The even higher cigarette tax in NYC has simply caused revenue to drop and it isn't because people are smoking less. People buy them elsewhere or on the black.

Yep, we already know how easy it is to make beer and moonshine. Heck, it's more popular than ever since becoming legal again.
My friend just recently came back from a trip to Iceland. Among his stories, he mentioned how beer there had a 98% tax with other alcohol beverages a little less but still much higher than the US. For the record, beer has only been legal for about 30 years after their own prohibition ended and other Nordic countries have a similar viewpoint about alcohol as well. But these countries also have superior living standards on most surveys with fantastic health services.
So what would your thoughts be about adapting similar legislation on taxing alcohol in the US?

Go ahead, but you will need to tax the air , Halloween candy, and ban refrigeration. No grains either. Also need to make spit illegal since it contain enzymes that make sugar out of carbohydrates.
See this is why centralist da guberment morons always wreck a society. They have no idea how truly stupid they are.
I could make alcohol with canned fruit and a garbage bag. I have made alcohol with mulberry trees and tree sap.
The high cigarette tax in New York indirectly killed Eric Garner. People need to think about the big picture instead of saying "well, X looks like it worked out well there, so let's do it here and get the same results"
really? that's your argument against high cigarettes taxes?

My argument is that we shouldn't use tax as a weapon against things some people don't like.
