Higher taxes for 'boozers'

I am writing in response to the Oct. 21 Kathleen Parker column, "Reefer sanity: a rational marijuana position."
Legalizing dope would be saying, "Go ahead and do it. It's legal."
I don't read in the paper that "dopes" are being treated any worse than drunk drivers or drunks urinating in parking lots.
Tobacco is being taxed to death, and there are those who want to tax "fat foods" also. So why aren't we taxing "boozers" more?
