So in a shocking development noone could have predicted, it turns out that raising the tax on premixed drinks just encouraged people to buy spirits and mix their own.

Ha!

EDIT: Yes, ok, I'm an idiot (see the comments). You know when I said I was too tired, grumpy, and stupid to post? Well, the first two have gotten better...

If the choice is between pre-mixed drinks, and mixing your own, and the cost is the same, then I like to think that people will choose the option that tastes better

You'd like to think that, yes.

You're forgetting the cost of labour of mixing. It's very tiring on the arms!
