So, does anybody know what the new French law SAYS (English translation please.) I mean, I could imagine a restaurant selling sodas for a fixed price with up to let's say SIX refills and thereby getting around the law because SIX is a limited number. Even the thirstiest person usually can't wrap themselves around six refills at a time.

People can be amazingly creative about getting around laws they don't like.

Worse, laws often have unintended consequences and, when governments start banning activities that people see as, at worst, harming only the individual who willingly chooses to participate in the activity, even otherwise law-abiding citizens start breaking the law.

Plus, there is the extreme chance that criminals will start cashing in on the opportunity to supply people with the proscribed item. Witness what happened in the U.S. during prohibition. At least the French appear not to have decided to ban sugary drinks outright. Still, I'm not sure this is a good move.
