From here (PDF):

Mexico is the number one consumer of Coca-Cola in the world, with an average of 225 litres per person; a disproportionate number which has surpassed the inventors. The consumption in the USA is “only” 200 litres per person. This fizzy drink is considered an essential part of the Mexican people’s diet and can be found even where there is no drinking water.

Silly people are everywhere.

From here (PDF):

An eighth more consumption than the US and it's classed as an essential part of the national diet?

Yes but Mexican Coke is made with actual sugar cane, not high-fructose corn-syrup like American Coke.

While Mexican Coke is made with actual sugar cane, the issue is a bit more complicated. From here (PDF):

types of sugar listed vs. types of sugar detected

As shown in Table2, there were differences in the types of sugar listed on the label/nutrition facts as compared to the results from the laboratory assays. For example, for the Mexican CocaCola sample, the label lists only “sugar,” but no sucrose was detected by HPLC. Instead, the laboratory analysis detected a 52:48 ratio of free fructose-to-glucose. Vitamin water also tested positive for glucose (0.7g per 5.5g/100ml of total sugar) but the ingredient list only reports cane sugar and crystalline fructose as sweeteners.
