Research indicates that a 10 percent increase in current alcohol excise taxes—that is a penny for a beer—would result in less drinking, especially among underage drinkers, reducing rape, robbery, domestic violence and liver disease. A tax increase of 3 cents per beer would cut youth gonorrhea by 9 percent.

Cute, now they blame getting a dose of clap on drinking beer.

Does that mean drinking wine gives you crabs and drinking whisky causes syphilis?

I highly doubt an underage drinker wouldnt give a shit about paying an extra penny for a beer.

Say, what...........

I find this idea perfectly natural. It's an extension of the notion that "guns cause crime," "booze causes drunk driving," and "weed is a gateway drug" lines of thinking.

Another non sequitur from the media.

so an irish car bomb is a trifecta -- rape, the clap and syphilis in a pint glass

Fuck it. Parents investing 5 dollars in a pack of trojans also keeps them from getting the clap. Eventually that 3 cents adds up to less ammo I can buy.

Masturbation works too. Just give the girls vibrators and the boys access to internet porn. We've now increased the likelihood that they will now be sociopaths but hey they will be disease free.

Masturbation causes sociaopathy?
