I do not think Left so that did not occur to me.

Obesity kills many times the number of people worldwide every year than alcoholism. Using the WHO’s logic we should tax food much more than alcohol.

“if countries of the WHO European Region were to introduce a minimum level of 15% tax on the retail price per unit of alcohol, regardless of the type of alcoholic beverage, it would save 133,000 lives each year."

133,000? Not 133,001? Not 132,990? Lol.

Filthy moralist thieves. What hypocrisy.

"...Well, last time they didn’t implement it right..."

If I had a penny for every time I heard this about socialism and communism, I would be a billionaire.

Menthol flavored tobacco is on the verge of extinction. We just saw the draft rule in the last week or so. This was started under Trump when he raised the tobacco purchase age to 21. I don’t know why tobacco is available for sale anymore but I know it’s not a popular view. I am probably a prohibitionist at heart as well. I see too much damage done by alcohol.

Me either but absurdity always catches my eye and ear. Unfortunately I suppose.

Individual liberty comes as a condition of personal responsibility. Without the second you reserve the certain right to kill yourself with the first. That’s OK by me.

If they don’t want to mandate it, they want to ban it.

If they don’t want to ban it, they want to mandate it.

Is the WHO populated by Muslims??

Well that's a real comfort. Its worked so well for climate change and pandemic predictions.

Prohibition on Cuban cigars has worked brilliantly.

Now we get to order them online from abroad—delivered to your door tax free.

If they were legal they would be taxed to the sky.

Remember—bootleg liquor would be tax free!

“The price of alcohol roughly tripled or quadrupled after the 18th Amendment took effect.”

Did you ask this man if he had ever heard of the “War on drugs”? and how he thought that was progressing?!?

[Organic Panic]

“For the WHO, the only factor to be considered is health for health’s sake.”

And let me guess where that 15% of taxed alcohol sales goes???

[Aut Pax Aut Bellum]

I am sure no Muslims are behind this...
