I actually don't mind this tax I think it's better than the deposit. The deposit is a tax on people who have their recycling collected from their homes so it's a bit unfair. But if you're buying nips you're not doing it because of price as it's the most expensive way to consume liquor it's because you want to throw it out of the window. I have no problem with towns making money from people who do this, littering is not just disgusting it's completely avoidable too. It's not hard to throw trash away, and if you're hiding alcoholism stop by a dumpster on your way home. They literally have them outside some liquor stores and people still throw their trash out the window.
