observer Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Minimum pricing for alcohol - will it change behaviour or will the behaviour just cost more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davy51 Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Yes, the government should really be drowning in its taxation windfall.But ,apparently ,the problem is what everybody is already aware of...getting tanked up on cheap booze from the supermarket then going out for a couple late on & meeting up with others in the same condition.

Lt Kije Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 It's very easy to blame the government, perhaps we should be looking closer to home, these People that get tanked up have parents, why do they consider it acceptable to get tanked up? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Seems that the alcohol business say imposing a minimum price of about 40 per unit is illegal under EU competition law. I wonder if imposing a minimum price on one bottle/can and using a bogof offer on another bottle/can is breaking the law? :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted March 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Pre-loading is merely a response to pricing, not even sure the new prices will make it unattractive, given pub/club prices - and in any event, it will go on. Getting hammered is the British disease, and has been part of our historical culture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
