"in order to combat teen binge drinking"
This sort of sums up the failure of Rudd/Howard, making it expensive won't do a thing, kids have tons of cash from casual jobs and generally live at home so they don't really pay a lot of rent.
That and the joyful irresponsibility of youth means they just don't give a damn |
Yeah, it's a bit of a joke, lol.
I dunno though, maybe I was a cheap little shit when I was a teenager, but there's no way in hell I would have paid $15-$20 for a 4-pack of Smirnoff Ice or something Back then it was only $20 for a cheap bottle of vodka. Or, better yet, $7.99 for 4 litres of goon! (Handy hint: If the goon-bag is empty or close enough, you can open the tap and blow air into it, thus creating a handy pillow to use when you inevitably pass out in a pool of your own vomit! )
