Treasurer Wayne Swan has revealed his personal experiences with his teenage children influenced his decision to crack down on alcopops.When quizzed today about the tax hike on ready-to-drink alcoholic beverages, known as alcopops, he referred to his family."I have teenage children," he told Network Ten this morning.He was then asked if they drank a lot of alcopops."Well they do, and they do mix in that scene, and I have observed that scene a lot," Mr Swan said."Some of these alcopops are quite dangerous because what you have is a mix which disguises the alcohol content."Critics have claimed the alcopops price rise is a tax grab, given the government's own modelling shows consumption of the drinks will continue to rise.There have also been claims young binge drinkers will simply switch to cheaper alcohol.Mr Swan denied the alcopops tax increase was a con.He said the increase would target binge drinking, particularly among young women.It would also close a tax loophole created by the former coalition government in 2000 which had been a gift to the alcopops industry, he said.
