English term or phrase: serving
According to the US National Soft Drink Association (NSDA), consumption of soft drinks is now over 600 12-fluid-ounce [355 mL] servings per person per year.
Apparently, soda consumption in the USA has tripled for boys and doubled for girls since 1978.

A serving size was defined as one bottle, can or glass of cola.

In fact, the CSPI has cited bigger serving sizes as a major reason for increased consumption. In the past 40 years, bottles and cans have ballooned from 61⁄2 fluid ounces (fl. oz.) [192 mL] to 12 fl. oz. [355 mL] and recently to 20 fl. oz [591 mL]. Interestingly, back in the
1950s, Coke's "family size" bottle was only 26 fl. oz. [0.769 L].

j'hésite sur la traduction de ce terme ici
portion ou part de soda me paraît un peu bizarre... dose peut-être ? merci !

portion


Explanation:
Qu'il s'agisse d'un aliment sain ou malsain, on dit portion; la portion est une quantité qui varie en fonction de l'aliment en question et qui doit être définie, en ml (ou autre unité) dans le cas présenté ici.

neutral  Johanne Benoit-Gallagher: La réponse est bonne, mais pas la justification. On ne parle pas d'alcool dans ce texte, mais de boissons gazeuses. Un raisonnement fautif pourrait engendrer une mauvaise traduction à l'avenir (pour répondre à ta question).
