How on earth can anyone seriously put this forward as an option? Didn't someone in the committee at some point raise their hand and say "excuse me, but won't these proposals make absolutely f***-all difference at these levels?"

Everyone involved in coming up with this proposal should have their pay docked for the time they've wasted coming up with it.

Ban on the sale of cheap alcohol - Telegraph

Supermarkets, shops and pubs are to be banned from selling alcohol below a minimum price for the first time, under Coalition plans to be unveiled today.



How much is a bottle of meths these days?

Homebrew, Mr Prawn, homebrew. Not like the old student days of producing fermented dog urine, some quality stuff nowadays for less than 40p a pint, all in a few weeks. Vacuum distillation of the brewing liquor, that's the secret as well as the use of proper brewing yeasts.

Actually got a nice barrel of Woodforde's Nelson's Revenge sitting there for later....mmmmm....

So far I've got three friends doing homebrew after sampling... but don't tell too many people otherwise the Righteous will start to ban/tax/fix price it.
