alcoholic beverage taxation

Alcoholic beverage taxation involves government-imposed taxes on drinks like beer, wine, and spirits, aiming to generate revenue and discourage excessive consumption. Taxes can be based on volume (e.g., per liter), alcohol content (per percentage of alcohol), or price. They vary by country and product type, often resulting in higher costs for stronger drinks. These taxes help fund public health programs and infrastructure while influencing consumer choices and industry pricing strategies. Overall, alcohol taxes balance revenue generation with public health considerations.
