Report advocates higher Wyoming alcohol tax
WYOMING - A group that reviewed Wyoming's alcohol laws advocates increasing Wyoming state alcohol taxes and using the money to fund programs aimed at cutting underage and binge drinking.
The Wyoming Prevention Framework Communities group also recommended to state lawmakers that Wyoming require mandatory training for alcohol servers and ban booze sales to drunk people. The group is made up of representatives from all 23 Wyoming counties and the Wind River Indian Reservation. It released its report Thursday.
The report recommends increasing the tax on all alcohol products to equal the national average, with top priority going to a beer tax hike. Beer in Wyoming is now taxed at two cents a gallon. That is the lowest in the nation. The national average is 26 cents a gallon.
