That doesn't make any sense. Kids will still get it. It makes more sense to put a ridiculous tax on it.

But if people are drinking them then there is no choice, the only solution is a huge tax.

i doubt Queen would let them tax their products, there would be massive lawsuits if their sales drop.

There has been something like a 25% increase in the sale full strength spirits. I'm sure the tax will increase on them soon as well.

They can tax one kind of alcohol more than another type of alcohol... how is that any fairer?
