Well, highly taxed things can lead to a black market to bypass the tax (I think this happens with cigarettes already), and I’m sure if the tax went sufficiently high we would see a rise in moonshine production, organized crime would get back into it, etc.
But I could also interpret this post to be primarily advocating for individuals to develop voluntary social practices of avoiding alcohol. That seems the better option.
