    Yep, and I think the decision may have an impact on this policy too.

    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?

    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.

    Binge drinkers, strivers and shirkers, it's standard government language when they want to change policy.
