Alt: I think they're basically trying to price us all out of the market until only former members of the fucking Bullingdon club can afford alcoholSerious and less cynical answer: depends how you apply it. If you can stop supermarkets and cornershops flogging "K" and "Ace" at 60p a tin, I think the hope is that people might be more inclined to go to the pub. Although, of course, for that to work, you have to make the price of a pint cheaper in-house, i.e., so the fucking chancellor doesn't take 1/3 of what you pay for the fucking thing.
Edit: On this note, I found out from our chum 'Moaty' last night that some other cunt wants to close my favourite pub. Again. The thing had only just been saved from the short-sighted cunts at Hackney council and now some other cunt wants to shut the place down. More details when he remembers to gaz me like he promised to.

It's more than a third now VAT is 20%I think there should be no duty on beers less than 4% and Wine less than 12%. (within pubs)
Those aren't common in pubs but they'll start moving people to weaker drinks by them being significantly cheaper, I'd guess about 50p a pint.
