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.

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?

Alcoholic hand gel favoured with squash?

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