birdwatcherChicago Tribune -- University of Florida epidemiologist Alexander Wagenaar and his colleagues compared Alaska's alcohol tax rate over a nearly 30-year period with deaths due to alcohol-related diseases such as cirrhosis. They found that when the tax rate shot up, deaths plunged as much as 29 percent.
Their study suggests that raising the price of booze could be a more efficient way to address the deadly toll caused by drinking than building new clinics or starting new programs.
"It's a simple adjustment that has a very, very low cost [to impose], and it has a significantly larger effect than any of these preventions we've tried," Wagenaar said. "The simple fact is that if you raise alcohol taxes, you save lives."
Вот эта логика, я считаю, поразительнее даже любви к DEA, CPS и центробанкам.
