what if we labeled juice, soda, tea etc with % sugars by volume like how we do with ABV? (kbin.social)

I picked up 24 oz "Green Tea" from the convenience store earlier. I forgot to check how sweet it was, 60g added sugars in the 706.8ml beverage. So this is like 8.5% sugar (g/ml). Obviously that's napkin math but this is showerthoughts, not theydidthemath

I should've been explicit about solubility etc. being obstacles here instead of just writing 'napkin math'. I think the general idea is still a good one, I just don't have the math (physics?) chops to say exactly what method of measurement/comparison would be needed
