what if we labeled juice, soda, tea etc with % sugars by volume like how we do with ABV? (kbin.social)

I picked up 24 oz "Green Tea" from the convenience store earlier. I forgot to check how sweet it was, 60g added sugars in the 706.8ml beverage. So this is like 8.5% sugar (g/ml). Obviously that's napkin math but this is showerthoughts, not theydidthemath

Yes, but at least 50mL of 95% alcohol is always the same amount of alcohol. And you won't be able to get over 100% alcohol content by volume, as you can get with sugar in water.

It's not, though. Some places use ABV, some use ABW.
