    Minimum Pricing in Scotland

    linky

    Stupid idea. Go to any Nordic country and you will see why.

    Plan B anyone? Open a huge offie just over the border.

      Great idea, booze is too cheap in shops, and I am not even talking about cheap ciders.

      Good help to pubs too - bring on higher prices, £2-3 per can of beer!

        The main problem is these guys want to get completely fecked up.

        They will all switch to something else that does this "job".

        A good example of this is the US's current Heroin problem.

          Scotland's neighbour's would have most societies looking to get off their heed.

            Your posts have exactly the same effect to us on here.

              I don't know. When I was in Copenhagen I was paying roughly a quid a tin for Carlsberg Master Brew (Not Special Brew, this was 10.5%, not the 9% weak stuff) in IRMA shops. Leffe Blonde £7.50 a pint, not bad really.

              Even on my frequent trips to Malmo the beer wasn't super expensive. Norway was different though, not that I ever went but the Norwegian guys in pub talked about 12-20 quid a pint....

                Bad example - heroin isn't taxed by IRS...

                    Boot leg alcohol anyone?
