Binge Drinking: Our Best Year Ever.
Hewitt calls for higher alcopop tax.
LONDON (Reuters) - Health Secretary Patricia Hewitt wants to increase tax on alcohol -- particularly the fizzy, sweet drinks known as "alcopops" -- to curb binge drinking among teens and young adults.
Teenager: Mum, can you increase my allowance, please?
Patricia: Why, dear?
Teenager: Well, alcopops have gone up.
Patricia: Oh. I see. OK, all right then. Have you ever thought about... drinking something else?
Teenager: Like...?
Patricia: Well, how about Fosters?
Teenager: Why?
Patricia: Well, it's a good Aussie drink.
Teenager: Mum, seriously, I'm not into drinking kangaroo piss, OK?
Patricia: No worries.
