The price of booze is going up again, quite significantly if this is passed.
"The government's top medical adviser has drawn up plans for a minimum price for alcohol which would double the cost of some drinks in England."
Great news for those of us with NO MONEY who enjoy a pint.

No great loss if they do.
Alcohol can cause people to do some pretty nasty things. It's a catalyst of unpleasantness.

Speak for yourself.
I, like the majority of people, can enjoy a pint without throwing a bin though a shop window.

Some can, come can't.
Unfortunately those that can't (Which I'd put at about 50%) tend to make others pay for it in one way or another.

It sounds fair to me.
For every person who has a couple, gets merry, then goes home, there's some fucktard Chav who gets hammered, then gets violent.
The more they charge for alcohol, the less drinks said Chav will be able to afford on his 13 Child Benefit cheques.
