Raising the price of pre-mixed alcoholic drinks?

Question

do you really think it will help the 'problem' of teen binge drinking?

Answer 1

not a chance unless they make them like 200 dollars a bottle, i dont think they realise kids get jobs and earn money.

but i think binge drinking is a bit of a problem.

Answer 2

No, but I did not expect the prices to stay the same.

Answer 3

Cost is not a huge factor in binge drinking. My state leads the nation in this activity. Drinking by teens is largely "expected" and acceptable by a large number of parents who say, "Well! We did it!"

There will always be those who will "give" alcohol to minors — particularly minor females (for obvious reasons).

Our Legislators do not have the fortitude to enact and demand enforcement of appropriate "contributing" laws (it was difficult to get them to lower the drunk driving limit to .08).

The stigma of "Prohibition" still looms over the culture and no one is teaching "responsible" or modeling "responsible" drinking to minors. It is an all-or-nothing zero sum game out there, and it's killing our youth.
