Not really, this will lead to kids buying shit quality spirits and fucking themselves up.

The federal government here in Oz introduced a tax on alcopops, claiming that it would curb binge drinking. All it resulted in was people buying straight vodka and mixing it with whatever they liked. The result being that they ended up drinking far more alcohol, because they'd dollop in the vodka rather than drinking the weak piss that's in the alcopops.
Also, they somehow introduced the tax before even making it a law and it ended up failing in the senate. Democracy fail.
