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.
