Who are the stakeholders? No religion on earth permits drinking of alcohol, even smoking is prohibited as it's not beneficial to our health. I'm not surprise must of the NASS are drunkards, while some own beer parlours.

Jesus turned water into alcoholic wine.

Apostle Paul encouraged preachers to drink alcohol but adviced against getting drunk.

Catholic church soaks holy communion in alcohol wine/beverage to preserve it before distributing /putting it in the mouth of the members.

So many places in the bible to mention but no time to mention them here.

I know for a fact that Islam abhors alcoholic beverages. But all my Islam friends drink alcohol.

Will U shut up already..... Does eating fud make U a glutton? U are okay with collecting tariffs from alcoholic and tobacco companies but yet see it as an evil? Does religion permit abuse of cough syrups? Why not also ask for tariffs on basic pain killers to b increased since dey are also abused... U are quick to hide behind religion as an excuse but yet will b quick to complain if Mosques and churches are asked to pay tax and tariffs.

Ignoramus. You are just advertising your ignorance for the world to see. Christianity does not prohibit alcohol. Neither does Judaism. I wonder how u are commenting with your Islamic bias when u are this ignorant.

In all, industries suffer and ultimately unemployment prevail.

We are not all christian and Muslim. I am not in support of senate's position though. The tariff on alcohol was effected some months ago and all lovers of alcoholic beverages have adjusted and move on. Nobody is complaining to the best of my knowledge except the senators.

Jesus,the one truly recognized saviour of the world drank wine.
What any sensible religion frowns against is excess.
Many Arab princes with real functional and operative sharia law drink wines,gin and beer in the comfort of their palaces.Yoruba Muslims,with liberal and realistic thoughts, take beer like any other human.

I don't agree with the steep increase of the excise tax. They should keep it a reasonable rate in order to generate revenue. These taxes are always passed on to the consumer anyway.

Lol is tax such a boring topic everyone has to ramble aout religion. These guys dont care about your religion they just want your money.

Is Australia that forbid alcohol for d aborigines trying to islamize them also? I don't know why supposedly educated ppl take CAN propaganda of islamization ,hook line and sinker? I as a Muslim with my intellect I don't take everything a cleric, imam or sheikh preaches just lime that I apply my God given intellect to judge. I might not challenge anyone openly but I still think about it, its implications, rationality, and context most importantly.
If ur pastor tell u that Buhari wanna islamize d country, u shd have asked him how that is gonna be in a country like Nigeria with all its peculiarities? How islamized is Buhari himself while in d army and now? How would d western countries allow an Islamic state, at this time when they are setting a new world secular order, where they want all heavenly religions downgraded and heinous activities like same sex union promoted?
