Wow! That’s a huge tax! I’m not sure if I want to visit Australia now. Hehe, just kidding, I want to visit as many places as I can.

Yep, and the 40% tax bill doesn't even include the mark up so that the producer can make a profit. It's insane.
I think it was partly to try to deter excessive drinking in the country but it's such an ingrained part of our culture that it didn't slow anyone down. It just made the cheap alcohol more popular and made it harder to produce high quality products.
