alcohol and sugar are already regulated to various degrees. you need to be a certain age for alcohol. you wont get served if you're shitfaced. The cost itself is often prohibitive. Some countries have sugary drink taxes, and/or don't allow them to be sold in school cafeterias
You're so right, we should double the drinking age and raise costs 1000%. And the sugar should have a 1000% tax.
Good thinking. this will prevent people who already make poor decisions because their brain isn't developed yet from consuming alcohol and making the problem worse. Drunk driving being a hobby is fucking disgraceful.
And sugar wont be is ALL of our food!
Win-win!
