Raising Alcohol Taxes Reduces Death Rates PDF Print E-mail
The Substance Abuse Policy Research Program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation recently funded a study on the effects alcohol taxes have on alcohol-related deaths. The results have proved surprising.
"In the first study of its kind to directly measure the effect of state alcohol tax changes on deaths from alcohol-related diseases, researchers found that raising alcohol taxes had two to four times the impact of other common prevention efforts such as school programs or media campaigns."
Researchers studied tax increase impacts in the state of Alaska, which is the first state to impose significant increases. During the years in which tax increases were implemented - 1983 and 2002 - Alaska saw 29 percent and 11 percent drops (respectively) in alcohol-related deaths. Source: Science Daily
