What dont teenagers have much of? MONEY in fact I'm betting that their money is provided by their parents as pocket or lunch money. so an increase in alcohol tax on sweet drinks equates to more cost therefore the young can buy less and therefore less damage to themselves. Thats the labour way of thinking with the new tax!
Show a little backbone will you, the kids of today are our future and we need to look out for them.

EDIT: If you really need to get blind on booze go to you local bottle shop and buy a cheap $15 bottle of booze and go to the supa-market and buy a bottle of coke for under 2 bucks. A standard 750ml bottle of booze makes 25 standard drinks and believe me the first 6 taste like crap but the next 19 will taste like water, why because you wont be able to tell the difference.

of 20 and at 20 years of age ,technically their not teenagers anymore!
this way its only teenagers that pay the tax and nobody else
