Why is alcohol so expensive in Sri Lanka?

Prices are high due to state taxes. Foreign alcohol costs almost 3 times more than local alcohol. For example, BeeFeater gin (1 liter) will cost 18,500 rupees, while local drinks, such as arrack, start from 3,700 rupees. To save money, buy alcohol at the Colombo airport duty-free, where prices are reasonable, and they accept dollars, euros, or bank cards.
