On April 1, a tax increase on alcohol known as the "beer tax" will come into effect, meaning Canadians may soon pay more for their beverage of choice.

I'm mixed on this one.

As a detterrent to drinking, great. Fuck alcohol.

As a serious source of taxation, I hate any sort of tax that disproportionally burdens the poorer members of society.
