Tories plan alcopop taxes- The Sunday Times 2nd March 2008

ALCOPOPS and other strong drinks will face higher taxes, under plans from the Conservatives to curb the binge drinking culture. David Cameron’s Tories are planning to increase excise duty on a range of products associated with problem drinking, it was reported last night. As well as alcopops, such as WKD, strong lagers such as Tennent’s Super, and White Lightning, the 7.5% alcohol cider, will be targeted in the tax rise.
