Re:Do “sin taxes” work? by smittywerben on Monday August 13, 2018 @05:38AM (#17748992)
"Sin taxes" misses most of the problem of the availability in the first place.

In lax states I end up paying half (i.e. $25 for a $50 bottle).

That substantial difference is not taxes alone. I'd guess 15% is due to blocking private stores from entering the market.

So I would rather pay higher taxes if my total cost for liquor goes down, if that makes any sense.
