so i hear on the news today that instead of increasing the tax on beer, as was the plan, that now the chiefs in charge will just add a 25 cent increase to the tax on cigarettes. WTF??? i wanna know y cigarettes get the shit taxed outta them when its drunk drivers who r constantly killin ppl??? granted second hand smoke has its effects but at least it doesnt alter anyones state of mind!!! it just burns my ass that everyone wants to "get" the smokers and no one really pays attention to the drinkers. maybe if a beer cost u 15 bucks at a bar ud think twice about how many ur gonna have and then step into a car. seriously, what bullshit. i can remember when u could buy a 20 oz soda and a pack of smokes for 5 bucks or less........it takes 5 bucks just to get the smokes now. tell me if im wrong....but i havent seen a dramatic increase in beer prices since then. the world is goin to shit.
no personal news.....well i do have a funny story about my x but i think ill keep that one for my personal enjoyment. lets just say i laughed long and hardy yet again. i should thank him one of these days for continuously makin me laugh.....ud think that he would get tired of bringin me such amusement but it just doesnt cease. ;) hahahaha
im movin next weekend and i only have one, thats right ONE box packed. ugh, i hate packin then unpackin. how silly. i need to find some more boxes. thats my mission tomorrow b4 i go to work. maybe ill even get around to fillin those boxes!! :) keep ur fingers crossed for me.

who cares,, smoking kills. drinking rules. quit bitching
Alcohol prices have gone up a lot in my time of being legally able to drink. (I'm 28)
When I was 21 it was $1.50 for a bottle of domestic beer in a bar. Now, its $2.50.
Smokes were $2 a pack, now they are $4 (by me).
Its a similar price increase, although cigarettes are more. A high tax on alcohol wouldn't go through, since that would open up an entire underground liquor market. We made that mistake during prohibition, by banning liquor. I have the know how to make moonshine, and could easily get the materials I'd need, since its all basic and food related. I can't grow tobacco in my backyard though.
