We made our own wine coolers when I was in HS, back in the stone age before the distilleries snapped to the idea that they could bottle and sell them themselves. Grain alcohol and Kool-aid will always be an option for the underage boozer. It was kind of disappointing to finally turn 18, and no longer be doing anything illegal. Personally, I think the legal drinking age should be 12. Get your irresponsible drinking out of your system before you even have a license, so you won't kill anyone. That's what me and my friends did back in the early 70s. We stole our booze from my girlfriend's parents who bought their gin by the case and never noticed a quart missing here and there. We were 13, we never could have "passed" for legal age anyway, even when the drinking age was 18. I don’t see how taxing “alco-pop” higher than other liquor/spirits will stop underage drinking.

Increasing a so called "sin-tax" is a sin itself. Those types of taxes are already too high. I agree with Paul on the increase of penalties to those who sell to minors.

The pre-mixed formulas are usually quite weak and people tend to mix their own drinks stronger, especially after they've had a few. the answer would be to increase penalties to those who sell to minors. Otherwise, it's just a ruse to raise revenue - DON'T BE FOOLED ! contrary to the article, it’s actually much cheaper to mix your own.
