The Journal of the American Medical Association notes a surge in non alcoholic beverages as prohibition grows. It cites 1914 Cahutta belt grape juice output near 5 million gallons and 1916 retail soda and sundry sales around 500 million dollars. Ice cream use could reach 200 million gallons in 1917, valued at about 80 million dollars at 40 cents per gallon. Public health regulation favors soda fountain hygiene over liquor saloons, which lack such oversight.
