Washington The Bush administration proposes higher taxes on alcoholic beverages costing the average American family about 101 dollars annually and hitting the poor hardest. The plan would raise a 1.98 dollar tax on vodka to 2.54, tax beer to 81 cents per six pack, and wine tax to 76 cents per bottle, with other wine taxes rising by alcohol content. The Congressional Budget Office says the lowest income group would bear the greater burden, spending 308 dollars yearly on liquor, wine, and beer compared with 1,210 dollars for the highest income group.
