Skybird is right about most "juices" sold in stores they are really flavored sugar more or less.
Those measures wont solve much people will either buy the more than one item to get more than 16 oz or they will use a lot of those sugar packets.

Why? In supermarkets all these 1 gallon canisters still can be bought. The ban is on hand-held opoen drinks bought in for examples bistros, cinemas, theatres, and such. Supermarkets remain unaffected, and that means private households will not chnage.
I would have chosen another way. Stamp a 500% tax on top of the bottle if it contains more than a minimum of refined sugar. Helps public finances for some time. Makes people hesitent.
And as somebody mentioned, subsidies. Stop subsidizing crop for sirup production.
Ach was, stop subsidies alltogether.
