-------------------------------------------------
Thesis Statement: “High taxes on alcopops are a unnecessary and an ineffective way to stop binge drinking.”
Introduction: Alcohol and its consumption are an accepted and enjoyable part of Australian culture, with a long history and deep social and cultural roots. However, attitudes toward alcohol are also complex and evidence of significant alcohol-related harm to individuals and communities demands a concerted and effective response. Harmful and excessive consumption of alcohol is influenced by a complex set of social, cultural, environmental and economic factors. There is a large debate over the taxation of ‘Alcopops’ – pre-mixed drinks. In the hope that raising the taxes would lower binge drinking, especially directed at teenagers
There are different kinds of taxes, income tax, property tax, and sales taxes are just a few. These taxes are gathered so schools can be run, roads can be built, and other services can be provided. It takes millions of dollars to build a road. Along time ago in Athens it was relieves no one man can build all the roads, so together they joined there funds through taxes for the greater good. And roads were built and later the public was educated. Without taxes not one of us would of have a formal education. Not only does taxes provide for public education and roads, it provides for police and the fire department. The police and fire department are run by our taxes. Without them how would we put of house fires, and how would stop the criminals. Taxes are important, but there are reasonable amounts of how much tax should be on certain items.
Alcohol like many other items is taxes. Alcohol has moderate/high taxes depending on which type you buy.
The level of alcohol consumption in Australia has not changed over the past 20 years - even among young drinkers; the majority of RTD consumers are not teens, but aged in their 30s and 40s. But there is so much
