There should be an agressive push to stop underage drinking instead of just randomly pumping up tax to punish everyone, of course the former doesnt generate tax revenues tho.
I don't believe the proposal is to use taxation to force the price up, rather it is to legislate to make it an offence to retail alcohol below a determined unit price.
