Allegheny County wants to place a 10 percent tax on alcohol. Drinkers interviewed on television’s “booze news” say they will go to Butler, Armstrong or one of the other surrounding counties to do their drinking.
Those opinions show just how stupid drunks are.
If a beer costs $2 in Butler County, it will cost $2.20 in Allegheny County.
Gas now costs more than $3 a gallon. Think how many beers a drinker would have to drink just to “break even” drinking in another county.
Then the drinker would risk getting a drunken-driving ticket.
