Raise taxes on beer.
Alcohol consumption increases the likelihood of mayhem on college campuses.
Beer is the alcoholic beverage college students are most likely to drink. Imposing a tax hike on beer to raise the cost of each glass, six-pack or keg will reduce consumption. Fewer drunken students mean less violent and nonviolent campus crime. Economists Michael Grossman and Sara Markowitz reached their conclusions by analyzing data on 122,416 students attending 191 institutions of higher learning between 1989 and 1991. The information was gathered by Core Alcohol and Drug Surveys of College Students.
