attributed to alcohol.

15% of all deaths from diseases of the respiratory system are
attributed to alcohol.

30% of all deaths from accidents caused by fire and flames are
attributed to alcohol.

30% of all accidental drownings are attributed to alcohol.

30% of all suicides are attributed to alcohol.

40% of all deaths due to accidental falls are attributed to alcohol.

45% of all deaths in automobile accidents are attributed to alcohol.

60% of all homicides are attributed to alcohol.

Why aren't we taxing the crap out of alcohol consumption?

Everybody jump on the tax them to force them to comply with our will
bandwagon. Not!
You would make an excellent British subject.
Laws are one thing but the management of the herd by taxation is morally

the bandwagon. Stop fueling special interests with our pocketbooks.
Don't call for anyone to dig into Americans' pockets.
