Re: A minimum price on alcohol???

I think one of the problems today is that brewers are tailor making drink to tempt younger people into drinking. When the people of my age group started going into pubs (not many clubs in those days) we had to make do with beer Mild, Mixed or bitter, there wasn't even that much lager knocking about in those days, well not draught that is, and the girls, if they were luck had the likes of Babycham or Cherry B, now the shelves are full of very strong, what I would call pop, or alcopops like WKD or Breezers and the rest, we drank ale at about 3.7% now these bottles are 5 or 6% and another thing which is worrying is just what these strong drinks are going to have on peoples health further down the line
