Sugar Tax

Sugar Tax
Seattle taxes on drinks containing sugar ... The reason for it it because it causes obesity ... I do not deny that. But I have problem with following points.

(1) If Coke and Pepsi were taxed because they have sugar ... Why isn't any of the Starbucks drinks which contain sugar taxed?

(2) If to prevent obesity is the goal, why don't you but tax on beer? It may not contain sugar as sugar but you do not call big stomach "beer belly" for no reason.

The answer may be ... (1) Seattle City Councils do not upset local companies. (2) Seattle City Councils do not upset people who can vote. This is just a hypocritical.
