Drinkers, are doing it for themselves

Great story in the Australian Daily Liberal newspaper about how the swallied will not be stopped.

The government have brought in tax rises on alcopops to combat the global epidemic of binge drinking. It's not had quite the effect intended as all it's done is make the drinkers change tactics.

They're now drinking at home, making their DIY drinks, based on pure spirits such as vodka.

As one of those interviewed, a Ms Crowley, said:

"Why would we spend more money on pre-mixed drinks, when we can buy better and more alcohol for the same price?"

Hard to argue with that swalogic.
