People say the alcohol in Aruba is not much more expensive than US, that's BS. I buy it at the NH Package store and it's alot cheaper. In past years I've always brought five cartons of cigarettes home with no problems, but it sounds like Aruba is trying to now generate cash through fees just like the old USA.  |
Guess it depends on where you live. Wisconsin has extremely high tax on alchohol and tobaco (glad I no longer smoke). There's a long running saying in Wisconsin if everyone stopped drinking and smoking, the state would have to double the income taxes to cover spending!
Seems I just found another benefit to doing AI on the island. No need to smuggle in booze to cover my habit
