i wonder how much of this is driven by the breweries?, would they profit more from creating more footfall in bars, drinking their product, or will it balance out the loss of domestic drinking, i once read that a bottle of wine is £5, and after all the costs hardly anything for the producer, but from £5 upwards the producer gets more, ie why most £5 is crap but one at £8 a lot better.

we are told its the nanny state, but is it? is it just not another way to try and save one of our ailing industries, that after all said and done (the cost of policing, health, yaddada)creates revenue, a revenue that cant afford to be lost by any government.

people will stay at home to watch football on their sky tv, and smoke as much as they want, and drink draught beer from a can, at a 3rd of the cost of a pub pint, whilst talking to their mates on Skype for free, how do you compete?
