Re: Minimum Price Alcohol
 
There's about 38 units in a bottle of my favourite whisky (Ardbeg Uigeadail), it costs £49.99 if you pay full price. Will I be able to buy a bottle for nineteen quid under this 50p per unit rule?

As soon as I posted that I saw the flaw in my logic!
If the 50p is charged at source,i.e. the brewers, pub prices might go up but the supermarkets would have to pay more also.
If it is charged at the retail point,which is more likely,the supermarkets will love it.I still want some shares!

Heads the supermarkets/retailers win, tails you lose!

Do as many sums as you like, minimum pricing will make beer more expensive in pubs.

How do you work that our Ken, pub beers of 3.4% volume have only 2 units on our prices £1-15 a unit
