The only automatically served beverage I've ever seen is water and too often you have to ask for that now. At no time have I seen a child force fed soda or just given soda.
Also, I drank my fill and then some and it was not an excuse to act like a heathen and would not have been tolerated. I'd be wishing my ass was in a boot camp somewhere.
