Hmm... isn't the usual justification for a special tax on alcohol that it's an undesirable activity? A "sin tax"?

- schroeding 4y agoNot always, sometimes the justification is just an honest "we need money" - e.g. the German tax on sparkling wine was put in place to pay for the battleships of the navy. The Imperial German Navy of Wilhelm II. In 1902. Still in place. :D
