Going out for a quiet drink would remain almost the same price unless you tend to go for the 'women only, all you can drink for a tenner' type of places (which I doubt

Moderate drinkers would see a marginal increase, you need to get into serious quantities of booze before you see a big difference.

At the current proposed levels a bottle of frosty jack would go from £2.99 to £11.25 which is the type of drink they are looking at.
Obviously the plan needs to be discussed but I think there are definite benefits to it.
