The most unrealistic part of Star Trek Deep Space Nine is the idea that root beer is exceedingly popular. Root beer is gross and a hyper-advanced humanity isn't going to embarrass themselves by drinking that in front of the aliens
I think the only person on DS9 who actually enjoys root beer is Jake Sisko, and Nog and Quark just think it's a popular human drink because of him. Most of the other humans on the station have probably never even tried it.

"Average human drinks root beer all the time" factoid actually just statistical error. Average human drinks 0 root beer per year. Root Beers Georg, who lives in the Jefferies Tubes & drinks over 10,000 root beers each day, is an outlier and should not have been counted
root beer is so good SHUT UP
The only unrealistic thing about everyone drinking root beer is that somehow no one burped
