  The story is unconvincing. The fact she glaringly neglected to supply any actual figure for liquor consumption is highly suspicious. As is the enormous size of the alleged affect. Not to mention how it only works for gonorrhea. Concluding with a strong recommendation to raise taxes appears utterly unjustified.
