Image the queues of people stocking up at Asda for days before. Supplies would dry up. Alcohol keeps doesn't it?, better get several years worth in before the price rise. All I can say is they'll have to spring this on people.
Booze cruises will also suddenly come back into fashion.
Perhaps a more sensible measure would be to introduce a maximum purchase allowance similar to when buying paracetamol.

What a brilliant comparison that was, the only thing that making paracetamol only available in packs of 16 was it increased the price, anybody who wanted paracetamol in large amounts only have to walk down any street calling in at grocers newsagents etc. probably the most useless piece of legislation ever
