This video shows a disadvantage of raising tax levels on alcohol as many landlords believe another increase will cause the end for their pubs leading to the loss of thousands of jobs.

I am going to use this video alongside the two articles I wrote about last week and ask pupils to debate which taxes should be increased to solve the budget deficit.
