Good Evening Aussies

Well I think most Aussies see high tobacco tax as being pretty fair.

Tobacco users put a higher burden on the medical system, so they should have to pay for it, not the rest of us.

And I understand that logic.

Here in America, there is a certain "no-go" attitude on the whole universal healthcare thing. Seems to work pretty well for you guys right?

Wait until you see the price of spirits! And we are talking 750ml bottles too!

They charge more than 2 large bottles of JW Black Label over there here for a small bottle of JW Red.

I would hate to see the price of JW Blue Label over here if they even sell it. I gave up on spirits so I stopped looking.

Cheers,
Brewer Pete

Ha! I gave up on spirits also, but not for the same reason

I'm just short of 6 feet and weigh a whole 140 pounds.

I mean "just short of 180 centimeters and 63 kilograms"
