“How ridiculous, it's not going to stop those who want to binge. They'll just drink more and more”

“Why water beer down? "3%" beer (duty starts at 3%, weak beers are often under 3% but brewers label it 3% so as not to risk trouble with the excise man), aka 'boys bitter', is readily available, same for lagers. Raising the duty on stronger beer would be a lot simpler. That assumes strong beer is the problem, I suspect alcopops are more relevant.

Oh, wait, that's a link to the Daily Mail - expect no sense there!”

“The only way to stop binge drinking is to stop the supermarkets from selling it!”

“No it wont it will just make more prophit for breweries of course, simples”

“I'm afraid there are quite a few local pubs that have thought of that one already.”

“He's the man, the very fat man who waters the workers' beer..............”

“I'll piddle in your bear if you like.”
