I usually call them by their brand name or type (root beer). Of course, that's how I refer to most things, not by a generic category.

As do I... in bottles/cans, they're Pepsi, Barq's, Nestea, etc... generally speaking, they're soft drinks or just drinks... fountain drinks are refered to as those... any ludicrous sized beverage container I refer to as a pail, after my ex-boss who used to joke about me dragging a 64oz fountain Pepsi into work every morning.
