The current price is already doing far too good a job of saving me. Instead of a nice glass of white wine with my Hunters Chicken dinner tonight I had a bottle of panda pop :sad:

Thats quite true in some pubs which is a bugger when you are trying to be good when driving and get fleeced in process! Keep doing your bit :lol2:

The change in price won't change much. Or are they saying only poor people drink themselves to an early death? Talk about profiling behaviour by income - jeesh!
What needs to change is 'our' attitude to drink - all of us, not just the authorities. Taking alcohol to anti-social limits should be actively discouraged and trained out of people from an early age - by their parents, or if not them, by their peers and peers' parents. Alcohol alone doesn't make people drink too much - most people manage with a glass or two and stop, knowing to go further will become unpleasant.
I feel drunken behaviour - not just being drunk, but being antisocially drunk - should be slammed hard by the police and courts. Not spending my money imprisoning them - get them doing real community work, useful public stuff - yes, shame them publicly for their behaviour. Since they were willing to embarrass themselves in public while drunk, they can do it sober.

is with foxy on this one
:thumbup:
If people want to go out and drink, who has the right to stop them.
This is just another way of the taxman grabbing more and more of our money.
If the supermarkets are selling below cost, then thats the choice they are free to make.
We are no longer able to go out for an evening, and have a smoke and a drink in peace.
Now they want to dictate how much it is going to cost you to drink.
Wont be long before they come up with a tax on CONDOMS, because we are becoming to liberal about SEX.
Putting up the price wont affect those that drink to much.
After all beer is around £20 a gallon now, and no bugger cares.

Thank you for making that important distinction foxylady, I get drunk but am normally sleepy or smiling more confidently at sexy ladies than I do so when sober but am no trouble to anyone
