It will be interesting when the drinking areas appear.....just like the reservations in the A. with gambling ...only perhaps they'll be self regulating gypsy camps with cheap booze
Good thinking stag.
I shall have a word with Dewi the Milk our assembly member and milkman and suggest the principality shuns any such limits. If anybody has a LWB Hi top transit for sale please contact "Welsh Minx Booze Cruises".
You will be receiving mail shortly from the directors of the Staggerlee stomach pumps and street cleaning partnership.....(soon to be amalgamated with BB Bruisers (security) Ltd.)
This thread didn't get a proper airing.
I am all in favour of reducing alcohol consumption by price. I think a quid a unit nationwide would work wonders in so many ways. Bang it on the excise duty and we can raise a bit of voluntary tax too.
Not just drunken louts of a weekend but the long term damage caused by every night excess.
I wouldnt put tax on home brew.
Anyway do the relatively poor buy more units of alcohol per capita than the moderately or very wealthy?
I dunno but I bet somebody does.
The problem is that no matter what price per unit it is fixed at people will always find the money somehow. Kids will go without and bills won't get paid. It's a vicious circle.
Yeah lexy and kaz I can see your points. Its a bit like the arguments for legalising classified substances I spose. That said maybe price control has a part to play
I am heartened that we at least have warnings on the bottles and more deabte. That wasn't happening much 5 or 10 years ago.
