Sadly, adhering to this rule would prevent buying coffee and beer -- two things I'm looking forward to as the world re-opens :)

It would also prevent one from buying plain Coca-Cola or other soft drinks in certain countries. One of the odd things about the history of pricing in the Nordic countries is that the price of ordinary soda has climbed to that of Red Bull, while the price of Red Bull itself has stayed about the same.

In the USA, I can buy 67oz of Coca Cola for $1.
8.4oz of Red Bull is about $2.
1.4 cents per ounce vs 47 cents per ounce!
Coffee seems far more expensive than this to produce, especially for good/specialty coffee.
Would never spend $2+ for a drink that costs about $0.09 to manufacture.
