I did not know that Limey.

In the '70s and 80s we used to call water 'corporation pop'.

"Ginger" is fizzy drink (non-specific); Ginger Ale and Ginger Beer are just that ...

No - it may be dying out. "Juice" is another one, also meaning any non-alcoholic cold beverage. I had a couple of guys round to fit loft insulation and when I offered them mugs of tea, they say "Naw, hen, we've got wur cans o'jus in the van".

Are you assuming their "juice" is non-alcoholic?
