­A local councilman has proposed a “sin tax” on alcoholic beverages served in area bars. The councilman believes that since the amount of the tax alone will exceed the cost of most non-alcoholic beverages, many people will switch from alcohol to other beverages.

Which of the following statements, if true, would most clearly indicate a vulnerability in the councilman’s argument?

A. Both beer and hard liquor will be taxed under the councilman’s proposal.
B. The cost of alcoholic beverages is already considerably higher than that of any non-alcoholic beverage.
C. Many people abstain from alcohol for moral or religious reasons.
D. The “sin tax” should apply to cigarettes instead because smoking causes more preventable deaths than does alcohol.
E. Many bar patrons consume more alcohol on days when they arepaid.
