It's fucking bullshit
Go to continental Europe. You can get a half decent bottle of wine for about 75 cents or something, price is clearly not the sole cause of binge drinking.

It's like when you were in school and the teacher kept the whole class behind because one person had been naughty. It's petty and spiteful, and does nothing to solve the problem. Every time you think they've come up with a policy that perfectly sums up the nanny state, they top it!

See also whichever crackpot was proposing extra tax on chocolate, for everyone, because fat people eat too much of it. And the fact that crisps are fried in this sunseed oil shite so they don't taste nearly as nice, why do I have to suffer? Why can't the fat people just eat less crisps?
