I wouldn't be surprised if the alternatives that the citizens of Seattle are choosing are juices, fruit punches, iced teas, and other non-water beverages that are hardly better for you than soda.

I had to look this up and you're right: the "sugary drink tax" excludes fruit juice.

Also, Starbucks is exempt.
