I don't see why the rich should be able to get very drunk without going in the pubs, but everyone else has to suffer from taxation.

The whole idea proposed by this report is daft. It'll kill off the remaining pubs, although the way things have gone you'd think it was in labours manifesto to do that. Punishing the majority because of a minority of people can't drink responsibly, is wrong.
