Fun fact: there is a beer allowance (Haustrunk) in Austria if you a work in a brewery. And that allowance is tax free.

- Qwertious 3y agoThat sort of thing makes more sense than you'd think - if people earn money at a brewery, spend money on beer, and handle decisions about large amounts of beer on a daily basis then it encourages them to perhaps find an excuse to 'spoil' beer then take it home. If everyone gets a ton of free beer anyway, then most people won't be tempted to nick some booze. Making it tax-free makes some sense, because nicking the booze is also tax-free.
