Looks like that horrible witch Shortall is going to bring this in - and you wont be able to escape it by crossing the border. Turning into such a nanny state. This is being brought in but no mention of extending night club opening times that was in the Labour manifesto

Is it going to cut/change anyone's drinking habits for the better?
Main effect will be that people drink longer at home in an "uncontrolled environment" before hitting the club/pub = Negative effect. Thats what Id be doing anyway. Nobody's going to start drinking less FFS

What an absolute joke. I'd buy 24 bottles of whatever Tesco have a special on about once a month, usually for around €20 or so. If they charge 50cent per unit of alcohol, that's going to be upped to €48. This pisses me off so much. What don't FG just tell the truth and say this is purely to increase revenues. The Black Market for booze will be massive after this. Also, how much would a bottle of Whiskey cost after this? Edited by FrankosHereNow - 27 Jan 2012 at 1:43pm |

What i'm worried about is a blanket rise in prices. OK, i get the idea (however flawed it is) behind getting rid of dirt cheap drink and below cost alcohol sales in supermarkets e.g, a 2 ltr bottle of strong cider containing maybe 15-20 units for £2 odd. Horrible stuff but anyway.
I'd be a big fan of so called premium ales and imported beers costing in a supermarket say £2.30 for one 500ml bottle - Easily above the 50p per unit proposal. My fear is that prices will rise on these kind of products as well despite not really being the target (supposedly) of the legislation.

Should have just introduced a ban on below cost selling in my view. Hard to argue in favour of below cost selling of a mind altering product.
I wonder have they worked out the elasticity of this. I wonder the economic analysis of this.
