Sin Taxes

[exhawg]

I'm sure alcohol is has a sin tax, but I'm not sure how much it is. My questions is how much is alcohol worth to you? If alcohol was taxed to say $20 per 6 pack of beer would you still drink? In bar terms double whatever you pay for a drink right now.

fuck that. I'd make my own.

That would leave more money for me to spend on top of the line breadmakers and leech fields.

Hell, I paid that for beer when I lived in Japan...although the US military was giving me per diem to compensate the devil's juice.

I was thinking that as well. I bet a lot of people would start making their own brew. My dad used to make wine at our old house where we had several grape vines and a ton of apple trees. It tastes like shit, but it will fuck you up as good as anything. I would buy stock in a company that makes beer brewing kits.

I have a funny feeling the amount of pot smoking in America could go up quite a bit with beer at $20/sixer.

Hell, if wine/scotch stayed the same price, it wouldn't affect me in the least.

However, if all booze went up in price, we would probably still drink on occasion, but limit it to special occasions where you need to be drunk.
Like weddings and family reunions.

And don't forget if you did this the Beer companies would make sure that the sin tax got added to all bottled and canned soda like they already have in Columbus.

The assumption was that all prices would go up, although if they increased the tax on all bottles of scotch $20 it probably wouldn't affect the people who buy expensive scotch as much as it would affect the people who buy the cheep shit.

I doubt many weddings would have open bars anymore if the price of alcohol was jacked up like this.

Dang, good thing my wife works for a craft brewery. I don't remember the last time I bought beer at the store.

I'd spend my money on other things...like bourbon.

I'll give you $100.00 a week vcash if you send me cases.

 

[Buckeyeskickbuttocks]

methinks Stoo's observation is correct.

Right. I was trying to say it would be an occasion where it might be worth it to me to pay the hefty price.

I'd be freezing fermented apple juice like it was my job.
