Soft drinks sales
The proposed ban would affect virtually the entire menu of popular
sugary drinks found in delis, fast-food franchises and even sports
arenas, from energy drinks to pre-sweetened iced teas. The sale of any
cup or bottle of sweetened drink larger than 16 fluid ounces — about the
size of a medium coffee, and smaller than a common soda bottle — would
be prohibited under the first-in-the-nation plan, which could take
effect as soon as next March.
The measure would not apply to diet sodas, fruit juices, dairy-based
drinks like milkshakes, or alcoholic beverages; it would not extend to
beverages sold in grocery stores or convenience stores.
