damn price risings
yesterday i went into safeway liquer and got a 6pac of woody's and it cost me $15. today i went in and it cost me $20. thats just bull****, now im not an alcoholic and i havent been drunk in a long time i just love to have a few bourbons just like people like to drink a few coffee's cos they like the taste but this new price rise is just crap, everything is already expensive enough.
i know it's all to do with stopping the underage drinkiong but that wont stop it, if its harder for them to get it they will try harder to get it.
sorry bout the rant and rave but it really ****s me, they put the prices up on everything but our pays still stay the same, its just wrong

This price rise, while it doesnt effect me yet, im sure will at some stage in the future.
I work in a bottle shop and there are a fair few OLDER people who come through and buy alcohol every day, they're there in the mornings, as soon as the shop opens, getting their bottle of spirit, and then the next day they're in again.
And the pre-mixed 'lolly water' drinks arent exclusively consumed by teenagers either, quite a fair number of older people buy them, what have they done to deserve it? Nothing.
In a time where everything is going up, to slap a stupid tax that doesnt solve the problem (it wont, anybody who thinks the streets will be free of drunks now is sorely mistaken) is shortsighted.
What would be a plan would be to say, 18-21 year olds pay at a higher rate, because after 21, you'd hope most people would be responsible enough and have learnt. Well, atleast thats what they think when they let people loose with cars

bite your tounge on this topic, it's clear that by that remark you have got absolutly nothing of value to contribute to this subject.
dude, that sucks, i guess prices are gonna rise. i know in brisbane they are uping the price on the alcoppop pre-mixed drinks to try and stop this bindge drinking problem. i dont think it's gonna do much to stop the issue.

It's for the same reason here in Vic. I agree, it won't do anything, if kids can afford to binge drink, they can cough up the extra $5-$10 for booze.
It's just a way for the government to make more money IMO.

LOL!
the first step to recovery, is admitting you have a problem, clearly, the thread starter has a problem, and is not on the way to recovery! hahaha!

I cant see how it will work. I'm not much of a drinker, but go on a bender every now and then lol but normally its wine.
I have not really paid much attention, its just bottles/multi packs that have gone up in price?

A sixer of Woodies isn't much dude, unless you are weak. Woodies are crap anyway.
I drank 5 Wild Turkey stubbies last night, and those are 8% each. I don't drink much at all and i didn't really feel ****ed off those. I was a little tipsy, but not smashed.

clearly you have a mind that states anyone who drinks more than 3 of anything a night must be a alcholic.
on anzac day i consumed 1 1/2 a carton of booze, not to mention what i did at the rsl, im sure that minux (ex army he is, im ex navy) im sure he consumed more than that. i look forward to you calling him a alco.
in the future keep ya mouth shut, and dont try to flame people.

keep your own mouth shut, you might drink less that way too.
LS-EXUAL
Oh yeah totally, i drink maybe once a month if that. I'm sure you drink more than that......
moderator- for now anyway
Well I think technically if you go and do an are u an alcoholic questionaire type thing anyone who drinks a 6 pack with be classed as an alcoholic lol theres alcoholics and then theres alcoholics...
and besides the op didn't say he was going to drink them all so don't jump to conclusions.
The price increase won't affect me because I don't really drink, once every couple of months I may feel like a weak kahlua and milk but other than that I don't drink. I don't particularly like the taste of alcohol. It sucks that those who are responsible with their alcohol intake are being punished because of a bunch of retards that cant but thats life in general, always a few ********s spoiling it for the majority

In all non drinkers eyes, anyone that drinks is a drunken pussy that hasn't learnt to or just can't deal with life without drinking. No drinkers can be pretty harsh about this theory they have and I'm one of them :| but honestly that's how I see it too because hard as I've tried to make sense of it, I can't see the point in drinking

Do you mean people who have a quiet relaxed drink, or dumb****s who go out and drink just to get trashed?
I enjoy a bourbon or 2 once a month because i like the taste. And because ALL i drink besides that is water (3 litres a day), it taste's extra nice.
dah dut dut da dah
alcopop's what a name!
anywho, the price "christie" is a dollar a can/bottle on top of the normal retail.
a six pack cost's an extra $6.00 ect ect ect

Is this only for lolly water, ok what i really want to know is BEER safe? lol.
If the goverment really thinks this is going to work they are idiots, all it is going to do is leave kids with 5 bux less, which they would normally buy a midnight snack, or condoms. We all know that having food in your stomach when drinking is important, and well drunken sex happens so dont denie it. Or kids will just have to get 5 bux more lol. I know back when i was underage drinking i would work it out so i could afford dinner, grog and a midnight snack, most of my mates were like this to. Oh wait im still underage lol, TWOJZ is going to love this, i drink atleast once a week, sometimes i have a drink on a week day, maybe one two or three, what ever i feel like, i dont get drunk thats just a waste of drink, but i will drink when ever i feel like one. Right now i've im on my 6th caus ive had a really **** day, but ive been drinking since 3.
I earn money, i swap that money for goods and services, what i purchase is up to me really if i can afford it.

No. Beer is getting a $15 - $25 price rise per slab soon. Apparently beer is next.
Ecotech Power
How about a slab, surely they arnt going to charge an extra 24bux a slab?
And "COBEZ", im the same i only drink water, not coke, cordial or any of that ****, i drink water all the time, and **** i have never felt better since i decided to stop drinking everything but water, and i do have the od beer or two at home, usually by myself, or with my brother or girlfriend, i dont go out and make a dick of myself, and get drunk.
Ecotech Power
Oh well, drink less or work harder.
dah dut dut da dah
beer is safe in price wise only the kiddy pop's
but cobez is right all alcohol, ciggie's, sex. is set for the usual CPI rise.

And on the odd occasion you have a bourbon, or in your case, a beer, it makes it taste alot better and you enjoy having less, alot more.
LS-EXUAL
I forget where i heard it (about the beer), but it's due for the rise soon, but yeah, it's safe for the moment.
