The illegal homebrew selling is around and doing well up here. The stuff has the kick of a giraffe gives a hangover that hell cant match and kills all sense of taste. It is not just beer and ale either. Wild sloe berry gin is as far as they go in the spirits side though.

Oh come on Spuggs what the hell difference is it going to make to the price of fine wines ports sherry and spirits, if your paying £50 for a bottle of wine your already paying well over 50p a unit already, so I won't be cutting down:rolleyes::D

Re: A minimum price on alcohol???

I love the way these threads start off on one subject and then wander about.It makes them more interesting For a while we got serious and nobody cared about my whinging about my tinnies,now we're lightening up again.
To get serious again there is one problem we haven't touched-Sexually Transmitted Diseases.There has been a big rise of STD in one particular age group-yes, the 16 to 24 group.And it has been seen as connected to the drink culture.
As Marjory says,the drink and drug problem may be partly youthfull rebellion against the older generations.We all did it-mine was girls my mother didn't approve of,rock and roll and riding motorbikes like a fool. So hopefully the young ones may grow out of the drink/drugs phase.
But they WON'T grow out of HIV and some of the other STD's, they'll have them for life.Even the cureable ones can leave after effects.And that IS sad

And before somebody says 'We don't WANT to touch an STD'-yes, I can see that one coming.

Why its not just broken bones sore heads and an addiction that any changes to booze and its control might reduce. There is everything from personal cost to what it costs the country as a whole with the effect it has. There is more to the issue than the 10 bob a unit proposal.

Well Gordon you've got to admit STDs weren't of great concern when we were young, the most you could end up with in those days was the clap or crabs, lucky I managed to miss these nasty little things. Its different today especially since the onset the HIV in the 80s and other things like chlamydia

I was under the impression that drunkeness limited a man's capacity:confused:
.....which would result in involuntary contraception
