People want to get drunk. Plain and simple. Regardless of how expensive it is to drink, people will still find ways to get drunk. Whether they get drunk at home before going out or overspending on their credit cards, people will still get drunk. It's funny how they think that a price hike will act as a deterrent.
If prohibition didn't work, something as simple as a price hike will have no effect at all.
