Did the EU tarrif American alcohol or does trump think Canada is is in Europe?
Quick edit:
EU out a 50% tarrif on US whiskey yesterday, it’s still unknown if Trump thinks Canada is in Europe tho
It probably depends on the moment.
I feel it oscillates from “basically already a state” to “European nation that happens to be next to us” to “damn Canadians won’t give me Greenland, must be the left.”
Oh no, a 200% tariff that he’ll recall 48 hours later? How scary! Anything but that!
I’m … kinda ok with this particular, but my father was an abusive alcoholic. Although, his vice of choice was vodka which probably doesn’t apply.
But fuck Trump tarrifs still, I just want a heavy booze tax, not some stupid man baby hissy fit with the rest of the world.
The problem with that is people, especially alcoholics, are still going to drink. If its prohibitively expensive, they’ll turn to bootleg liquor which is probably contaminated.

Yup, I know. Actually, when they did this with cigarettes they did see it go down a little with adults but the main thing was that it helped reduce youth smoking. Teens have a tighter budget for these things.
But the bootlegging is unique to booze, so yeah.
But non-alcoholics might start looking to thc instead. This could hit booze corporations with a double whammy of a hard hit to their bottom line while forcing a lot of their customers to seek alternative adulterants.

It’s abundantly clear by the state of our nation that we need to drink a whole lot less alcohol and smoke a whole lot more weed.
One amplifies hatred, the other dispels it. Blow Marijuana in a Republican’s face, it’s your civic duty.
Noooooooooooooooooooooo
