A KFC "Mega Jug" was 64 U.S. fluid ounces (1893ml), which, if they're using the standard syrup dilution, is about 213g of sugar. Ignoring concerns about what else is in drinks like this, general guidance (e.g. the UK National Health Service, the Harvard School of Public Health) recommend well under 40g of free sugar per day as a maximum.
LOL have you ever been to the states? you can't go to the grocery store without seeing several obese people with at least 3-4 12 packs of soda. that's just for home. they inhale energy drinks at work/school
meanwhile, I don't even remember the last time i drank anything but water.
