High capacity cups???

Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks"

It is just one more example of why our country is currently destroying itself.

Government meddling always assumes that everyone has the same capacity to adapt, and that unintended consequences never occur. For example, banning tinted car windows or pull down shades would effectively make my mom a shut-in. You can get window tint plates from the State of Illinois with a doctor's signature only if the person has one of two allowable, chronic conditions (she does). If the state subsequently decides to ban all window tint because too many people are abusing window tine, then what? The same could apply to this drink size restriction mentality, for people who may need to consume large amounts of fluid with medication, after a medical trreatment, or for some metabolic reason.
Before long, we'll all need doctor's notes to use the bathroom, once some nannies claim that bodily fluids put undue strain on the sewage treatment plants, contain traces of controlled substances that affect the water supply our children drink, harm the endangered rat species in the sewers, and on it goes.

Yes. As Obama, Quinn, Boomberg, and others continue to show us. They keep raising the bar on "stupid". Just when you think it can't get worse, they pass even more restrictive laws.

You should've bought a bunch to stockpile, then when they are made illegal, you can sell them for 10 times the original price!

This is the age-old, fallacious, big government argument:
If it's good to do, it's good for government to do.
If it's good to do, it's good for government to do.

I wonder if this law will also prevent you from buying more then one drink within a certain time period.
