Wankette 12: Beer

This should not be taken seriously by our sin tax legislators but a study showed that violence decreases when the price of beer _______
a) rises
b) remains the same
c) goes down.
If you answer c, you are a moralist but you are also right.

A research report published in Applied Economics has found that the number of patients with violence-related injuries treated in hospital emergency rooms is related to the price of beer. The researchers examined admissions to 58 hospital accident and emergency departments over 5 years and found that as the price of beer increased, violence-related injuries decreased. In general, studies have found that alcohol consumption increases both the risk of being a victim of violence and the perpetrator of it. This means that beer in Abra and Kalinga should be sold very expensively? Hey, what about gin?
