I personally think the whole binge drinking thing is being blown out of proportion by the government in a bid to increase taxes on alcohol. We have 'apparently' had it far to easy and cheap to buy alcohol according to a non-drinking mate of mine.
Why penalise everyone under the same taxes when 95% of the population would not be binge drinking?
I'm a beer drinker, love nothing more than 1-2 beers after work to unwind, so it wont hit me too hard (yet), but still like a can of CC and dry or JD here and there, and unfortunately - won't be the case anymore when im having to pay $25+ a six pack or $10 a can in a pub/club.
