I seriously thought you had to be joking. But no! Ok I figure, the carbon footprint of milk is massive[0], it must be taxed at a higher rate?

Still haven't understood this one yet though. Some kind of protectionist tax rate for the farmers?

This is 100% normal and happens in America. It's a huge reason why hard seltzers took off. (They're brewed instead of distilled)

On top of this, you can have local based taxes or tax breaks. (I.e. Chicago has a bag tax, leave the city.. no bag tax)
