It's 11:00 at night & my son has just told me he needs to know the amount of carbonated water in root beer (any brand) by school in the morning! Too late to go to the store now - could someone please look on a can in their pantry or fridge & tell us the answer! I know y'all will ALL have this info - sure do appreciate your help! THANKS!

I've not seen a breakdown by ingredient, but the ingredients are usually listed in order of quantity. I'd guess that a 12 oz. can contains about 10-11 oz. of carbonated water and 1-2 oz of flavoring, sweetener, etc.

Actually, I used the amount of sugar and salt that IS listed in grams, converted that to ounces and added a little extra for flavoring, etc.... I'll update my guess to 9 oz of carbonated water and 3 oz. of everything else in a common 12 oz. can of root beer.
