink means it has alcohol in it.

That is a good question. I never really thought about it before. Maybe it is because it does not have any alcohol in it?? Who knows! :)
