Is it too hard to not drink? Blame the beer companies is as about as stupid as I have ever heard.

Where have you been? They perfected this tactic suing the tobacco companies. They have now been going after fast food outfits, this was just an expected progression.

I can't wait for the price of beer to skyrocket, just like the price of tobacco products did. And I'm a beer drinker.

2300% increase in the tax on loose tobacco shortly after the emperor was seated. Eventually people will quit smoking and then they start looking for something new to tax. In Michigan the revenue shortfall was so great that they were even considering taxing free food eaten by restaurant employees.

Maybe they should raise the tax on alcohol brought on to the reservation by 10,000%.
