50p per unit.

Wouldn't actually make drink that much more expensive, would add about £1.50 on to the price of a multipack of Fosters, about 80p on the price of a four-pack of Special Brew. A bottle of Blossom Hill is already more than 50p per unit.

However it would increase the price of Frosty Jacks from £4.50 (£3.50 on 2 for £7) to £11.25 and the price of a bottle of ASDA's own Vodka from £10.00 to about £13.00.

I guarantee that one of you three will be the first to complain when you have to pay an extra £5 for something in a supermarket.

Then you'll rue the day you poured scorn upon me for starting this thread.

I hope you all fall down a well.

Can you work out how much a ten pack of biere de luxe would be?cheers.
 
Why would anybody want increased price?
Everybody pays extra because a small number of idiots overdo it. Increasing prices wont stop a heavy drinker or an alcoholic in any case

It was actually really enjoyable. Shipwreck IPA if you see it.

I managed to get four pints and something to eat and change from £10. Mint.

It might act as a deterrent. The Tories wanted to bring it in, and the SNP can't bring it in despise passing an act of the Scottish Parliament due to a pending legal challenge from the Scotch Whisky Association.
 
On the one hand I don't see why the majority should be penalised for the minority being dicks. On the other hand, everything I buy is over the minimum pence per unit anyway so fuck em.
