It would be necessary to increase the price of alcohol astronomically by numerous pounds per unit rather than pence to have any impact. And then of course the trade in illegal alcohol would increase so it would create more problems than it would allegedly solve. This is just another tax on the poor dressed up as a public health issue. And I completely agree with Kestrelx about the hooray henrys who will continue to behave outrageously no matter what - I am thinking David Cameron and George Osbourne and their antics with the Bullingdon Club - do as I say and not as I do?
