The cynic in my thinks this will its undoing. Some huge fraction of alcohol profits come from a small portion of drinkers. If these G* peptides help these poor people their drinking under control, it would take a huge wrecking ball to the profits, and thus to the taxes. Can't have that.
They're very expensive drugs so it would be one lobby against another. However given that they're so expensive, I would think that broke, uneducated alcoholics just won't have access to them, so those profits are safe...
Reduced healthcare, policing, and other costs that are paid for with tax dollars from lower alcohol consumption would almost certainly be a net gain over the piddly tax revenue from alcohol consumption sales.
