As I said, do whatever maths you like to prove me wrong but if it ever comes in round here I'm afraid drinking will become an even more expensive hobby. Most pubs put up beer prices by 10p each budget despite the rise only being a couple of pence. They don't need to but they use it as an excuse and the breweries aren't going to miss out on that.

I'll happily be proven wrong if and when the day comes but the pessimist in me still thinks that the smell of extra money will prove too strong for the majority of breweries.
Hang on a minute, if minimum price is 50p per unit, a pint is about on average £2-30 and is about 2 units, how will the price be affected
