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.
Showing my ignorance here LOL but what is frosty jack! could be my age though it must have a very high alcohol content indeed.


But the all you can drink for a tenner pubs would also be stopped i take it,as obviously they are cheaper then the supermarkets if you drank enough.Hic Hic.

But as a moderate drinker still do not see why i should pay anymore then now and i vote too.!!!! If it was just kiddie type drinks ie alcopops and the like i could live with it though.
