Liquor and wine taxed at about 10 percent of price, beer about 16 percent, while tobacco tax share was around 44 percent of expenditure. The study notes declines in beer, wine, and cigarette consumption, offset by upturn in distilled spirits, and cites 1958 tobacco beer and square expenditures at 42,090,000 dollars, equating to 5214 per person.
