Finns support tougher alcohol policy

Newsroom Finland is reporting that Finns are in favor of tougher alcohol policy and slightly in favor of a slight increase in the already high alcohol tax (only recently cut 33% on average). Also supported was the use of alcolocks, a product already on trial in Sweden that prevents drivers from starting a car if they fail a breathalyzer test connected to their ignition system. The alcolock system still seems to be too expensive to justify, and there are a number of ways one could circumvent the control and still drive drunk, but if costs come down it could serve as a deterrent in coordination with other technologies and techniques.
