    then you’ll probably end up with a black market of sugary drinks, and people will go to great lengths to get it.

    It’s almost as if this happened before with something else

      It’s more nuanced than that. In the case of sugary drinks however, since they are really easy to make, you won’t even need a black market.

      Just ban the sale and don’t enforce it on the black market. That would cover like 90%. It’s not like soda would be banned entirely, so it’s not like any other example. Just drink Coke Zero (or your flavor preference)

        I have no idea why, but I get horrible heartburn from Coke Zero and Pepsi Max. I don’t get that from almost nothing else.
