I notice you UK people trying to scare people with these sort of threats. One of the earliest forms of anti Brexit propaganda I saw from across the pond was shameless advertising to young people about how they need to vote anti Brexit because they won’t be able to get drunk on holidays anymore. Like that the most important thing in the world. No, partying isn’t important. No, no Americans are going to notice your shitty malt liquor is gone when there’s a million other things to choose from. We’re not letting you work your way out of this with that weak shit.

Some people see threats everywhere. What threat?
Its simple economics. If you tax something to hell there is far less incentive to export it since it wont be as viable. The options are
A) The country quits exporting as much causing shortages of said product
B) The price is hiked to maintain profits which is passed on to the consumer
If no one will miss Scotch why does the USA spend over 1 billion dollars a year on it.
You are a incredibly aggressive person to discuss anything with. Almost imbalanced. It's almost like that stereotypical image of the 50's american who see's "commies" everywhere.
