This is another grab at your wallet in the guise of 'helping' you/us/the country/whoever.
Read the article, then sign the petition (at the bottom of the article) or small breweries could be doomed.

I for one like trying small production run beers, I'd rather drink good quality beer in lesser volumes. What say you?
Palmer is a tosser. (Right name for it I suppose.)

Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes. After that, who cares? ...He's a mile away and you've got his shoes
Just faidin away!
Done too!
Don't like signing petitions but dislike socialists punishing everyone for the sins of a minority!
Typical of State School teacher behaviour!
Likes a good argument...
What the hell do they think they're going to accomplish anyway? Anyone throwing around statements like 'increasing the price of alcohol was a persuasive measure to ensure binge drinkers contributed more to the costs their habits imposed on society' better have some bloody good numbers to back that up.
How exactly are 'binge drinkers' costing 'society' in a way that will be balanced by extra taxes?
Unexpected Spanish inquisition
Well seeing as you asked: http://www.3news.co.nz/News/National...4/Default.aspx
The welfare and health care costs and costs of policing are all taken from our tax dollar so there is a direct correlation between binge drinking and taxes.
I like a beer or two, but I certainly don't condone binge drinking, there's a huge difference between being a drinker and a drunk.

Yeah, certainly, but didn't they hike alcohol taxes a couple of years back with that in mind?

Has the alcohol excise tax at 600mil in 2001, which was before that flat alcohol-content-based tax hike... Seems like the numbers might line up already, meaning no serious tax hike should be needed?
Unexpected Spanish inquisition
Good logic on the face of it, but if we didn't have the binge drinking problems to pay for all that dosh could be doing a lot better things for us tax payers. At least that's the way I see it....

The same people advised the huge taxes on speeding that we have for lowering "road safety" costs. Did that work?
