Bottom line is, its usually a safe bet to go with a small if you're in America. Unless you're a fat-ass, the medium and large will always be way too much. Small is at least 12oz, medium 22oz and large 32oz. In a lot of places its like: small 22oz, medium 32oz and large is like a fucking quart.
Like, who needs even 22oz of sugar water? I know this volume is the current US standard so I will probably piss people off by saying that, but c'mon. Soda is just gross in general. Empty calories. Soda and refined grains (white bread) are to blame for our obesity epidemic and widespread diabetes...for which taxpayers are footing the bill when it comes to things like fat-people scooters.
Alright I know you said you live in America but it seems as though you actually live in some sort of quaint little bohemian village. Which places do you frequent? I would like to get away from the pig trough and go to some sensible places like the ones you describe. Sounds too good to be true
I do live in a place where food is very important to the culture. I try to only frequent local restaurants that support local farms. I know most the country doesn't operate that way but it is important to me so you won't find me at any chain restaurant.
What's up with cup sizes?

This is standard at the places I frequent.
Small 8 oz
Medium 12 oz
Large 16 oz
Or the restaurant has only one sized glass for beverages, usually a pint glass.
