Peter. No adjust for population?

See ABS Apparent Consumption Of Alcohol series for per capita consumption of alcohol.

A measure the ABS appears to have discontinued, for good reason: https://goo.gl/BLn7fy pic.twitter.com/9GjlV0YQat

To be clear, you are asserting causation here, not just correlation?

Between the male cabinet and the relative inaction on alcohol? It's one possible explanation. Byrne lists others

An observation has been made, a hypothesis formed, what's next? Can the hypothesis be confirmed by observing other economies?

What ever happened to the alcohol equalization tax measure?
-
"Incoherent" in the words of the Henry Review. The tax on wine is applied on the basis of price (falling) not alcohol content (rising)
-
So much for the slogan of simplifying the tax system!

Even as a regular wine drinker, I would like to see equalisation of alcohol taxes. Cheap cask wine kills people and ruins lives.

linking tobacco tax increases to preferential protection of men over women is an alarmist and unfounded conclusion
-
Why,
@HM_Capital? I am genuinely sending you a query for elucidation. -
no doubt other predujices at play but I see them as lower dependent vars in this instance
-
Again, WHY is it "alarmist and unfounded"? It is reasonable to be alarmed by it, and you have NOT presented "founded" counter-information.

Peter - generally a fan, but this suffers from Hot-Take-itis: misleading facts and tenuous causation claims, mixed in with a bit of truth 1/

Speaking from some direct experience, IMO truth is pretty simple: alcohol lobby is powerful & hitting alcohol tax w/be much less popular 2/2
