uh yeah. And I can BET with certainty they will not drop to the same as they were before. No way in hell. Instead of the 18 bucks a 6 pack for certain mixes, it will be 20 or 22....
They'll drop the alcopops and raise the spirits. I can't buy any of it anymore too bloody expensive on an apprentice rate with house payments.
I bought two 30litre beer fermenters and I brew about 50-75 litres of beer a fortnight. Tastes better, can customize with flavours a lot more. $20 bucks gets over 2 cartons of beer....spirits fermenter soon.....

What if the bill doesn't get passed? I'd like to know how the tax will then be returned?

is double the size of a stubby).
In comparison to the price increases I mean. Obviously it's not cheap compared to the past, we are all aware of that though. Getting a slab of anything alcoholic under $40 these days is considered cheap! Doesn't break the budget like premixes.

Well my last grog run went from $16,940 and that was before Xmas
to the one I just put in 3 weeks ago . all the same stuff $24,873.

The tax should go but you will find a lot of the bigger clubs will not drop there price and if they do it will only be very little.

That $5 bottle or cask of wine is looking pretty damn good right now, you tax the alcopops, the kids move onto the wine.

Of course! Back in the 80's they weren't available and we still managed to slam ourselves on a plethora of cheap spirits, wines and mixes ........ and they are still available at very cheap prices. Its just trendy now to bring out the premixes ...

Should just revert to petrol ..... $1.60 a litre, apparently gives you a hell of a kick, damn cheap in comparison and if any left over will get you home!
