13 Sarah ElstonI completely agree! Teens will still drink; they will just drink cheaper, nastier stuff than before and will just find other ways to get the money to afford it... the problem solvers need to think laterally on this one...
14 Ashlei MorganI am a 21 year old. and this increase on alchopops is not going to stop binge drinking. i currently study and were given an assignment, and i have chose to do it on the tax rise. it's stupid to think that putting up the price of these drinks will stop us. but in fact the rudd government are getting us drunker. i no longer buy the pre-mix, which buy the way is set at usually 5%, i now buy a bottle of vodka, which i end up making 50-50. and what about the older generation that can't afford them anymore.

19 ShaneThe RTD tax accomplishes nothing. If anything young people are drinking more as they simply buy bottles of spirits. It is ineffective and unjust.
