Re: Price of alcohol

Taxation on alcohol served in a public house should be reduced and content % taken into consideration. Like Sweden. Alcohol to take away should have taxation increased substantially.

You missed an opportunity there.

You should have written “Well as they say were there's a still there's a..........”

Re: Price of alcohol

For more years than I have inhabited this planet the majority have always been punished for the antics of the minority.

It’s been like that since your school days, maybe not so much today but in years gone by when the whole class was punished until the miscreant owned up or was grassed up.

Heck we even have a government that is in office due to a minority of the population vote.

Personally I don’t care what they do about alcohol – I don’t use it. In fact it could be argued that it is payback time for all those bigoted none-smoking drinkers who joined the “ban smoking in pubs” campaign.

Re: Price of alcohol

Strange this, if this had been a idea from the opposition, you know the ones everyone hates, we would have had no end of words like: scum, Bast**ds, Thatcher to blame' etc. However because it is the great party's idea well its okay then.
Glad I don't drink that much

The elected government haven't thought this one up
It is the latest proposed 'health improvement' campaign that this non-elected interfering/nannying nincompoop has decided is good for us

Should bring the cost down quite considerably.Add to that the wine from the knock of grapes and the vodka still in the cellar I reckon we could start a new black market to rival the others the government have forced upon us.:mosher::D:D

PS The tobacco plantation is coming on a treat.

Cant have the moonshine but the baccy count me in. :D

I am sorry Graham but your response to the subject gives me the impression that it has been on the agenda for some time.
If this is implemented I think it will be the last nail in the coffin for this government, not by the yobs who abuse the law but by people who enjoy a drink in the privacy of their own home.....comes across as a mini prohibition and should be avoided at all costs......the same guy was responsible for the smoking ban.....whats next? :confused:

Re: Price of alcohol

just hope the NHS has enough funds rat-holed away to treat all the folks who will be coming in for treatment for alcohol blindness/poisoning from drinking bootleg/home made booze , are these cretins in the Govt. hell bent into turning the UK into a third world country .....I can remember living in Africa years ago when villagers would "try' to brew thier own booze , (often including items like car batteries and dead snakes ). No matter what anyone says , the increase in the price of alcohol will lead to a rise in the production of moonshine/siddique/ rot-gut .

just an opinion :cool: :cool:

Instead of pricing by alcohol content, what about limiting the alcohol content of beer? Would that not have the same effect without costing us more money?
