Was the alcopops tax a bad idea? ?

Question

I think it is.. It was a bad move made by the government, they should get rid of the tax as soon as possible..

Its making people more drunk.. its cheaper to mix our own drinks now..mixing our own drinks is stronger than alcopops.. Alcopops give you a limit on how much alcohol is in a bottle.. even if alcopops are a little bit disgusting, and sweet..

Who else thinks it was a bad idea to put tax on it?

Answer 1

its the dumbest thing ever done by a goverment...its cheaper and easier to buy 2plastic flask one for ur fav alcohol and one for your mixer... and take it to a party...duhhhhhh...its actually increase the consumption that way..why are polis so dumb..

Answer 2

Of course it was a bad idea,,,they didnt gain anything,,and as you say,,people will just buy something cheaper still.

Answer 3

UDL type 6 pack cost $29.95 that is 6 standard drinks, (Rum & cola mix), or you could buy a 700ml bottle of the same rum for $29.95 which contains 32 standard drinks. Gee I wonder what the teenagers are going to buy now. 6 drinks or 32 drinks for the same price.  

Answer 4

It most certainly was, they have just turned to bottles and lots of them.  When they put the tax on them too, then the old bootleg will be in great demand and then how are they even going to know what alcohol content they contain.

It is up to the parents to teach responsible alcohol consumption.

Some how the government is allowing parents to have no responsibilities any more.
