I'd like to see two different rates of duty for alcohol. One for drinking in the pub and another higher charge for off-sales.

Having that with a far greater emphasis on licensees having responsibility for not letting patrons get totally hammered and a minimum price per unit stopping the 3 litres for a pound type cider would do more to stop binge drinking than headline grabbing but totally unworkable ideas like this.
