I've always felt that tax collect from 'specific' area should be spent in that 'specific' area (not just lumped into the coffers)
So it could be used for:
Extra policing/survellance Sat nights
Clearing up the street on Sun morning
(arresting the drunk & disorderly and getting them to clear the streets on Sun morn)
Investing in non-alchohol rellated activities (free health centre / swimming pool etc on Saturday nights?)
Governments have never felt any obligation to justify taxes - probably because they wont do any of those and just give themselves a jolly good pay rise instead
