Smoking sucks!^^ Well..sometimes ;)

But I want beer! And a sixpack Mixery or so costs round 80 cent more than in other shops.. -.-

Alcohol was our last two tax increases. They said it was to stop alcohol fuelled violence. We're now beating each other up because we're so pissed off about alcohol prices. :D

They couldn't get away with that one again so they went after smokes. They're the two easy targets.

It hasn't anything to do with taxes ;)
Just that "REWE" is more expensive than "Kaufland" or something like that^^

They really tried to tax pre-mixed spirit drinks. They said with the high sugar content they were trying to appeal to kids. So everyone just bought a bottle of spirits and a bottle of soft drink and it was chaeaper and more booze!:D

We had something like this..It was called "alcopops". And they made them more expensive...So then many shops didn't want to sell them anymore..And instead of vodka or so they made them with wine -.- Disgusting^^
