Minimum alcohol price thread
Is it going to work? Makes the budget rather irrelevant when they pull out a mega-tax the day after in the name of 'control'. UK will be one miserable place after 5 years of the tweedle dumb and tweedle dee show. Pricing worked in Scandanavia I suppose and will also shave some expense off the health budget. The elephant in the room is air-quality though (probably as destructive as smoking but no-one mentions it) which Spelman has already said is too expensive to tackle

should have been a poll but this shitty website required I login to post it and then blocked me out.

options were:

(i) alcohol related crime and hospital visits should be paid for instead.
(ii) Will work and is needed.
(iii) Won't work and is a nanny state move
(iv) blue and yellow stilton

it's not that simple to answer with a poll imo.

it will be bad for pubs, which i think is a bad thing, people will just drink tins at home rather than go down the pub, i realise pubs aren't particularily healthy social places but they are traditional and local and i think the pubs dying out is a bit of a shame.

this won't really effect alcoholics, they'll drink whatever the cost.

Fucking Sin taxes are ridiculous, pretty soon nobody will be able to afford to have any fun.

What a bullshit way to try and control drug intake.
