"Clearly, if it gets to a dependency - not a state I'd wish on anyone - then they do 'need' these things to an extent. And,if it is a dependency then price means fuck all."

So, do we make booze cheap and plentiful to keep the alcoholics from impoverishing themselves? That's not really doing them much of a favor... it's just making it easier for them to drink themselves to death.

And if you are not an addict, surely this isn't a backbreaker.

I think the 'problem' of raising taxes on the stuff is overstated. What are we talking about, a few more cents on each bottle?

I agree that military expenditures are taking away from more pressing domestic issues.. both our countries blow insane amounts there.
