Do I think drunkeness and drung use needs tackling on some level? Yup.

But as, I think is pretty much consensus on this point - we have established that, consciously or not, these proposed 'sin taxes' are going to impact more on the poor and vunerable. The big question is why focus on them? Is it because they represent an apparently unpalatable side of society?
If it's revenue Governments are after - and let's face it, the so called 'health issue' is way down on the list of priorities here - why are these measures more rapidly and keenly implemented than simply hiking taxes for the rich and super rich?

The real, big, corrupt rot starts at the top of the tree and yet Western Governments seem to delight in trying to 'fix' those that have less to contribute be it in taxes or whatever, on the bottom first.
Who does more damage in the long term? Some wreck head chuggin' cheap cider on an estate or your Enrons, your Madoffs, your Lehmans?
