Minimum Pricing in Scotland

[AtW]

All can make you blind - leading to greater cost to us.

Methanol can kill too...

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.

It's all about moving the bell curve, so that the peak moves away from heavy drinking towards tee-totallism. The idea is that if you can shift the peak, then you'll move people out of the "at risk" band, and so overall you'll have fewer alkies.

Whether there's any good science behind this, I've not a clue!

There isn't.

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

When I worked in Donegal (north west Republic of Ireland) I bought all my booze over the border in Tescos Strabane.

The Berwick superstore must be planning a warehouse extension at the moment...

He means Scots.

However he should really be talking about alcoholics who live in Scotland.

Alcoholics will still drink regardless of the price of alcohol

There is already a problem in the UK with fake alcohol, which is basically methanol, and with minimum pricing this problem will get bigger.

Folks here in Bavaria appear to drink responsibly, whether in the pub or on the train, never see a fight for the life of me. I don't get it. The last time I saw a fight break out here in Munich was a couple of guys with northern English accents. Australians get a bit rowdy n all as do some Eastern Europeans come to think of it.
