Accounting Policies [Abstract]
General	General References in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to " DPS " or "the Company " refer to Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc. and all entities included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements . This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q refers to some of DPS ' owned or licensed trademarks, trade names and service marks, which are referred to as the Company 's brands. All of the product names included herein are either DPS ' registered trademarks or those of the Company 's licensors. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (" U.S. GAAP ") for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements . In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting principally of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company 's audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in the Company 's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 . PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION DPS consolidates all wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company uses the equity method to account for investments in companies if the investment provides the Company with the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of the investee. Consolidated net income includes DPS' proportionate share of the net income or loss of these companies. Judgment regarding the level of influence over each equity method investment includes considering key factors such as ownership interest, representation on the board of directors, participation in policy-making decisions and material intercompany transactions. The Company is also required to consolidate entities that are variable interest entities (“ VIE s”) of which DPS is the primary beneficiary. Judgments are made in assessing whether the Company is the primary beneficiary, including determination of the activities that most significantly impact the VIE ’s economic performance. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company provided 100% financing to a VIE as part of a short term leasing structure for which DPS is the primary beneficiary. As a result, DPS has consolidated that entity. The Company ’s financing of the VIE , which totaled $21 million as of December 31, 2014, included a transfer of cash and assignment of the rights to deposits previously made with a manufacturer in prior years. The Company 's financing of the VIE , which eliminates in consolidation, was used by the VIE to purchase certain property, plant and equipment. During the quarter ended June 30, 2015, the leasing arrangement with the VIE was terminated through the Company assuming ownership of the property, plant and equipment purchased by the VIE as repayment of the Company 's financing of the VIE . No gain or loss was recorded as a result of the termination. The Company eliminates from its financial results all intercompany transactions between entities included in the consolidated financial statements and the intercompany transactions with its equity method investees. USE OF ESTIMATES The process of preparing DPS ' unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. These estimates and judgments are based on historical experience, future expectations and other factors and assumptions the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and judgments are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are revised when necessary. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period of change. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates: • goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets; • revenue recognition; • pension and postretirement benefits; • multi-employer pension plan withdrawal liability; • risk management programs; and • income taxes. These critical accounting estimates are discussed in greater detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 . RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (" FASB ") issued Accounting Standards Update (" ASU ") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (" ASU 2014-09 "). The new guidance sets forth a new five-step revenue recognition model which replaces the prior revenue recognition guidance in its entirety and is intended to eliminate numerous industry-specific pieces of revenue recognition guidance that have historically existed in U.S. GAAP . The underlying principle of the new standard is that a business or other organization will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects what it expects in exchange for the goods or services. The standard also requires more detailed disclosures and provides additional guidance for transactions that were not addressed completely in the prior accounting guidance. ASU 2014-09 provides alternative methods of initial adoption. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 , Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date , which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year to December 15, 2017 for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after that date and permitted early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that these standards will have on the consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (" ASU 2015-03 "), in order to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. The ASU requires debt issuance costs to be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than an asset. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15 , Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements - Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcement at June 18, 2015 EITF Meeting (SEC Update) (" ASU 2015-15 "), which clarifies that companies may continue to present unamortized debt issuance costs associated with line of credit arrangements as an asset. ASU 2015-03 and ASU 2015-15 are effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The guidance also requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented. The Company will early adopt these standards as of December 31, 2015, and does not anticipate a significant impact to the Company 's financial position as a result of this change. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory ("ASU 2015-11"). This ASU requires inventories measured under any methods other than last-in, first-out (" LIFO ") or the retail inventory method to be subsequently measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value, rather than at the lower of cost or market. Subsequent measurement of inventory using LIFO or the retail inventory method is unchanged by this ASU. ASU 2015-11 is effective for public companies for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on the consolidated financial statements and does not anticipate a significant impact to the Company 's financial position as a result of this change. .

Inventories	Inventories Inventories consisted of the following: September 30, December 31, (in millions) 2015 2014 Raw materials $ 78 $ 92 Spare parts 18 18 Work in process 5 5 Finished goods 136 126 Inventories at first in first out cost 237 241 Reduction to LIFO cost (36 ) (37 ) Inventories $ 201 $ 204 Approximately $154 million and $151 million of the Company 's inventory was accounted for under the LIFO method of accounting as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , respectively. The reduction to LIFO cost reflects the excess of the current cost of LIFO inventories as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , over the amount at which these inventories were valued on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , a LIFO inventory liquidation increased the Company's gross profit by $1 million . For the three months ended September 30, 2015 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 , there was no LIFO inventory liquidation.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivatives	Derivatives DPS is exposed to market risks arising from adverse changes in: • interest rates; • foreign exchange rates; and • commodity prices affecting the cost of raw materials and fuels, which are recorded in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative (" SG&A ") expenses, respectively. The Company manages these risks through a variety of strategies, including the use of interest rate contracts, foreign exchange forward contracts, commodity forward and future contracts and supplier pricing agreements. DPS does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company formally designates and accounts for certain interest rate contracts and foreign exchange forward contracts that meet established accounting criteria under U.S. GAAP as either fair value or cash flow hedges. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instruments is recorded, net of applicable taxes, in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss (" AOCL "), a component of Stockholders' Equity in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. When net income is affected by the variability of the underlying transaction, the applicable offsetting amount of the gain or loss from the derivative instrument deferred in AOCL is reclassified to net income and is reported as a component of the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges, the effective change in the fair value of the instrument, as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk, are recognized immediately in current-period earnings. For derivatives that are not designated or are de-designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss on the instrument is recognized in earnings in the period of change. Certain interest rate contracts qualify for the "shortcut" method of accounting for hedges under U.S. GAAP . Under the shortcut method, the hedges are assumed to be perfectly effective and no ineffectiveness is recorded in earnings. For all other designated hedges, t he Company assesses whether the derivative instrument is effective in offsetting the changes in fair value or variability of cash flows at the inception of the derivative contract. DPS measures hedge ineffectiveness on a quarterly basis throughout the designated period. Changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument that do not effectively offset changes in the fair value of the underlying hedged item throughout the designated hedge period are recorded in earnings each period. If a fair value or cash flow hedge were to cease to qualify for hedge accounting, or were terminated, the derivatives would continue to be carried on the balance sheet at fair value until settled and hedge accounting would be discontinued prospectively. If the underlying hedged transaction ceases to exist, any associated amounts reported in AOCL would be reclassified to earnings at that time. INTEREST RATES Cash Flow Hedges In order to hedge the variability in cash flows from interest rate changes associated with the Company's planned issuances of long-term debt, the Company has entered into the following forward starting swap agreements: ($ in millions) Future 30 year debt issuance Future 10 year debt issuance Number of Number of Period Entered instruments Notional value instruments Notional value Fourth quarter 2014 1 $ 125 — $ — First quarter 2015 3 100 — — Third quarter 2015 1 25 4 175 Total 5 $ 250 4 $ 175 The effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative that is designated as a cash flow hedge is being recorded in AOCL and will be subsequently reclassified into earnings during the period in which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Ineffectiveness, if any, related to the Company's changes in estimates about the debt issuance related to the forward starting swap would be recognized directly in earnings as a component of interest expense during the period incurred. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , the Company realized no ineffectiveness as a result of these hedging relationships. The forward starting swaps are expected to be unwound at the planned issuance of the debt. Fair Value Hedges The Company is exposed to the risk of changes in the fair value of certain fixed-rate debt attributable to changes in interest rates and manages these risks through the use of receive-fixed, pay-variable interest rate swaps. Any ineffectiveness is recorded as interest during the period incurred. The following table presents information regarding these interest rate swaps and the associated hedging relationships: ($ in millions) Impact to the carrying value Method of of long-term debt Hedging Number of measuring Notional September 30, December 31, Period entered relationship instruments effectiveness value 2015 2014 November 2011 2019 Notes 2 Short cut method $ 100 $ 2 — November 2011 2021 Notes 2 Short cut method 150 4 (1 ) November 2012 2020 Notes 5 Short cut method 120 (1 ) (4 ) December 2013 2022 Notes 4 Cumulative dollar offset (1) 250 21 16 February 2015 2038 Notes (2) 1 Regression 100 25 23 $ 51 $ 34 ____________________________ (1) The assessment of hedge effectiveness is made by comparing the cumulative change in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate with the cumulative changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap. (2) In December 2010, the Company entered into an interest rate swap having a notional amount of $100 million and maturing in May 2038 in order to effectively convert a portion of the 2038 Notes from fixed-rate debt to floating-rate debt and designated it as a fair value hedge. The assessment of hedge effectiveness is made by comparing the cumulative change in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate with the cumulative changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap, with any ineffectiveness recorded in earnings as interest expense during the period incurred. In February 2015, the swap agreement was modified and transferred to another counterparty through a novation transaction. As a result, the Company de-designated the original hedging relationship. Under the original hedging relationship, the $25 million recorded as an increase to debt due to the changes in fair market value of the debt will be amortized into earnings over the remaining term of the 2038 Notes. In February 2015, the Company then designated the new interest rate swap contract as a fair value hedge with a notional amount of $100 million and maturing in May 2038 in order to effectively convert a portion of the 2038 Notes from fixed-rate debt to floating-rate debt. The Company uses regression analysis to assess the prospective and retrospective effectiveness of this hedge relationship. FOREIGN EXCHANGE Cash Flow Hedges The Company 's Canadian business purchases its inventory through transactions denominated and settled in United States (" U.S. ") dollars, a currency different from the functional currency of the Canadian business. These inventory purchases are subject to exposure from movements in exchange rates. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , the Company utilized foreign exchange forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges to manage the exposures resulting from changes in these foreign currency exchange rates. The intent of these foreign exchange contracts is to provide predictability in the Company 's overall cost structure. These foreign exchange contracts, carried at fair value, have maturities between one and three months as of September 30, 2015 . The Company had outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts with notional amounts of $6 million and $10 million as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , respectively. COMMODITIES Economic Hedges DPS centrally manages the exposure to volatility in the prices of certain commodities used in its production process and transportation through forward and future contracts. The intent of these contracts is to provide a certain level of predictability in the Company 's overall cost structure. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , the Company held forward and future contracts that economically hedged certain of its risks. In these cases, a natural hedging relationship exists in which changes in the fair value of the instruments act as an economic offset to changes in the fair value of the underlying items. Changes in the fair value of these instruments are recorded in net income throughout the term of the derivative instrument and are reported in the same line item of the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as the hedged transaction. Unrealized gains and losses are recognized as a component of unallocated corporate costs until the Company 's operating segments are affected by the completion of the underlying transaction, at which time the gain or loss is reflected as a component of the respective segment's operating profit (" SOP "). The total notional values of derivatives related to economic hedges of this type were $174 million and $160 million as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , respectively. FAIR VALUE OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS The following table summarizes the location of the fair value of the Company 's derivative instruments within the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets: (in millions) Balance Sheet Location September 30, December 31, Assets: Derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments under U.S. GAAP: Interest rate contracts Prepaid expenses and other current assets $ 9 $ 11 Foreign exchange forward contracts Prepaid expenses and other current assets 1 — Interest rate contracts Other non-current assets 45 29 Total assets $ 55 $ 40 Liabilities: Derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments under U.S. GAAP: Interest rate contracts Other current liabilities $ 12 $ — Interest rate contracts Other non-current liabilities 1 9 Derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments under U.S. GAAP: Commodity contracts Other current liabilities 25 18 Commodity contracts Other non-current liabilities 6 8 Total liabilities $ 44 $ 35 IMPACT OF CASH FLOW HEDGES The following table presents the impact of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedging instruments under U.S. GAAP to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income: Amount of (Loss) Recognized in Amount of Gain (Loss) Reclassified from AOCL into Income Location of Gain (Loss) Reclassified from AOCL into Income (in millions) Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) ("OCI") For the three months ended September 30, 2015: Interest rate contracts $ (24 ) $ (2 ) Interest expense Foreign exchange forward contracts — 1 Cost of sales Total $ (24 ) $ (1 ) For the nine months ended September 30, 2015: Interest rate contracts $ (9 ) $ (6 ) Interest expense Foreign exchange forward contracts — 1 Cost of sales Total $ (9 ) $ (5 ) For the three months ended September 30, 2014: Interest rate contracts $ — $ (2 ) Interest expense Foreign exchange forward contracts — — Cost of sales Total $ — $ (2 ) For the nine months ended September 30, 2014: Interest rate contracts $ — $ (6 ) Interest expense Foreign exchange forward contracts (1 ) 1 Cost of sales Total $ (1 ) $ (5 ) There was no hedge ineffectiveness recognized in earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 with respect to derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges. During the next 12 months, the Company expects to reclassify pre-tax net losses of $8 million from AOCL into net income. IMPACT OF FAIR VALUE HEDGES The following table presents the impact of derivative instruments designated as fair value hedging instruments under U.S. GAAP to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income: Amount of Gain Location of Gain (in millions) Recognized in Income Recognized in Income For the three months ended September 30, 2015: Interest rate contracts (1) $ 4 Interest expense Total $ 4 For the nine months ended September 30, 2015: Interest rate contracts (1) $ 13 Interest expense Total $ 13 For the three months ended September 30, 2014: Interest rate contracts $ 4 Interest expense Total $ 4 For the nine months ended September 30, 2014: Interest rate contracts $ 12 Interest expense Total $ 12 ____________________________ (1) Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 includes amortization of the forward starting swap associated with the 2038 Notes, which was de-designated in February 2015, and basis adjustments related to the 2038 and 2022 Notes. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , no hedge ineffectiveness was recognized in earnings with respect to derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges. There was no hedge ineffectiveness recognized in earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2014 . For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 , a $1 million benefit due to hedge ineffectiveness was recognized in earnings with respect to derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges.

Refer to Note 11 for additional information on the valuation of derivative instruments. The Company has exposure to credit losses from derivative instruments in an asset position in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to the agreements. Historically, DPS has not experienced credit losses as a result of counterparty nonperformance. The Company selects and periodically reviews counterparties based on credit ratings, limits its exposure to a single counterparty under defined guidelines and monitors the market position of the programs upon execution of a hedging transaction and at least on a quarterly basis.

Fair Value

Fair Value [Abstract]
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair Value Under U.S. GAAP , fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP provides a framework for measuring fair value and establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. The three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements is as follows: Level 1 - Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 - Observable inputs such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. Level 3 - Valuations with one or more unobservable significant inputs that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions. RECURRING FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The following table presents the fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis: Fair Value Measurements at September 30, 2015 Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets Significant Other Observable Inputs Significant Unobservable Inputs (in millions) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Interest rate contracts $ — $ 54 $ — Foreign exchange forward contracts — 1 — Marketable securities - trading 24 — — Total assets $ 24 $ 55 $ — Commodity contracts $ — $ 31 $ — Interest rate contracts — 13 — Total liabilities $ — $ 44 $ — Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2014 Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets Significant Other Observable Inputs Significant Unobservable Inputs (in millions) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Interest rate contracts $ — $ 40 $ — Marketable securities - trading 25 — — Total assets $ 25 $ 40 $ — Commodity contracts $ — $ 26 $ — Interest rate contracts — 9 — Total liabilities $ — $ 35 $ — The fair values of marketable securities are determined using quoted market prices from daily exchange traded markets based on the closing price as of the balance sheet date and are classified as Level 1. The fair values of commodity forward and future contracts, interest rate swap contracts and foreign currency forward contracts are determined based on inputs that are readily available in public markets or can be derived from information available in publicly quoted markets. The fair value of commodity forward and future contracts are valued using the market approach based on observable market transactions, primarily underlying commodities futures or physical index prices, at the balance sheet date. Interest rate swap contracts are valued using models based primarily on readily observable market parameters, such as London Interbank Offered Rate forward rates, for all substantial terms of the Company 's contracts and credit risk of the counterparties. The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts are valued using quoted forward foreign exchange prices at the reporting date. Therefore, the Company has categorized these contracts as Level 2. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , the Company did not have any assets or liabilities measured on a recurring basis without observable market values that would require a high level of judgment to determine fair value (Level 3). There were no transfers of financial instruments between the three levels of fair value hierarchy during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 . ESTIMATED FAIR VALUE OF LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS The estimated fair values of long-term obligations are as follows: September 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 (in millions) Carrying Amount Fair Value Carrying Amount Fair Value Long-term debt – 2016 Notes $ 500 $ 503 $ 500 $ 510 Long-term debt – 2018 Notes 724 814 724 835 Long-term debt – 2019 Notes (1) 252 254 250 253 Long-term debt – 2020 Notes (1) 248 245 245 244 Long-term debt – 2021 Notes (1) 254 256 249 255 Long-term debt – 2022 Notes (1) 270 243 265 244 Long-term debt – 2038 Notes (1) 275 340 272 363 $ 2,523 $ 2,655 $ 2,505 $ 2,704 ____________________________ (1) The carrying amount includes the unamortized discounts on the issuance of debt and adjustments related to the change in the fair value of interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges on the 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2038 Notes . Refer to Note 7 for additional information regarding derivatives. Capital lease obligations have been excluded from the calculation of fair value for both 2015 and 2014 . The fair value amounts of long term debt as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were based on current market rates available to the Company (Level 2 inputs). The difference between the fair value and the carrying value represents the theoretical net premium or discount that would be paid or received to retire all debt at such date. FAIR VALUE OF OTHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The fair value amounts for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net, commercial paper, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximate carrying amounts due to the short maturities of these instruments.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , 751,601 shares subject to previously granted RSU s vested. A majority of these vested RSU s were net share settled. The Company withheld 237,088 shares based upon the Company's closing stock price on the vesting date to settle the employees' minimum statutory obligation for applicable income and other employment taxes. Subsequently, the Company remitted the required funds to the appropriate taxing authorities. Total payments for the employees' tax obligations to the relevant taxing authorities were $22 million and $14 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively, and are reflected as a financing activity within the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. These payments were used for tax withholdings related to the net share settlements of RSU s and dividend equivalent units (" DEUs "). These payments had the effect of share repurchases by the Company as they reduced the number of shares that would have otherwise been issued on the vesting date and were recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , 188,675 shares subject to previously granted PSU s vested. A majority of these vested PSU s were net share settled. The Company withheld 62,208 shares based upon the Company's closing stock price on the vesting date to settle the employees' minimum statutory obligation for the applicable income and other employment taxes. Subsequently, the Company remitted the required funds to the appropriate taxing authorities. Total payments for the employees' tax obligations to the relevant taxing authorities were $5 million and $2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively, and are reflected as a financing activity within the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. These payments were used for tax withholdings related to the net share settlements of PSU s and DEUs . These payments had the effect of share repurchases by the Company as they reduced the number of shares that would have otherwise been issued on the vesting date and were recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the assumed conversion of all dilutive securities. The following table presents the basic and diluted EPS and the Company's basic and diluted shares outstanding: For the Three Months Ended September 30, For the Nine Months Ended September 30, (in millions, except per share data) 2015 2014 2015 2014 Basic EPS: Net income $ 202 $ 188 $ 579 $ 553 Weighted average common shares outstanding 190.4 194.8 191.6 196.4 Earnings per common share — basic $ 1.06 $ 0.97 $ 3.02 $ 2.81 Diluted EPS: Net income $ 202 $ 188 $ 579 $ 553 Weighted average common shares outstanding 190.4 194.8 191.6 196.4 Effect of dilutive securities: Stock options, RSUs, PSUs and DEUs 1.1 1.4 1.2 1.4 Weighted average common shares outstanding and common stock equivalents 191.5 196.2 192.8 197.8 Earnings per common share — diluted $ 1.05 $ 0.96 $ 3.00 $ 2.79 Stock options, RSU s, PSU s and DEUs totaling 0.4 million shares were excluded from the diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , as they were not dilutive. There were no anti-dilutive stock options, RSU s, PSU s, or DEUs excluded from the diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2014 . Stock options, RSU s, PSU s and DEUs totaling 0.4 million shares were excluded from the diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as they were not dilutive. Under the terms of our RSU and PSU agreements, unvested RSU and PSU awards contain forfeitable rights to dividends and DEUs . Because the DEUs are forfeitable, they are defined as non-participating securities. As of September 30, 2015 , there were 90,236 DEUs , which will vest at the time that the underlying RSU or PSU vests. Through 2011, the Board authorized a total aggregate share repurchase plan of $3 billion . In February 2015, the Board authorized an additional $1 billion of share repurchases. The Company repurchased and retired 2.0 million shares of common stock valued at approximately $153 million and 5.2 million shares of common stock valued at approximately $404 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , respectively. The Company repurchased and retired 1.1 million shares of common stock valued at approximately $70 million and 5.0 million shares of common stock valued at approximately $276 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 , respectively. These amounts were recorded as a reduction of equity, primarily additional paid-in capital in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Equity. As of September 30, 2015 , $768 million remains available for share repurchases under the Board's authorization.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies LEGAL MATTERS The Company is occasionally subject to litigation or other legal proceedings. The Company does not believe that the outcome of these, or any other, pending legal matters, individually or collectively, will have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, financial condition or liquidity of the Company . ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH AND SAFETY MATTERS The Company operates many manufacturing, bottling and distribution facilities. In these and other aspects of the Company 's business, it is subject to a variety of federal, state and local environmental, health and safety laws and regulations. The Company maintains environmental, health and safety policies and a quality, environmental, health and safety program designed to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations. However, the nature of the Company 's business exposes it to the risk of claims with respect to environmental, health and safety matters, and there can be no assurance that material costs or liabilities will not be incurred in connection with such claims. The federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, also known as the Superfund law, as well as similar state laws, generally impose joint and several liability for cleanup and enforcement costs on current and former owners and operators of a site without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct. In October 2008, DPS was notified by the Environmental Protection Agency that it is a potentially responsible party for study and cleanup costs at a Superfund site in New Jersey. Investigation and remediation costs are yet to be determined, therefore no reasonable estimate exists on which to base a loss accrual. Through September 30, 2015 , the Company has paid approximately $850,000 since the notification for DPS ' allocation of costs related to the study for this site.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (" U.S. GAAP ") for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements . In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting principally of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company 's audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in the Company 's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 .
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]	PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION DPS consolidates all wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company uses the equity method to account for investments in companies if the investment provides the Company with the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of the investee. Consolidated net income includes DPS' proportionate share of the net income or loss of these companies. Judgment regarding the level of influence over each equity method investment includes considering key factors such as ownership interest, representation on the board of directors, participation in policy-making decisions and material intercompany transactions. The Company is also required to consolidate entities that are variable interest entities (“ VIE s”) of which DPS is the primary beneficiary. Judgments are made in assessing whether the Company is the primary beneficiary, including determination of the activities that most significantly impact the VIE ’s economic performance. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company provided 100% financing to a VIE as part of a short term leasing structure for which DPS is the primary beneficiary. As a result, DPS has consolidated that entity. The Company ’s financing of the VIE , which totaled $21 million as of December 31, 2014, included a transfer of cash and assignment of the rights to deposits previously made with a manufacturer in prior years. The Company 's financing of the VIE , which eliminates in consolidation, was used by the VIE to purchase certain property, plant and equipment. During the quarter ended June 30, 2015, the leasing arrangement with the VIE was terminated through the Company assuming ownership of the property, plant and equipment purchased by the VIE as repayment of the Company 's financing of the VIE . No gain or loss was recorded as a result of the termination. The Company eliminates from its financial results all intercompany transactions between entities included in the consolidated financial statements and the intercompany transactions with its equity method investees.
Use of Estimates	USE OF ESTIMATES The process of preparing DPS ' unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. These estimates and judgments are based on historical experience, future expectations and other factors and assumptions the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and judgments are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are revised when necessary. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period of change. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates:
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets	• goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets;
Revenue Recognition	• revenue recognition;
Pension and Postretirement Benefits	• pension and postretirement benefits; • multi-employer pension plan withdrawal liability;
Risk Management Programs	• risk management programs;
Income Taxes	• income taxes.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (" FASB ") issued Accounting Standards Update (" ASU ") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (" ASU 2014-09 "). The new guidance sets forth a new five-step revenue recognition model which replaces the prior revenue recognition guidance in its entirety and is intended to eliminate numerous industry-specific pieces of revenue recognition guidance that have historically existed in U.S. GAAP . The underlying principle of the new standard is that a business or other organization will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects what it expects in exchange for the goods or services. The standard also requires more detailed disclosures and provides additional guidance for transactions that were not addressed completely in the prior accounting guidance. ASU 2014-09 provides alternative methods of initial adoption. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 , Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date , which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year to December 15, 2017 for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after that date and permitted early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that these standards will have on the consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (" ASU 2015-03 "), in order to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. The ASU requires debt issuance costs to be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than an asset. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15 , Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements - Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcement at June 18, 2015 EITF Meeting (SEC Update) (" ASU 2015-15 "), which clarifies that companies may continue to present unamortized debt issuance costs associated with line of credit arrangements as an asset. ASU 2015-03 and ASU 2015-15 are effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The guidance also requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented. The Company will early adopt these standards as of December 31, 2015, and does not anticipate a significant impact to the Company 's financial position as a result of this change. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory ("ASU 2015-11"). This ASU requires inventories measured under any methods other than last-in, first-out (" LIFO ") or the retail inventory method to be subsequently measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value, rather than at the lower of cost or market. Subsequent measurement of inventory using LIFO or the retail inventory method is unchanged by this ASU. ASU 2015-11 is effective for public companies for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on the consolidated financial statements and does not anticipate a significant impact to the Company 's financial position as a result of this change. .

(2) In December 2010, the Company entered into an interest rate swap having a notional amount of $100 million and maturing in May 2038 in order to effectively convert a portion of the 2038 Notes from fixed-rate debt to floating-rate debt and designated it as a fair value hedge. The assessment of hedge effectiveness is made by comparing the cumulative change in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate with the cumulative changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap, with any ineffectiveness recorded in earnings as interest expense during the period incurred. In February 2015, the swap agreement was modified and transferred to another counterparty through a novation transaction. As a result, the Company de-designated the original hedging relationship. Under the original hedging relationship, the $25 million recorded as an increase to debt due to the changes in fair market value of the debt will be amortized into earnings over the remaining term of the 2038 Notes. In February 2015, the Company then designated the new interest rate swap contract as a fair value hedge with a notional amount of $100 million and maturing in May 2038 in order to effectively convert a portion of the 2038 Notes from fixed-rate debt to floating-rate debt. The Company uses regression analysis to assess the prospective and retrospective effectiveness of this hedge relationship.

The assessment of hedge effectiveness is made by comparing the cumulative change in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate with the cumulative changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap.

[2]

In December 2010, the Company entered into an interest rate swap having a notional amount of $100 million and maturing in May 2038 in order to effectively convert a portion of the 2038 Notes from fixed-rate debt to floating-rate debt and designated it as a fair value hedge. The assessment of hedge effectiveness is made by comparing the cumulative change in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate with the cumulative changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap, with any ineffectiveness recorded in earnings as interest expense during the period incurred. In February 2015, the swap agreement was modified and transferred to another counterparty through a novation transaction. As a result, the Company de-designated the original hedging relationship. Under the original hedging relationship, the $25 million recorded as an increase to debt due to the changes in fair market value of the debt will be amortized into earnings over the remaining term of the 2038 Notes. In February 2015, the Company then designated the new interest rate swap contract as a fair value hedge with a notional amount of $100 million and maturing in May 2038 in order to effectively convert a portion of the 2038 Notes from fixed-rate debt to floating-rate debt. The Company uses regression analysis to assess the prospective and retrospective effectiveness of this hedge relationship.
