Taunton seems even more appealing now...
Sure they tried this in Scotland and its being taken to court
Yep, and I think the decision may have an impact on this policy too.Originally Posted by Henry Hill
The slippery slope regarding a minimum alcohol price law is that it will start off low, so that it will be easily accepted into law, and then they will keep on increasing it!
I think may be a ploy to replace revenue being lost from the decline of the pub trade?
More profits for the supermarkets, more VAT to the government.
Personally I wouldn't touch "cheap" booze with a barge pole, I mean who wants to drink a £3 bottle of wine? But then again I a. don't drink much and b. I can afford decent stuff.
As far as I can see, the only people who are going to be affected are those who can't afford decent stuff. This could lead to more black market vodka etc, crime and potentially an increase in the abuse of other, more harmful stimulants.
I don't drink much either, but I have started brewing my own craft beer!
On a boat?
I often wonder how Wetherspoons accounts it’s meal and drink offers as they’re ludicrously cheap.
Binge drinkers is a little unfair to label people. The French (big generalisation I know) have a small glass of wine with food at lunch and tea every day. Is that binge drinking?
A lot of people will just ‘upbrand’ and the drinking will carry on as normal.
That will impact on the price of a pint in the ground before a match......
Fair play, you can be quite witty when you’re not threatening people with no legs.
Nobody was threatened and I'd hazard a guess that the "new" poster you refer to has legs that work perfectly well.

Are you saying he made up being disabled to get out of going to Beddau?
I see the thread got deleted. Which poster was it?
Can't believe you went there

I love the way stumbling about from side to side after 2 pints simulates the feeling of having drunk 10 pints.
The dictionary is your friend.
‘‘Twas a classic late night CCMB thread.Can't believe you went there
Either Croesy threatened a guy with no legs or somebody pretended to have no legs to shit out of a meet with Iron Mark Tyson.
Ive offered to meet him several times now but hes ignoring my pms. All talk and no walk.
Clearly got brave after a few beers. Hopefully binge drinking tax will put a stop to his threatening pms.
Was it Henry Hill?
Yes. And id still batter him with no legs, and one arm tied behind my back.
My advice: keep moving.
He’s not the most agile.
You carry on, I'm out of this post. No further interest whatsoever.
Binge drinkers, strivers and shirkers, it's standard government language when they want to change policy.
Thats what started the threats. He didnt take kindly to me offering him some dietary advice.

We’ve never been friends
