This seems like incomplete thinking to me. So they intend to raise total tax revenue by 1% by getting people to drink more. But won't all that drinking cause healthcare costs of an equal or larger amount?
The older generations were hardcore drinkers in Japan but they seem to be doing just fine, living long and healthy etc… I think most of our woes in the west is due to our supper shitty diet, lack of community and lack of exercise
