I don’t agree with it necessarily, however I also think that people are making a huge deal over this. It is only 10 percent. If you go and get a beer at full price it is only like 30 or 40 more cents per beer. If you can’t afford like 40 more cents per drink, then I am sorry, maybe you should be doing more important things than drinking. Just my opinion.

Take a look at it from another perspective. If a typical bottle beer in a bar is 2 dollars. With tax it goes to 2.20. Normally in this situation you would tip the bartender 1 dollar. Now instead of the bartender getting 1 dollar they would get 80 cents.
