It's state-by-state in America. In Vermont it's for beer and fizzy soft drinks only, the lobbies that want to expand it to everything and get rid of it entirely are evenly matched, so it covers the drinks people bought in bottles and cans in 1970 when it was first put in place. Bottled water was something you bought in gallon milk jugs if you had a bad well.

I was a teen in the 80's, in Australia. People dressed like that. Everyone smoked. Everyone drank drove.
