A round of applause to the federal government for forcing drinkers to go from alcopops to straight alcohol after raising the taxes on alcopops on April 27.
Now, not only do drinkers get more bang for their buck, they pay less tax on it to and have less portion control and thus no idea on how much they are drinking.
According to figures published today, the sales of straight alcohol are up 20%, with the sale of alcopops down 30% approx.
Well, you've got to say, the got everything right.
Now drinkers are saving money, giving the government less revenue, drinking more and haveing less control.
Mmmm, the tax on alcopops was a great idea...
